Where oh where is The Fighting Prince of Donegal?!
That was one of my favorite movies back when I was very small, a long time ago in a galaxy named New Jersey.  |

I pray for all to be OAR but when you look at the recent catalog releases (Moon-Spinners, Gnome-Mobile, Follow Me Boys...) it's probably too much to hope for. All will probably be barebones and if we're lucky half will be oar.

It's almost frustrating seeing these Disney Catalog announcement, because you now have be concened with how many will get OAR treatmen.

Tiger Town was an early Disney Channel movie (with Roy Scheider), so it should be 1.33:1 Hans Brinker was originally on the anthology series, as was The Christmas Star (the former from the early 60s, the latter from 1986).

Of the ones Anchor Bay originally released, I hope they get new transfers - yeah, right.

My guess is that most of the titles will be pan and scan/full screen, but that those originally released in widescreen by Anchor Bay will be anamorphic. Some nice little titles in the July batch - GREYFRIAR'S BOBBY and THOMASINA are decent movies and great for people who love animals, but I have almost no faith these will be OAR.

Jeff: we can only hope!
I hope Disney goes into their vault again (later) and releases TONKA on DVD. Great movie (touted as a family movie but with a great depiction of the Custer massacre at the end of the film) which I haven't seen in 20+ years.

I may get Never Cry Wolf, as I never got the Anchor Bay DVD. Hope it's anamorphic.

I'm excited about these releases... of course I've come to expect very little from Disney anymore, and I'm only expecting OAR from the titles Anchor Bay originally released OAR.
As much as I hate pan and scan, I'm trying to be calm and philosophical about the whole thing. A lot of these movies are obscure, so trying to decide whether to buy the DVD, I ask myself: years ago, would I have bought this movie on VHS, just to be able to *see* it? Yup. (Some of the films listed above I *did* buy on VHS). And of course the VHS wouldn't be OAR. I know, we all expect more from DVD. It sucks that the studios are treating DVD like VHS. But I can't pass up the opportunity to watch/own an old movie that's out of print on VHS, that I've been dying to see... so yeah. I'll just have to start thinking of the pan and scan DVDs as VHS-tapes-that-at-least-wont-wear-out.  |
