It took you the past two weeks to write it!

No, my good sir, with all due respect, I'm first on the Go-Away Wish List here...get in line!

Is that using the same DVD player with both TV sets? Yup...the slight tilt is seen on the CRT TV (vs. Flat Screen LCD) with both DVD players running Disc 2 of More SS. There's also a slight difference (sharper picture/brighter color) between a plain vanilla DVD player and a Progressive scan player ...

Now he won't go back to his homework! Aaaargh! :D Inculcating him with rare Disney goodness is far more important than his scholastic career. Priorities, man, priorities! Is that using the same DVD player with both TV sets? Your Disney vs. scholastic is a point well taken. In fact, I tossed the boo...

Well, my TV isn't THAT old (December 2004), and it's a 32" Sony Flat Screen CRT HD monitor. S of a B!...I've got good news and I've got bad news. On my Sony WEGA flat-panel 23" LCD from 2005...The Pied Piper is fine, as are the rest of Disc 2. That's the good news. The bad news is...on my...

But the "key signs" I would look for would be this dead giveaway: http://mafodda.com/ud/piper.jpg Not only does the picture not look straight, but you can see excess black in the upper right corner. Did you try my matchbook-under-the-right-leg solution??:? Seriously, I'm going to take the...

No, let's assume your TV system is PAL and we're talking about NTSC here in the States.
And we Yanks admit that PAL TVs have better picture quality.

Hi I tried to search for the email adress to Disney costumer service. Regarding replecement discs for more Silly symphonies. but i couldn't find it. Does anybody have it. I'ts easier for me to send e-mail then to call. Thank you You'll get better service on the phone (oops! not from Sweden)...thoug...

...it's a misunderstanding of how television works. Oh my my, everyone knows TV is a magic box where everything you see is inside...only really teeny tiny...and you're looking through a special window that makes it all SEEM bigger. MM, try sliding a matchbook or two under the leg of the table that ...

Thanks MM for the good info in both places. We always enjoy the Steamboat Boogie!

I’m not sure how to do that quote thing that everyone does but my reply is in response to various posts since I last posted.) There's a "quote" button on the right side of the frame. You hit that and a reply window opens up. You can then scroll down past the reply frame and the last sever...

2039 isn't that far away! I'm not sure what 32 years from now signifies? Copyright expiration? Don't hold your breath on Di$ney being that careless. No matter, Al Gore says Oklahoma will be beachfront property before then from Global Warming. Seriously... I Googled Song of the South and saw a coupl...

Well, not so much trouble as risk. We get other people's mail all the time. There's a chance I could end up losing my Silly Symphonies disc here! Amen! Mail is no better here on the East Coast. Warner Home Video sends you postage-paid envelopes and you send them your originals first...on a wing and...

Does anybody know if Disney faced much controversy when they released their last VHS version? Or have they never done that either in the US? No VHS or Laserdisc in the US. For the 40th Anniversary (1986-1987), it was released in theaters in certain parts of the country. It was readily available as ...

I think all the sensitivity is aimed at not offending minorities . If a middle-class Christian white person is offended...they're chastised at not being more open-minded... Amen to all that. :thumb: There are groups and individuals who are making a living at "being offended" and just wait...

I called BVHV yesterday regarding the Silly Symphony glitch and I also asked about the fate of the Treasures line and expected to get the response that I've seen here that others received from the BVHV reps but I didn't. The rep placed me on hold and came back telling me that the decision hasn't be...

And...Disney owns The View, so they're luvin' it.

The Disney Treasures site discusses the omitted recreated titles, but does not mention the wrong masters* used on a few cartoons and the "lost' footage* found for The Night Before Christmas. I would presume all will be corrected on the replacement discs. The few masters and "lost" foo...

I heard today she said that Snickers should be sued over their Super Bowel commercial because it will cause violence against gays. Then she showed the ad. I thought it was a dumb commercial but I don't see how that will cause violence against gays. Snickers pulled the ad later today. I luv ya' Uncl...

I imagine they are surely thrilled to see this thread degenerate into name-calling about an unrelated subject. It's safe to say that no one at Disney, who has the final word on the Treasures, is reading this thread in order to decide about their future. Safer still, no one at Disney is hoping to se...

Wow! UncleEd...tell your pseudo-intellectual brother you've just posted 20% of your Masters' thesis...
and tell him to put it in his pipe and smoke it!

Good post; thoughtful.
