I second the idea of some of the mystery and adventure episodes. My wife's great aunt wrote The Secrets of the Pirates Inn" and her family has been trying for years to get Disney to release the movie on DVD or at least show it on TV, but have had no luck so far.

I will admit that I have enjoyed this series as much as everyone but think that Disney did a very poor job of marketing the series. I think the first thing they should have focused on was completing all the animated series first and then switching to some of the live action. Whats the point of havin...

TDC finally went downhill when it became part of the standard cable package about 5 years ago. Up until then, it was a premium channel that you had to pay extra to receive. Like someone has previously mentioned, when it was a premium service the quality was higher due to the fact they had to offer s...

Our local newspaper had an article about the format war last Friday. Basicaly is sounds like the sales of the next gen dvd's are not going well at all. Retailers have said they are selling very few HD DVD players and even less Blue Ray players. They said most consumers wanted to wait and see which f...

I collect them because the bring back memories and its something I can share with my son. Its a shame the quality of cartoons kids have now compared to what was on when I was a child.

The problem with Blue Ray is that unless you have an HD TV with HDMI capability its pointless. Currently only 15% of the US population has an HDTV. It will be several years before enough HDTV's are sold to really push the Blue Ray sales. The technology is great but I think it is out just a little to...

I would also like to see this film. My Wife's Great Aunt is the author of the book. She had several others that Disney considered but I believe Secrets of the Pirates Inn was the only one they turned into a movie. Our family has contacted Disney several times and asked if they could show the movie, ...

2 weeks before Christams is their slowest time of the year. Its a great week to go, no crowd and all the xmas activities in full swing. There is nothing like visiting Disney during xmas. If you are able to stay the entire week that gives you the opportunity to take in all the events. I dont think we...

In all honesty as much as I love Disney I am not sure we will see much of an improvement. I noticed TDC went down hill when the cable companies removed it from the premium channel lineup. When we had to pay for the channel the programming was a lot better. I love the fact that we do not have to pay ...

My wife and I went for our honeymoon the week of Dec 15th. 2 weeks before XMAS is always their slowest week of the year(according to their information). Disney World during Xmas is just awesome. There is nothing like it. We purchased a package that allowed us to attend every event. We did everything...

Disney needs to do something. Their current line up really stinks. The problem is that I dont know what the solution would be. I think they probably need to have a mix of both old and new. Maybe after 8pm they could have retro Disney. It would be great to see a mix of the old cartoons, old MMC, WWOD...

For some reason Maltin has said that True Life Adventures will not be included in the Treasures series, however, I believe they are still going to be released on DVD. Chip N Dale is a must have. I just dont know if they have enough shorts to fill a DVD. It would be great if they could combine them o...

I think before they release the DCOM on DVD, they need to start releasing the WWOD movies. These movies were 100 times better than the crap they are putting on The Disney Channel today.

I'm sorry maybe its because I am 28, but I thought this was one of the worst DCOM I have seen. My wife teaches music and has performed in several musicals and even she thought it was terrible. I can seen why younger children and maybe even the pre-teen crowd may like it, but The Disney Channel reall...

Its definitely going to be fun watching this format war. I just dont see 2 different formats(HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) being successful. Only one of these formats is going to survive. Thats unless there will be some sort of player that can play both types. Are both the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD going to be backw...
