Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment have announced that they will be releasing two animation classics on Blu-Ray: Sleeping Beauty and Finding Nemo.The first animated Platinum title coming to Blu-ray will be Sleeping Beauty. The disc will include a virtual castle and multi-player activities – both utilizing the new BD-Live technology.

Along with Sleeping Beauty, we will be treated to another Pixar release. This time we’ll get to experience Nemo’s adventure in high definition when the Finding Nemo Blu-Ray is released in Fall 2008 along with Sleeping Beauty.

Our guess is that Finding Nemo will be released in November alongside the DVD/Blu-Ray release for Wall-E — much like the upcoming Ratatouille and Cars Blu-Ray releases.

UltimateDisney has the DVD/Blu-Ray cover art for three upcoming Disney releases: Ratatouille, Pixar Shorts Films, and Cars.
