Candidly? I don't think they think so much about old school Disney fans. It's not necessarily with bad intentions but there are a number of factors I've observed first-hand. First, Disney's a 90-year-old company. Other than the really big reminders of Disney's yesteryear success - the classic animat...

We need to send a note of thanks to the Disney Movie Club, because I've been pleasantly surprised with the new exclusive release, "The Magnificent Rebel." When I popped in the DVD to begin watching it, I was at first upset when I saw a snippet of the film, thinking the disc was flawed and ...

I am so there! From ordering tickets, I learned there's a 30-minute Q&A with Richard Sherman and Eddie before the Friday night show, and a 30-minute Q&A with Richard about the Sherman Brothers' music before the Saturday night show. Since this is within driving distance for me, I'm going to g...

I just opened my new monthly flyer from the DMC, and in addition to it promoting the new "Horse with the Flying Tail" and "Double Switch" DVDs, it also lists a great classic, "Sammy the Way-Out Seal"!!! It's #1093580/Full Screen in the DMC's inventory list. It doesn't g...

As a 14-year-old Disney fan, I was tremendously excited by Disney's return to television when "The Disney Sunday Movie" came on the air in early 1986. Not only was it the return of Disney to television, but the fare was something I was interested in, my younger siblings could watch, and my...

I was 14 when "The Great Mouse Detective" came out and liked it enough that I saw it twice. The summer before, I also saw "The Black Cauldron" twice. Between "The Fox and the Hound" in 1981 and "TBC" in 1985, that was a really long dry spell for new Disney ani...

Skippy,

That's great that these two new exclusive titles will allow you to get the studio tour! That's somehow fitting, that two of Walt's earliest films will get you in to see where the magic was started by Walt and his team!

I just received my Disney Movie Club mailer packet. The big surprise was that in addition to "Almost Angels" being released exclusively tomorrow (12/14), "The Sword and the Rose" is also being released! I'm very glad to get this one to add to "The Story of Robin Hood" a...

Just three weeks after the last title arrived in the little-advertised "Wonderful World of Disney Signature Movie Edition" DVD series, the newest title has shipped. It's "The Boatniks," from 1970, and I must admit, that this one has never been among my favorites. I always expecte...

Big Red is the newest title that arrived this week. This one's worthy of note because unlike the first three titles - Swiss Family Robinson, Apple Dumpling Gang, and Follow Me, Boys - this title was only publicly available on DVD first as an Anchor Bay release and then as a Disney Movie Club exclusi...

Taking things personalty do not change the fact the treasures series do not move enough units. Classic or not means nothing. King Kong took until 07 to come to DVD. African Queen just came out after hundreds of thousands of request for it. It's all about moving a ton of units, not what is considere...

Until Iger or any other former weatherman-turned-CEO actually CREATES something from scratch, much less builds a studio, the least he or she can do is to acknowledge that the studios they run weren't built in a day, nor were they built by Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers, as popular as they may ...

It is definitely a shame that there have been no new exclusive releases for months now but we have some doubledips that haven't even been promoted that heavily. I'm curious as to why Disney isn't making these exclusives available through the DMC, or if these releases - timed with the lack of DMC exc...

My third installment arrived today. It's Follow Me Boys. Like the replacement disc for "The Apple Dumpling Gang," the DVD label/print reflects the Signature Movie Edition line-up art. This one is my favorite booklet from the first three releases, with a lot of quotes from some of the actor...

Sunday, March 28th would be a great time to get out your Mickey Mouse Club Treasures DVD set and watch the nice featurette on the beloved grown-up Mouseketeer, Jimmie Dodd, who was born 100 years ago on March 28th, 1910. That DVD bonus feature captures the high regard that the younger Mouseketeers f...

I got my replacement disc, too. It was nice to see artwork for this series, but the disc appears to be a reissue of the Vault Disney version. With the passing of Fess Parker, I couldn't help but notice Bob Iger's statement that he enjoyed Davy Crockett as a kid and even had a coonskin hat. If he's s...

There were actually many featurettes or short films paired with the features, all the way through the early 1970s. In fact, some of the package films were dissected and you could find rereleases into the "modern" era; for example, "The Madcap Adventures of Mr. Toad" was a feature...

I'll see if I can find it and see what is says about the projection aspect ratio. My guess is that it was not widescreen. The 48-minute running time suggests that this was one that was filmed for either TV release or theatrical release and they liked it enough to put it out theatrically. There were ...

I have that pressbook, but for quick reference, I noted that Dave Smith has an entry in his Disney A to Z Encyclopedia. It was a 48-minute live-action featurette released in 1964. Disney could do a whole series of Treasures with live-action featurettes such as this one. There were many others, along...

My Swiss Family Robinson disc arrived yesterday. I must say that the tin is a vast improvement over the Treasures line and if that line continues, they should adapt the structure of these tins to that line. While I'm not a pin collector, the two pins that came with the set are very nice. There was ...
