But unfortunately they have never had more than about 30% of the golden era live action films on the service. That has always been my only complaint with Disney plus and I always had my doubts that they would have the entire Disney catalog available on the streaming service as some thought they...

The Shaggy Dog 1959 is another one that is surprising that they didn't release.

Lots and lots of Blu Rays do not mention a restoration on the case. It seems to depend on the studio whether they do that regularly or not. Disney rarely mentions that expect for their Animated classics.

Agreed the Blu Ray looks very nice and was definitely restored.

I saw Island at the top of the World with the 20 minute short Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too in the theaters as well. Right after Christmas 1974 when I was about to turn 9 so I have found memories of the film. The final 20 minute chase is excellent but the setup to that point is lacking and...

Thats where the myth/misconception about Disney movies being full frame because of the TV show comes from. They made them as theatrical releases and like their animated films hoped to re-release them later if they were successful. If they were not then they went to TV a few years later but they...

Correct but they did briefly offer a talking viewmaster in the mid 70's. It had sound to go along with the pictures. I had one as a kid. I remember having scooby doo and a few other cartoons.

I agree on extra features but at this point we are lucky to get these movies at all when Disney thinks they have no value. After the initial release of Disney Plus they had about 25-30% of their classic era live action films on there but they were/are missing so many titles. Many thought Disney...

I'm looking forward to The Gnome mobile. It was widescreen on TCM so it should be here. I will probably pick up Darby o Gill on a later sale. I just rejoined the club due to them finally releasing some classic Live Action films again and Disney plus's continued disinterest in their classic era...

The difference from 1.37 to 1.33 isn't really noticeable on screens smaller than 60". On my 70" its about an inch on each side. Any 1.33 master of an open matte 1.37 is slightly zoomed in to achieve 1.33. And if you use that 1.33 master to add the widescreen matting its going to be too tight...

That old 1.33 listing about originally shot was misleading and was a way for them to release the old zoomed in VHS and Laserdisc master without having to pay for a new wide screen or true 1.37 open matte transfer. That DVD like most of their live action film DVD's was released in the early-mid...

Most Disney films did not appear on the TV show for a minimum of 5 years some much longer. There are a few exceptions. Disney frequently re-released their films and once they were shown on TV that diminished that value. So I don't think TV was ever a big consideration but its grown into a myth...

I don't think that was the case unfortunately. All but one or two of the live action titles that premiered on Disney Plus at launch were either already on blu ray or had existing HD masters that were shown on TCM and were available as Digital downloads. So I don't think they have been creating...

Its been on there in HD for over 2 years now along with a few other HD Live action movies and none have got a blu ray release in all that time. And as I mentioned earlier there are a couple dozen Disney Live Action movies in HD that are available for Digital downloads. Many of them also played...

Yes it is

That Darn Cat and The moon-Spinners are at least on Disney plus but Summer Magic hasn't been released on Blu Ray or Disney plus despite a new HD master being available. It was shown on TCM 3-4 years ago. But there are quite a few Disney live action movies with HD masters available for digital...

I would love a blu ray of Condorman but Disney isn't very interested in their 1950's-1980's live action catalog either on blu ray or Disney plus unfortunately.

All the titles they are releasing now are already in HD on Disney Plus and other streaming services so these are 0 effort releases instead of releasing some of the unreleased and often requested classic live action titles. They continue to ignore these both in this program and on Disney plus.

It sure looks like that but curiously no classic live action films have been added to Disney+ since launch in early November. Since there are 50-60 of them not on there that already have HD masters on iTunes and TCM I was hoping they would at least add 2-3 new titles a month. Right now Disney+...

Wow its only $12.50 through the Disney club when you purchase another title or $24.99 by itself.

The preview from the Dutch streaming service showed 0 classic tv shows. Very disappointing. Looks like a few Mickey Mouse cartoons and a handful of classic 50's-70's live action films. Better than nothing. Hopefully they will add more in the future but only time will tell. My guess is their...

I would guess theatrical too but the theatrical is titled Dr. Synn, Alias the Scarecrow so it would be odd if they are releasing the theatrical under the TV title.

I guess I have been lucky the past 5 years as I have never been sent a title I declined.

I received my Black Hole blue Ray but have not watched it yet. Bummer about the overture. I'm a big fan of John Barry's music. This has a great score very reminiscent of his James Bond scores. He was probably working on this score right after Moonraker.

Agreed it isn't a matter of complaining about whatever is released its the Disney Movie club once had a nice exclusive line of Walt era and 70's era live action films. Later films later crept into the mix which was fine but they have now taken over and walt era films are all but abandoned now...

In theory that's true but in reality all streaming services offer a selection of titles every month which includes new titles and titles remaining on the service. They always remove titles as well. No streaming service allows access to an entire library and never will or studios lose control of...

Yeah I never bother with this thread anymore since Disney seems to have abandoned the classic exclusives line and replaced it with 80's and 90's films that many on this forum have no interest in. That's why this thread has died. The last classic era live action they released was Freaky Friday at...

Hopefully Amazon, Fandango or Vudu will follow suit for those of us that can't use iTunes.

A lot of us do. Nothing here for me again. The once steady Disney club purchases from me have been non-existent for the last year due to no classic releases any more other than The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday

hmm yes the color is very disappointing in these clips. One thing that frustrated me collecting Disney movies on VHS and Laserdisc was that the color was always washed out. I remember Disney films always having vibrant color at the movies and on Wonderful World of Disney. DVD used mostly the...
