1) Aladdin Platinum Edition
2) Mulan Special Edition

1) My favorite movie of all time has finally come home on DVD, and in what is arguably Disney's best SE since Snow White. Great transfer, fun, insightful commentaries, and a one-of-a-kind reunion that Disney doesn't often do, which ended up being really funny and amazingly informative, even to an Aladdin nut like me. I'm absolutely thrilled with this DVD.

2) Mulan, coming so close in proximity to the breakthrough Aladdin, isn't nearly as satisfying as an overall rounded product, but it does feature a very nice transfer and some solid featurettes and such, even if it's not as comprehensive as Aladdin was. A very solid SE and one that I'm very glad to own.
