Since the advent of DVD, Walt Disney Home Entertainment has released several "Special Edition" or "Anniversary Edition" DVDs and Blu-rays of their theatrical feature films, often to commemorate a milestone anniversary of the film's release. Unlike the earlier Classic, Masterpiece, and Gold Classic Collections, these releases do not seem to be a uniform collection of videos, though recent Blu-ray releases seem to have similar designs on the cover art.
