I decided to go for the Cinderella digibook, and I have to say I really like the illustrations and the printing quality. However, I would have preferred sketches or storyboards or even some correspondence material instead of the storybook. I would never let a child, let alone my nephew, near my digi...

I've found that with Amazon, it never hurts just to drop an email and explain the situation. You don't even have to demand your money back, just mention the problem you have and if they don't either offer you a replacement or refund, simply reply and request a refund. As it is a low priced product t...

Great idea to have the Disney Research Library do some work for a digibook collection. I agree with the cover art on Cinderella being awful. It has always annoyed me how they use the cover art to 'dumb down' the films in order to sell them to parents. I'm also getting a bit fed up of those glossy, s...

First I was going to write a post about how I would love to see the Disney Treasures released on Blu-Ray in one of those double steelbooks (No separate tins, please!). That would still be a dream come true. But then I ordered the Cinderella Digibook... and now I'm addicted. Who else would want to s...

I feel the platinum/diamond line has been a joke from the release of Lion King on DVD in 2003. The menus on disc 2 were great looking, but the content wasn't really much. I just never understood the selection of the pics. That said, the line has made available some pretty impressive restorations of ...

And that's the whole point. There are several strategies for making money. Blaming traditional animation for the move to CGI rather than a lack of creativity and solid storytelling will make money. Instead of adressing the real problem, the studio can just change the appearance - or medium or packa...

I know your compliment wasn't directed at me, but I'm just going to ignore that and say thanks anyway

Anyway, the point is Disney is focused on money. That's their main priority like I said earlier. However, if they believe a film will make money, that means they believe the film will be generally liked or hold enough interest by their target audience. The fact that people don't like recognizing th...

Why can't they do an experimental film that is more minimalist in its art style. Just a film that focus on story, everyday life and characters. A simpler art style could take less resources. Think Out neighbors the Yamadas? Minimalism can be very challenging, so it won't be totally cost-free, but it...

Wow, I forgot that I actually wished upon a star for a Discworld adaptation. Since then it's been announced and cancelled.

So basically the best way to make money is to make bad decisions? What makes people decide that a movie it worth watching? The studios keep cancelling projects because they think it's too controversial or not cool or trendy enough. To a certain degree I think a movie's success is based on the studio...

with the new version of Movie Collector, you can add embedded youtube-trailers for the movie info version. Now I keep watching the trailers instead of the films

Too bad. I usually prefer their films over Musker and Clement's films

I always found it funny how non-Disney studios would make animated movies based on the same stories as Disney, and release them almost at the same time so that parents would buy the wrong version and their kids would cry their tears out. Burbank Films Australia was notorious for this strategy, but t...

I think it's a tragedy that Mort was cancelled. I think the only way for Disney to stop repeating themselves is to take the chance on darker material, even if they have to do it under the Touchstone banner, and then re-release it as Disney when it's become a cult phenomenon. I really wish Disney wou...

I talk down to the movie; not the people. And the movie richly deserves it. No, it does not. And you know what? I've had it with you and your talk, acting like your opinions are fact. News flash: You can't MAKE your opinions FACT!! Aren't you doing exactly the thing you are criticizin Goliath of do...

On a tangent, I'd always wanted Disney to do anarchic Mario Kart style games (racing, tennis, soccer, mini games etc) featuring an ensemble of well-known Disney characters (the main characters from the Mickey Mouse universe, plus a few characters from the features), with themed sets based on Disney...

my own dreams (game worlds) 1. I enjoy a good video game now and then, but one of the universes that has really stuck with me is the Fallout universe. The whole idea of a post-apocalyptic world and fallout vaults hiding dark experiments, the 50s propaganda posters etc - I just love how detailed the ...

Ok, I don't know if there's a recent thread related to this on the forums, but I just wanted to start a discussion about your Disney dream project? It could of course be a non-Disney effort as well I would like to suggest that the discussion would be limited to animation projects (hand-drawn/stop-mo...

If Disney ever decide to do Walt Disney Treasures on Blu-ray I'd rather see them do away with the tins and make beautiful, double steelbooks as well. I like the double keepcases for the Treasures line and the overall design layout (I loved the small image frames - the region 2 ones were too big), bu...
