I for one am excited for the Mighty Ducks. Being 32, I grew up watching these and Cool Runnings.
However, these are not the only titles I've purchased. I like a lot of the Disney Live Action titles and I'm a big supporter of a title finally getting an OAR, or close to OAR release. For instance, I've purchased near all of the DMC releases as many of them were the first time the titles were released OAR widescreen or 16:9. I always figure if these sell, more will come out. Yes, some of the titles I've purchased were ones I had never seen before, but I've never been disappointed with any of them. I just like movies and the ability to own them and watch them whenever I want. I also like the ability to bring them to a friends house.
From what I read every day, I come from a dying breed of people. I've never been a fan of streaming for movies. I don't mind streaming for a tv show, but I never or rarely do that for a movie. There's always been great pleasure in buying and opening a new release, or the joy of a title I've always wanted finally coming out to own and in OAR. Heck, I'm a big supporter of 3D since now you can even see those films the way they were meant to be seen...which to me is awesome!
I still have many favorites from all companies that have not yet come out. I just hope that programs like this continue and that boutique labels stay around and keep getting sales so that more back catalog titles will get remastered and released properly.
As for titles I hope the DMC release, I have a ton and they are from all of the timeline years.
I for one would be thrilled if the Honey I Shrunk the kids trilogy came out.

and many more.
I also hope that someone convinces Disney to license their live action titles from Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures etc. I know Kino has a deal with them, but it is mainly for the ABC titles (which I am thrilled they have) and the Selznick titles. They have some Touchstone and Hollywood titles, but only ones that Disney did not release themselves or license out.
They have SOOO many titles that got full frame or non-anamorphic widescreen dvd releases...since at first they did not support anamorphic enhancement. I'm hoping for a day when we can have a proper release of titles like Up Close and Personal, Eddie, Six Days Seven Nights, Metro, and others. Disney seems to have no desire to release these...so WHY don't they let a company like Kino release them? It doesn't make sense to me. If you don't want to take the risk of releasing them. Make some money and let Kino take the risk? I have the same question for the majority of the Paramount titles. Kino and Olive can only license titles that Paramount didn't release themselves...even though there are a TON of titles that need blujray releases!
I truly hope that this is not close to the end of the road for physical media. However, I feel truly blessed as with all of the boutique labels, the past few years has been AMAZING for titles I've always wanted to own and come out. Regardless of what will happen, it is truly an amazing time to be a physical media/ bluray owner.
