I clicked the link expecting to see that they'd hired Michael Vick.

If they thought it would help them sell more over priced coffee they would hire him in an instant.

Fantasia getting the shafted by Disney. Apparently it is being replaced by Dumbo as next Spring's Diamond Edition release.

Regardless of your opinion, Fantasia is one of the most important animated films ever made. It was also the 14th or 15th highest selling video for Disney, which was Disney's criteria for including it in the Platinum/Diamond Collection. 14th or 15th is higher selling than Dumbo.

Except that it's barely a film. Fantasia is as important as Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour in 3-D will be in the future. Once this becomes a commonly accepted and valid opinion I will begin to look at Fantasia as more than an overhyped tech demo.
