One of the more infuriating aspects of the DMC was simply how these exclusives were released so slowly. Due to that, all of us likely have several titles that remain - and perhaps permanently now - unreleased on blu (The Happiest Millionaire being my top want). We can also be honest in saying...

Too bad that they aren't blu-ray reissues of the Disney Treasures line.

The only reason I even have an iota of interest in Disney's proposed Zorro reboot is the small possibility that there could be a blu-ray release of the original series to go along with it. They did do that with Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers after all. As for the DMC this year, it was mostly a...

If you bide your time, most DMC titles can be acquired from ebay for around the twenty to thirty dollar mark. Clearly still more than what you'd pay through the club, but if you want to avoid the hassle of the featured title non-sense, then the premium may be worth it. I've been mulling over...

Something Wicked This Way Comes :thumbsup: Still nothing from Walt Disney's time :thumbsdown:

:thumbsdown:

The DVD case says 2.35:1 which is what the IMDB states. For a Cinemascope film, that doesn't strike me as odd, but I know that some of the earlier Cinemascope films (like 20K Leagues Under the Sea) can be a bit wider. Is that the case here?

The Great Locomotive Chase is widescreen on its DVD, but it is a non-anamorphic transfer. The only other scope Walt Disney features I can think of are 20K Leagues Under the Sea, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, and Swiss Family Robinson. There are also a handful of scope shorts like Grand...

Hey DMC. A lot of us are still waiting for The Happiest Millionaire.

Actually, the four "season 3" episodes were equally divided between the two WDT Zorro sets.

As far as I know, the feature film compilations of Zorro have never been released onto DVD or blu-ray.

Don't forget "The Happiest Millionaire"! I'm glad to see Dr. Syn get a blu-ray, but oddly enough I'm not excited over that selection mostly because I was among the lucky few who was able to get the WDT version when it was released. I've watched it several times over the past decade with the...

My opinion, as if it counts, is that instead of trying to put out a complete collection of MMC episodes that Disney should instead put out a curated collection of the Mouseketeer segments. Under most circumstances, you should put out the entire show uncut, but in the case of the MMC there is so...

What may be more likely is that "Babes in Toyland" was for whatever random or undiscernable (to us) reason the first vintage live action title selected for blu-ray release. It likely didn't sell well, and the Disney execs interpreted that as consumer indifference so they pulled the plug on...

Let me be clear - I have no inside knowledge of the inner workings of WDHV. Whether that's good or bad I'll leave up to all of you. ;) It could be a completely crackpot theory - hence why I couched it in conspiracy theory terms. I'll be the first to admit that I might be projecting certain...

Agreed. One of my JFK grassy knoll type suspicions is that the Disney home video division intentionally chose "Babes in Toyland" - a flop upon its release and a film that has never really gained much of a following - as its first deep catalog vintage live action blu-ray release so it would fail...

So when can we get back to griping about Disney not putting out the films we want? :D

Physical media serves a different purpose than streaming, and the presence of a new streaming service isn't necessarily going to displace entirely the demand for the other. The demand for the physical media may wane to the point that only the hard-core fanatics like us are there. However, if...

My criticism of the DMC is that they've done a fairly poor job (at least in my opinion) of releasing the Walt-era classics during the last few years. If they want to put the post-1990 stuff out, fine. For the most part, I have no interest in the newer stuff, but I don't necessarily begrudge the...

I actually encountered a person once who was adamant that A Goofy Movie was done on video and not on film. This could get interesting. As for the aspect ratio, the film was released in widescreen on laserdisc. Has anyone ever done a comparison between the LD and DVD?

I would love to see the proper Cinemascope version of Westward Ho the Wagons. Long overdue for home media!

The Goofy movies do strike me as "consensus" selections. Those of us who want Disney to temporarily get of the 1990s train and put out some Walt-era titles would probably be interested since these titles do hearken back to the earlier Disney cartoons, and the millennials wanting to relive their...

On the coming soon section of the DMR website, you can see the cover art for the new DMC blu-rays for "A Goofy Movie" and "An Extremely Goofy Movie." Yes, I'm disappointed that once again the Walt-era classics are being ignored, but I would be lying if I said I'm not happy to see "A Goofy...

By this time last year, the first three 2018 DMC exclusives had already been released. The lack of any news for 2019 is disturbing to say the least. I really hope to hear something soon - even if it is only the announcement of another mediocre 90s title (at least then there would still be some...

Personally, I can't stand the SW franchise so I really don't have a stake in this argument. My brother though is about as big of a fan as you can imagine. Almost every SW fan stereotype you can imagine is found in my brother. Anyway I asked him once about his opinion about the special edition...

You can also strike Son of Flubber off of the "not on blu-ray" list. If only we could say that about most if not all of the other ones listed.....

I certainly wouldn't be upset to see 20K Leagues Under the Sea either!

I am probably one of the few millennials who still doesn't have any streaming subscriptions. At some point I probably will cave in and get a subscription to something, but with my disc collection and unwatched movies on my DVR (mostly recorded from TCM), I just really don't have the time and...

You may very well be right, but I still like to see Disney try to maintain more of a balance between the classic and modern eras.

To be fair to Disney, they also put out the original 1961 version of The Parent Trap and the Saludos Amigos/The Three Caballeros double feature last year. Still, I agree with you that the ratio between the classics (which we have been begging for) and the modern stuff (I'm sure some were pleased...
