The 1950 classic Cinderella, one of the most beloved in Disney’s vault, remains the animated fairy tale classic by which all others are measured.

Disney had previously announced Cinderella‘s Blu-ray debut in its Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition in 2011. Here’s the link to that report.

The G-rated film, which runs for 74 minutes, was nominated for three Academy Awards for sound, score and the song “Bibbidy-Bobbidi-Boo.” Although it didn’t take home any statues, the movie is a timeless piece of celluloid that’s squarely in the hearts of all Disney animation lovers.

Cinderella: Diamond Edition Blu-ray will be offered in the following three configurations, the biggest one containing two additional Cinderella DVD premieres:

6-Disc Jewelry Box Set: Cinderella Blu-ray + Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True Blu-ray/Cinderella  3: A Twist in Time on a single Blu-ray + Cinderella DVD + Cinderella 2 DVD + Cinderella 3 DVD + Cinderella Digital Copy Disc

3-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack: Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy

2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack: Blu-ray + DVD

Cinderella was released as a Platinum Edition DVD in 2005, and although it’s now on moratorium, a few copies can still be found.

The Blu-ray Combo packs include all the special features from that earlier DVD plus new extras. Here’s the list of the classic bonuses:
