20000 Leagues Under The Sea and In Search of the Castaways — DMC Exclusives Coming Soon (1 Viewer)

[David Norman]

That’s good to know! There’s stuff I can get to make an enrollment package but I’d also be happy to keep my current membership if they’d let me add that. I’ll give it a try.

Definitely a YMMV depending on the rep you get, but if they don't offer you can just ask "Is it possible"

Even stranger a couple Canadians have reported being offered a similar option and FS in Canada is a far more rare part of their
monthly offers and substantially more expensive. They don't even have a Free Shipping promo offer to leverage. There is actually a bigger reason for them to enroll if they are on an older plan since there is a newer promo code that attaches B1G50% and G60% offers in place of their normal G40% and G50% codes. The Canadian monthly offers have almost always been 10% less than the US offers. If they can upgrade to the higher % discounts and then attach the FS, their deal becomes substantially better

A little late to this party, but let me also say how thrilled I am to see these two Walt-era classics get their due on Blu-ray! This is fantastic news indeed and gives me hope that we'll still see these types of releases even after Disney+ debuts. Thank you Disney for finally making these two classic films available to purchase!

I think I'm more excited about, In Search Of The Castaways. I was just turned 12 when I saw it (& 12 was a lot younger in 1962 than it is now), & it was quite magical; the earthquake leading then sliding down those ice caves, the big eagle carrying off one of the children, & most of all, the huge wave & the big tree that saves them (& Maurice Chevalier singing Enjoy It). I haven't seen it for decades & I don't know how it will stand up now that I'm old & cynical. If I see it at a reasonable price on ebay I'll buy it.

1991-2003 is 12 not 8.

It reopened in 1995 and I saw it in 2003...that's

1991-2003 is 12 not 8.

Thanks for the math correction.

 

[Randy Korstick]

Wow great news for me on both titles and call me shocked as I never thought we would see another pre 1985 title from the DMC after a year plus dry spell.

I'll admit that I'm not a huge Disney fan, and I already own most of their films that interest me, but I joined the club yesterday JUST to get my hands on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Along with Journey to the Center of the Earth, this film made a huge impression on me as a kid and became part of my DNA. Can't WAIT to see it in HD!

 

[Johnny Angell]

Actually I got the date wrong on the reopening of the theater. I saw the film in 2003, which was about 8 years after it reopened.

As a LAFD fire inspector, I had the privilege to walk thru the whole theater including the entire building. Wow, they dropped a bundle restoring it.

So you had Ray Harryhausen in your home and you get to inspect classic theaters. I’ll just sit here and eat my heart out.

Most excellent news, I'm glad I still have my membership going... I'll pick both of these up!

 

[holtge]

Is it too soon for pre-orders?

 

[David Norman]

Can't tell from the smiley if you already know, but Exclusives usually don't have pre-orders -- they just go live on release day

 

[Mike2001]

Thanks for the discussion about calling CS to add the free shipping for life perk to an existing membership. I just tried that and CS was happy to add it for me. I don't know if trying that would have occured to me without this thread.

That just started in the last couple weeks. I think they've gotten so many longer term members calling to cancel and re-enroll specifically for that perk (or calling and complaining about new members getting a better deal) I guess they figured it was better just to keep their current members. I was less surprised at the US club doing that, but pretty much shocked when I heard a couple of the canadians get the same offer - they've been dying for a Free Shipping option.

The other weird thing is the sales tax -- not that they're having to do it like almost everyone, but which states still are exempt. New York and Texas went early with the Amazon Tax but are still exempt with DMC, but Florida was the shocker with all of Disney's businesses based there.

David, I concur with you that this announcement deserves its own thread. Fantastic news! So great to get two more Walt era films on Blu.

Yes, I know they don't take pre-orders, but I just wanted to show my enthusiasm to pick them up as soon as possible. Thanks @David Norman!

Well I could not be happier!! More Hayley!! (and I'm sure finally in the correct aspect ratio!)

 

[MarkA]

Whoops! Double post.

I thought you already knew that, but just in case non DMC folks are reading just to make sure they know that joining today won't allow them order order fro release day delivery.

There has always been a bit of slough room starting Thu-Mond prerelease where sometimes they cna manually place the order for you -- lately it's been Monday since the phones/chat don't work weekends

So now that this is actually happening, what becomes the next holy grail from Disney
The Black Hole or Never Cry Wolf?

 

[Darby67]

I am thrilled that these two titles are finally getting Blu-ray releases!
