Disney releases classic Cinderella: Diamond Edition on Blu-ray and DVD this August

Those who have good memories will recall how crazy Disney Home Entertainment reacted to DVD as a format, giving limited time frame releases that their movies could be bought inside of, after which gone forever. Only they reneged eventually on that whole misguided step, probably after Eisner left, but we often do, we digress.

Out on 27th August is your chance to own one of their most loved films, this time in a new edition in high definition and DVD again too, the Cinderella: Diamond Edition.

Digitally remastered in 7.1 DTS-HD and with a 1.0 DTS-HD original mono mix on the Blu-ray, and 5.1 Dolby Digital on the SD version.

And now for some marketing blurb, which also contains more info on the contents...
