Hopefully this isn't inappropriate to ask (I feel kind of strange posting such a request, so perhaps it is), but if anyone that's a member is up for placing an order for me, there's several things I'd love to get.
While I've paid a premium price for several things like The Parent Trap on...
It was done on 35 mm film and then edited on videotape. That's how the HD restoration that I believe premiered alongside the launch of Disney Plus was made possible.
It's also why very occasionally you'll get a short scene that suddenly isn't HD quality (I viewed this series on there last...
I doubt there's much of a chance, but would be nice to see that Chip 'n' Dale episode that's upconverted videotape on Disney Plus be fixed for Blu-Ray (Or at least a disclaimer to explain why that wasn't possible). I believe it was the one with the baby dinosaur that comes to Earth via UFO to...
I didn't really like The Family Way.
I haven't quite seen every movie she did, so perhaps there's a surprise or two in there after she filmed The Trouble With Angels. But at this point, I'm pretty skeptical after having seen probably 80% of them in-between that movie and her return to Disney...
Randy said The Moon-Spinners. I was agreeing with his list (Although I'm personally completely content with my DVD of Summer Magic and probably wouldn't upgrade that one), and adding The Trouble With Angels after her original Disney career concluded.
I've never seen Tiger Bay, so I guess I'll...
I have no interest in joining the Disney Movie Club, but I'd love to partake in a deal that would get me three classics on Blu-Ray at a good price, if The Parent Trap and a couple of other classics are available and I'd only be out less than $30.
I wonder if Pollyanna, the Swiss Family...
Is that the movie that they butchered some B-29's for?
I remember enjoying it when I was 8 years old or so, but I bet it would bug me seeing what they were doing to some Superfortress fuselages now if I were to watch it.
I don't think they need to advertise.
It's up to families to expose their children to these classics, if the kids are open to older material and don't just recognize that it's not a brand new movie and immediately dismiss it. I think a heavy move on Disney's part to advertise these, even on...
What could they really have expected, when they've so limited the distribution of these?
Something like The Son of Flubber, priced appropriately at $15-$20, could easily move five copies at every one of the 5,000 + Wal-Mart's in the US alone. That's an easy ~$500,000 right there for a release...
I think that the earlier portions where he's just ejected from his fighter and is slowly working his way through his survival manual that seems designed to sabotage his efforts to survive more so than assist his chances, is a solid classic Disney comedy. Certainly not up there with the greats...
TCM showed a good looking widescreen transfer of Lt. Robin Crusoe last night. Wasn't this one an average looking pan & scan transfer on its DVD release?
Hope that gets a Blu-Ray release one of these days, although I'm not crazy about the 2nd half of the movie.
The Parent Trap is the big one that I'm waiting for.
While I love The Shaggy Dog and hope to see it soon, wouldn't this one go best with its sequel, Son of Flubber? Not that they seem to be after themed pairs of releases as said (The Apple Dumpling Gang is another that could've been expected to...
I hate to say it, but maybe today's sad news will make Disney get around to releasing The Parent Trap. That's the greatest of all of Disney's live action classics as far as I'm concerned, despite some stiff competition.
I would've thought that Pollyanna, The Parent Trap (The Hayley Mills version, that is), the Swiss Family Robinson, and Old Yeller would've been the best choices for an initial round of live action Disney classics on Blu-Ray.
Or at least, that's where I'd of started out at. I like both of these...
