Re: Would Pixar have been as successful without Disney?

From a financial standpoint, there is no way they would have been around if it weren't for Disney. And the Disney marketing machine also was a great help to them. But if it hadn't been Disney, some company would have needed to help them financially to make their first few movies. What they definitel...

Will the Disney+ Service mean no more DVD/Blu Rays for you

If you have or are planning on subscribing to the Disney+ service, will that mean the end of buying their movies on DVD's and Blu Ray for you? I myself am on the fence about it. With there already being examples of them editing out things like the crows in Dumbo, it's nice to know I have that movie ...

Re: Celebrating Mickey on Blu-ray 10/23

Sounds promising. I only hope that they stay away from the new shorts that have aired on the Disney Channel, Get a Horse and some of the other Mickey material already released on Blu Ray and stick with the classic Mickey shorts from Walt's era. If they do that and it sells well, maybe Disney might b...

Re: The Legacy Collection

I've received damaged lithographs from them in the past and they were happy to send a replacement. I didn't even have to send the damaged one back! I just got through listening to "Beauty and the Beast" and I found it to be another great volume of The Legacy Collection. I hope there are mo...

Re: What's next after Signature Collection?

If I were working for Disney's home video department, I would recommend leaving the Signature Editions in print until the physical format dies. And while a lot of people would be happy to have the movies in 4K on the streaming service, I think there would be a market to release the movies on 4K disc...

Re: Lasseter Sexually Assaulted Women

I have the utmost respect for the creativity that John Lasseter has displayed over the years. But, if even some of this is true, which it's looking like it is, his six-month vacation needs to become a permanent one. Whether it's the entertainment industry, politics, or any other business type, peopl...

I think the track I've been playing most often is "Phony King of England." Who knew a Disney song could be relevant in modern day U.S. A pox on the phony 'king,' indeed. :wink: Oh yes! Especially these lyrics: "He stands alone on a giant throne pretending he's the king, A little tyke...

Re: Beauty and the Beast: 25th Anniversary

Am I correct in assuming that between the new Blu Ray release and the Digital Edition to see the WIP version is going to be with the P...

Re: "Robin Hood" (1973) soundtrack?

There was an LP released around the time the movie came out containing the story. That album included the songs from the film. But there's never been a dedicated soundtrack release with the songs and score. Besides "Robin Hood," I don't believe there has ever been a soundtrack release for ...

Re: The Disney Movie Rewards Discussion & Info Thread Vol. 4

Has anyone ever redeemed a reward where they've asked for verification? If so, what do they look for to confirm that you have the codes and/or movies that they want you to confirm? I haven't had anything I've really wanted to cash any points in for and realize that I'm not that far off from having e...

Re: The Silly Symphony Collection

And it'd be great to find out who I could contact at Disney to let them know that this company is dragging down what could be a great...

Re: The Silly Symphony Collection

I finally got my copy of the set and, after reading the card that has the download codes, can tell you that unfortunately, the downloads are only good for the USA, according to the card. On top of that, the site to download the digital copies of the albums isn't the best. Each volume has a code and ...

Re: “Descendants” Disney Channel movie to star Disney Villai

I will say that for the direction they went with the movie, a light-hearted musical, I thought it was ok and the acting choices they made for it were very good. My biggest issue with the movie was that I felt it could have been so much more if it hadn't been a DCOM. Imagine if this had been planned ...
