Re: Will Disney Ever Recover?

Is it possible for Disney to come out of grave they dug themselves in or will they continue failing and possibly end up being forced to shut down their animation department (I highly doubt that it will happen since Disney is too big to fail, but considering they shut down the 2d department cause th...

Re: The Black Cauldron

At this point it's more hearsay than anything else, but I remember back in 2010 when The Black Cauldron came out in its 25th Anniversary Edition DVD, Les Perkins (the disc producer) either tweeted or made a Facebook status that clarified while he had access to the Animation Research Library to put t...

Re: Beauty and the Beast Discussion

I don't know how I've ended up with as many copies of B&tB as I have since it's more in the #12-15 range for me as far as DACs. I don't regret it though, since the film is a masterpiece after all, I just think it's sort of funny it almost competes with TLM for how many copies I have. And it was...

Re: Is Disney's Revival Era Over?

I remember a lot of the online discourse on this very forum twenty years ago when it was widely accepted that the Disney Renaissance was over with Tarzan and we were in a new age that clearly was not living up to its predecessor. Folks were calling it a second dark age because all we had to compare ...

Re: Beauty and the Beast Discussion

Meanwhile, I was thinking, do you guys think that maybe Disney will do another restoration for Beauty and the Beast as they did with Cinderella? Give it the proper presentation it deserves. Do one for the original theatrical version, keep it the same as in 1991, no changes. They already did back in...

Re: How Do You Organise your Animation/Live Action DVD and Blu-ray Collection?

I think it would be fun to talk a bit more about physical media, even if it is now a niche, and what better way than to broadcast our OCDs?

Ironically, since the launch of Disney+ I have been expanding my Disney home media collection. My DVD collection is pretty much complete, although there may be a few live-action titles that have yet to join because they're low-priority DMC exclusives. Blu-Ray is really where I'm focusing, again with...
