Anyone join the DISNEY MOVIE CLUB? (1 Viewer)

Don't you already own the feature-laden DVD? If so, then you don't need the extras. I'm perfectly content stuffing the DVDs into the Blu-ray case and having the best of everything.

Same here!

Great News on Swiss Family Robinson. I'm definitely in on that one. Hopefully 20,000 leagues will follow as well as so more Hayley Mills and Dean Jones films.

"Return to Oz" on Blu... a dream come true for me... It WOULD have to be a DMC exclusive though...

I feel exactly the same way!!!!

Where did you see the announcement for Return to Oz and Swiss Family ?

 

[lukejosephchung]

I already have the Vault Disney steelbook DVD for "Swiss Family Robinson", so I'd be more than happy to simply add the upcoming blu-ray for upgrading the picture itself to an HD restoration...it's all good, IMO!!!

Ditto. I have the Special Edition Tin from DMC of SFR. This Blu release announcement is a Godsend.

Now if I could just get the Blu-ray case into the tin...

It appears Return to Oz (1985) 30th Anniversary and Swiss Family Robinson (1960) 55th Anniversary are the upcoming Blu-ray exclusives. Release date 4/14/15

Got a link? It's not showing up yet on DMC.

In the other forum someone posted scans from next month's mailer. I think he must work for the printer or something to always get this information early.

After Polyanna was released I joined (completed, cancelled, and rejoined) the DMC just for the hope of picking up titles like SFR on blu-ray. Of course it also allowed me to upgrade 20+ Disney DVD's to blu-ray at around $9 each, but the real goal was to not miss out on some favorites of the past as they get blu-ray exclusives. However I never expected one of my top four favorite titles (likely to be released as exclusives) to come out so quickly. After this I will just need 20,000 Leagues, Parent Trap, and Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow. This is great news.

I just watched the HD streaming version of "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" on iTunes last week, and if that's any indication, when/if they do a Blu-ray, it should look spectacular. (I definitely have my fingers crossed!)

I say, bring on THE JOURNEY OF NATTY GANN, which has always looked abysmal on video. Great family film with an edge, and a terrific animal story. Beautiful James Horner score as well. Criminally neglected by its parent company.

Yes I do but I would rather replace the DVD instead of adding another disc. I prefer to get rid of previous versions when a Blu arrives. I don't understand why Disney does not port over the extras they entertained us with with their DVD releases. I guess it's just a personal thing with me.

What if you want the commentary and the HD picture at the same time? The Pollyanna commentary was quite good. David Swift said he wanted to cut the bazaar sequence in half but Walt overruled him. Hayley Mills compared working for Walt favorably to working for the New Regime that was already in place when she came back for Parent Trap II, III and Hawaiian Honeymoon, and the prototype of The Thing That Killed Saturday Morning Cartoons On NBC*.

*Most people refer to it as Saved by the Bell. When Disney had a hand it and Hayley was a teacher, they called it Good Morning, Miss Bliss. I was watching Looney Tunes over on ABC. Besides, Nick at Nite already spoiled it for me with Dobie Gillis reruns.

Even though they are not up for sale yet, the artwork is up on the club site (hidden links).

You'd think that Disney would have picked up on their error with the Vault Disney DVD cover and included Tommy Kirk in the cast photo...

I would like a clarification please.

I am not a member of DMC, however I am interested in a few of these 'exclusives'.

From reading this forum, it appears that these titles can't be used for either the 5 for a $1 or for the three required (commitment) purchases. Is this correct?

So, in order to purchase these titles, you will need to buy at least eight other titles (with at least six initially). Is this also correct?

And also, to even have these titles available, when joining up, you need to call in - you can't see them online. Correct?

Here is an HD comparison of the POLLYANNA Blu-ray that Disney released and the prior HD master that has been available through several streaming platforms.

The exclusives are available for the enrollment titles though a bit of YMMV, Calling in I know several people who have gotten all 6 exclusives. 4 of the exclusives are availalbe even on the website enrollment site -- click the Exclusives box on the left side of the page.


They shouldn't be available for at least the last 2 Fulfillment titles due to their price though I think if you get one of them for your 6th title (11.95) it will count as your first commitment title -- assuming you use the 3 commitment promo code


So in theory you could call in and get all 6 exclusives in the intial enrollment for 12.95 (possibly add some 7th item for 8.95 non-commitment) and only need to buy 2 other 29.95 titles to fulfil your enrollment.

David,


I believe you cannot get those titles as intros. I think there are only select titles you can order as introductory purchases from the Disney page.


What someone could TRY doing is getting the order number off these exclusives and plugging them into the introductory form. I kind of doubt this can be done, but worth trying.


Another problem is, buying these titles does NOT count towards your obligation agreement. So, I didn't start buying them until after I finished my obligation and where I was able to get one for half price with every full price purchase.


Finally, only club members can see these titles listed online as far as I know.
