Yes, Christmas 1990. Dumbo was the first of the "classic" Disney films to be shown on telly, on ITV on Christmas Day 1986, but I think the record for the longest gap between cinema and telly was Sleeping Beauty, which premiered on Christmas Day 1994.
The B-list Disney films used to get a regular outing, their seventies version of Robin Hood used to be a familiar filler around Christmas.

Aladdin was shown on The Disney Channel at Easter 1997 I think.
Makes sense about Pinocchio, didn't that not get shown until about 1990 or something? Can't be many films to have their terrestrial premiere 50 years after their theatrical one!

I'm pretty sure The Lion King or one of the spin-offs of the Lion King series has been seen on terrestrial TV. Or some Disney production involving lions I'm sure I've seen on terrestrial TV at some point.
Fantasia's been out on DVD for a long while - since 2000 apparently.
Currently £56 at Play.com, next release date March 2011 apparently.

HSM3 is the first theatrical release the first two were TV movies. I don't think BBC or ITV has ever broadcast The Lion King.

The Lion King has been broadcast on both BBC One and ITV1 in the past few years.
I know that the BBC have already got the rights to HSM3 and will broadcast it probably NEXT Christmas. This year though we've got to put up with HSM and HSM2 again on both BBC One and BBC Three!

Quite right, I can't say I've recalled The Lion King being on BBC or ITV at any point, it has been on The Disney Channel a couple of times, but other than that, probably not.
Do Disney sell their movies on a movie by movie basis or a package? As you see some of the newer films on the BBC, but you see others like Mary Poppins being shown on ITV1/3, like it has been this weekend.

I think they were sold in a package. The recent Disney/Buena Vista films were bought by the BBC and the BBC used to have rights to older Disney films, like Mary Poppins, which have now turned up on ITV.
What I find interesting is that some films swap channels quite regularly but Die Hard and Pretty Woman have been on ITV since their first showings. ITV have several channels so I think they need quite a few movies to show across the channels, and I remember them buying a stack of new movies but these deals included classics from a specific studio thrown in.
