dvdjunkie, your statement about collectors vs. likers hardly holds any ground. Most of the people responding to this thread are under 30, they obviously do not have the same size
budget you would have to buy DVDs. Just because they choose not to or can't afford to buy every single Disney DVD you find worth collecting does not make them a "Disney Liker". It's like with Star Wars...you can be a die-hard fanatic and dress up like a Jedi on your way to work, or you can be one of those average run-of-the-mill peeps who enjoys watching the movies. You don't need to be a FANATIC to be a fan.

What exactly is a "true" collector then? Perhaps they go by a "quality over quantity" method. I don't need to have 500 DVDs to be considered a collector. I buy what I like, the quality of the movie itself, not whether or not I have enough to be able to brag "Look at the size of my...DVD collection!"

Yes, it was edited for VHS, but the DVD version is the complete theatrical version. Make Mine Music is actually an extended version on DVD and there are no edits. There are additions, yes, but no edits.
I don't know what versions of Melody Time and Make Mine Music you have, but the R1 version of Melody Time is edited...
From UD's own review, the first is an R1 screencap, and second is the unedited R2 screencap.
And perhaps you think MMM is "extended" because you haven't seen Martins and the Coys and saw it for the first time on the DVD?

Do you even bother reading any reviews on this site? Better version does not necessarily mean "remake". Disney's Gold Collection was a little-more-than-barebones with passable audio/video quality. I'd think a "collector" like you would want to have the highest quality in audio, video, and supplements for DVDs. If people here are passing on mediocre releases hoping for better versions, then let them. Lord knows how long I'll be waiting for two-disc versions of Robin Hood and The Black Cauldron, two of my favorite DAC's.
Anyway...DAC's I deliberately not own...well, I can't deliberately not own anything can I? Cause to own something would mean to have it, and to deliberately not own it would mean to not have it, and since there are many I don't own yet, I deliberately don't own any not in my DVD list in my siggy.

You really have nothing to be sorry about. You weren't insulting him, just stating you didn't like those kind of cartoons. Only Disney has a right to be offended and they don't care.
