I think the original poster remarked that he/she has this video on VHS. I had it too and remembered that it came with Morris the Midget Moose. I agree that I really enjoyed that short almost as much as The Reluctant Dragon. For those who don't know, the VHS version of the Reluctant Dragon only inclu...

I enjoyed this movie, but I'd agree with others that this isn't the greatest Disney movie ever. I watched it recently also and really enjoyed the comedy. I'm not a big fan of burping humor, though. One part that made me really laugh was when Slim kept slipping on his disguise and his nephews would f...

I have never really been under the impression that the Disney company left the classic films voluntarily. Afterall after the HUGE success in The Lion King things started to go downhill. In 1995 (the year after The Lion King came out) Toy Story and Pocahontas were released. This was the begining of ...

Has Disney become Jaded?

I'm sure we can all here agree that Disney has a fine history of creating heartwarming family entertainment that's been sincere in it's classical storytelling. I just read a post on this forum that referenced Beauty and the Beast and how great of a movie it was, and it made me wonder what happened t...

I have the original release of the Aladdin Soundtrack that includes the line in the opening song, "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face/ It's barbaric, but hey, it's home!" Of course we all know that was changed to the more palatable, "Where it's flat and immense a...

Ok, so here's a question for everyone who likes this movie. I only saw it once in the theater when it first came out, which was what? the early 80s? Anyway, I've never watched it again and I remember not being all that thrilled with it at the time. I would have been in my early teens too. What I wan...

I have this DVD and we watch it every year around Halloween, but I agree with everyone that it is just a basic, no frills DVD release. It is in the original aspect ratio, which is good, but that's about it. I'm sure there's a lot they could do to enhance the release, but I don't know if the movie wa...

Well, i was a big fan of the Muppets when I was a kid. The last Muppet movie that I really loved was The Muppet Christmas Carol. I still watch that one often. I enjoyed Muppets From Space, but it had enough of the innuendo and stuff that annoys me enough about the Muppets for it not to become a favo...

Ok, here's my list: 1. The Incredibles - the Best! Exciting, Funny, and it moved me personally. 2. Finding Nemo - Neck and neck with Incredibles. I didn't associate as closely with it as I did Incredibles. 3. Wall-E - Very good and charming but I was distracted by the live action humans in it. I act...

I like most all of them, but there are two that I have a really hard time paying attention to. They are: The Rescuers and The Aristocats. I think they both came out of the same era and were probably the wake-up call that Disney needed to get them on the road to their rebirth that took place in the f...

I, for one, am very excited about the prospects of what a Pixar influence will do for Disney. I recently heard a recording where Milt Kahl said that one of the problems with Disney (this was back in the 70s) was that "Walt had to go and die." Meaning that all of his heart and inspiration w...

ok, this seems to be the most reasonable place to post this question, so here goes: What is the purpose of the slip cases?

Lazario, you have a good point. I have to say I agree. I have heard that any new player for hi def or blue ray will also play older DVDs.

Before listening to the Beauty and the Beast commentary, I didn't know how involved in the creation of the movie Howard Ashman was, I thought he was just the lyricist.
