Frozen 3D Bungle?! (1 Viewer)

I am thinking that it is unlike Disney to back out from getting more money, so they might release it how it is now and then a few weeks/months later release the 3D Blu-ray so chumps I will give them even more money.

It's always "greed", isn't it? That's what it ALWAYS comes down to, the one most believable theory to explain anything Disney does when other explanations aren't forthcoming, isn't it?
Let's put logical arguments aside, and just embrace the subjective abstract variable of "I didn't trust 'em then, and I don't trust 'em now!"
So....that's all you've got, then, in favor of any other theory explaining no release or a months-delayed release, thinking that They're Out To Shake Your Pockets Down?

Well, call me a conspiracy theorist, but the BD of Saving Mr. Banks is also gone from Amazon now...

 

[Mau5Trap98]

Hmmmmm something really weird is going on here

Jason,

I have to say every time I visit this thread, this comment makes me laugh.

I have to see Frozen this weekend to make a decision if I'm going to order it...

Oh, who am I kidding? I have Cinderella II/III on the shelf...

 

[Jason_V]

HAHA! I'm one of those completist kind of people. It's really no shock what I will order...but I always hold the new release in the Cinderella II/III light. They never seem so bad after that!

Don't forget Superman III/IV

 

[Jason_V]

Got them on DVD...haven't upgraded to the BD set yet. But yeah, *coughcoughCatwomancoughcough*

 

[Johnny Angell]

Cat woman? You got it. Bad, and that ain't good.

 

[Jason_V]

It's bad, Johnny. I'm trying to stop...but I need a support group or something!

10 years of Eisner without Katzenberg and Wells will do that to you.

There's also a third possibility...that they're just plain misguided. No sinister agenda behind the scenes, just a series of bad decisions of which this is one.

Are you sure?

Saving Mr. Banks

 

[Mau5Trap98]

When I contacted Disney and they finally responded they just sent me a link to fill out a form I already had so I got nowhere with them

 

[Ejanss]

Are you sure?

Saving Mr. Banks

Darn--If It HAD been canceled, that would've cemented "Disney had to change disk-production companies at the last minute" as the prevailing theory.
As it is, it was just an Amazon glitch over cover/listings...Nothing to see here.

"Frozen" 3D update...got an email from Amazon's UK website saying that Disney's 3D region-free blu-ray will be available March 31st!!!

You think you've got it bad? I'm no completist (you couldn't pay me to own the DTV sequels and where live-action is concerned, even I must draw the line somewhere), but I've been trying hard to get down to one copy per movie of everything, Disney or otherwise. It's hard when extras keep getting dumped with nothing of equal or greater quality replacing them. I'll join you in your support group.

"Frozen: Sing Along" opens this Friday. This movie has legs.

 

[Mau5Trap98]

Again with the whole money money money thing

When you get in that support group you will have to acknowledge a higher power: The Studio Home Entertainment Divisions.

Actually, my Amazon pre-order was cancelled. Here is a portion of the email I received this morning...

Hello,

We're writing about order #113-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX. We recently learned that Saving Mr. Banks [Blu-ray] is no longer available from our supplier. As a result, we canceled this item from your order, and you haven't been charged. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

It appears Disney has reconfigured the package. My cancelled pre-order was for a Blu-ray / DVD combo-pack. The DVD is gone from the new version and is replaced by a digital copy, and I don't recall for certain, but I think the new list price is slightly higher than the old pre-order. Amazon did include a $6.40 promotional credit to apply towards the new version, but since my other pre-order was locked in at $14.49, I spoke with customer service in order to secure the new one at the previous price.

It's not a big deal, really, thanks to Amazon's stellar customer service, but it does reinforce to me that Disney is definitely testing the waters with new price points and package contents. BTW, Amazon is now listing a pre-order for the DVD version for $20.99 (MSRP $29.99). A $30 DVD in 2014?? Yikes! That's scary!
