Well, I own the SWatSD Platinum, legitimate, bought it earlier this year, and it's in okay condition, for about $13.00.

You would definitely have to say all the OOP Treasures sets are quite rare. Even the Used copies of some of those are way up in the $60-70 range at cheapest.

ive seen the original region 4 dvd release of the lion king go for over $150NZD second hand. i was lucky that a local chain store got a copy in by mistake [along with 1 each of aladdin and bambi] and i scored each single copy. pure luck, lol.
the original beauty and beast dvd has also fetched high prices, though its dropped since the re-release.

In terms of R1, generally the Treasures sets become rare once they sell out online and in stores. That's due to the limited print runs, even though some were in the 100,000s. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything from the past few waves on store shelves anymore (or for that matter, the first few waves), and will all likely fetch twice as much (at the least) online. For the longest time I was searching for "Chronological Donald, Volume 3" hoping I wouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg. Thankfully, an Aussie UDer had a spare copy and since he knew it'd be going to someone who'd appreciate it (and not re-sell it on e-bay for $150), he charged me simply the SRP + International Shipping, so I ended up only having to pay $55 US. The least I paid for a Treasures set (beyond getting a few free as either a gift or for review purposes) was $8 for Tomorrowland, in 2005. Granted, it was at the castmember-only store behind Magic Kingdom (Property Control) where the only "damage" it had was simply being unwrapped from its plastic. So that doesn't really count.

From the animated titles, once there's a re-release, the older release goes out of print and gradually gets harder to find in stores. And the Platinums of course. After they go OOP, prices go up a bit, cool down, go up a bit in anticipation of the re-release, and then go down when it's re-released. I could (and still can) find Snow White Platinum DVDss going for $30 or less once the Blu-Ray came out, but in the interim between 2002 and 2009, copies in stores were few and far between. And ever since Sleeping Beauty went out of print, I haven't seen its Blu-Ray anywhere (DVDs are still available at some movie stores), so that can be considered rare too.

There's also several live-action Disney titles that are OOP and have become rare. The live-action version of 101 Dalmatians used to be ultra-rare until it was re-released in 2008, but since it's been vaulted again, I'm sure it'll get rare again. In addition, the 1994 version of The Jungle Book hasn't been in print since 2005 or so, and I had hoped it would be re-released in 2007 with the animated version, but it wasn't. :( And for the few-and-far-between titles that got a double-dip or upgrade, the older version naturally goes out of print and becomes rare. E.g., you'll find plenty of Old Yeller Two-Movie Collections (with Savage Sam), but not the Vault Disney Collection version. And even when some former DisneyMovieClub exclusive DVDs get a general release, most B&M stores don't carry them anyway. I never saw The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men in stores after it got a general release this year.

In addition, there are plenty of Miramax and Touchstone titles that have gone out of print and can be considered rare. The recalled Special Edition of Ed Wood (Touchstone) for example, is a bit pricey. It has the transvestite featurette that was later excluded from the SE that was released, and IIRC, it has a grey spine instead of the black spine that the in-print one has. Or the other way around. And there are a variety of barebones Miramax titles that were released in the late 90s/early 00s that simply didn't get pressed anymore after a certain date, with whatever stock was left selling out (I recall plenty of store sales on Miramax titles in 05 & 06), making them rare on store shelves, but not online. Sometimes their secondhand market value sometimes gets high for people interested in acquiring certain titles, but they're generally cheap to pick up used online. I haven't found a copy of Marvin's Room in years and I'm too cheap myself to pay the less-than-$10 prices on Amazon Marketplace. With Disney selling Miramax and Weinstein Company eventually gaining the distribution rights again, we'll likely see some of them re-released again, but I doubt it.

Thanks for the in-depth response! Do you think that if DVD/Blu-ray are eventually phased out, collectors would still have any interest in DVDs or Blu-rays? Would values plummet the way they have with VHS?

I think as long as there is content that is exclusive to the format, that there will be a collector's demand for it. Using Disney as an example, there's supplemental content on laserdisc that still hasn't reached DVD, and some collectors still hold on to or search for those laserdiscs simply for them.

There's loads of material from the Exclusive Archive Collection LD for Saludos Amigos/The Three Caballeros that have not appeared on DVD, loads of material from the Deluxe CAV Laserdisc for The Hunchback of Notre Dame that was originally going to appear on a two-disc DVD (before Disney pulled the press release hours after releasing it, and then releasing a single-disc edition that only had the documentary, commentary, and multi-language reel), there's an exclusive audio commentary for 1983's Something Wicked This Way Comes that is not on either the Anchor Bay or Disney DVDs, and and documentaries created for most of the DAC laserdiscs have been replaced by new ones on DVD. And now with Blu-Ray, some of those documentaries are being replaced by new ones. The 1994 Deluxe CAV Laserdisc for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs had a documentary called "The Making of a Masterpiece", which was replaced with "Still the Fairest of Them All" for the 2001 Platinum Edition DVD, and that documentary was replaced by both the interactive "Hyperion Studios" feature and the short documentary "The One That Started It All" on the 2009 Blu-Ray.

Plus, some early Disney Blu-Rays don't contain extras that are found on DVD. Dinosaur only has a brief featurette and one commentary, while its two-disc DVD had two commentaries, a sound-effects track, branching featurettes from the film, and a whole extra disc of supplements.

I posted a list on UD in November 2009 that featured what supplements from DVDs were carried over to Blu-Ray, what wasn't, and what was Blu-Ray-exclusive back then. Most of the entries were for titles that had simultaneous DVD/Blu-Ray releases (e.g. Sleeping Beauty Platinum Edition). It'll have to be updated for the 2010 releases, but here it is:
  • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) has a whole bunch of new Blu-Ray featurettes and interactive features, and carries over approximately half of the material from the Platinum Edition. It would take too long to re-list all the material that's new, all that's carried over, and all that's not on the new release. Just hold on to both the Platinum Edition and the Diamond Edition if you want all the special features (you can skip out on the 2-disc DVD that's coming out on the 24th).

    Pinocchio (1940) retains all the Platinum DVD special features and adds the Cine-Explore and DisneyView options, Pinocchio Knows Trivia Challenge, and Pleasure Island Carnival Games.

    Sleeping Beauty (1959) retains all the Platinum DVD special features and adds the Cine-Explore option, "Dragon Encounter" interactive feature, "Maleficent's Challenge" game, and "The Sound of Beauty: Restoring a Classic" featurette. Several special features from the 2003 Special Edition DVD aren't carried over to either the Platinum DVD or Blu-Ray. These include the audio commentary hosted by Jeff Kurtti (a fair amount of the audio interviews it used are in the new commentary, but the old one was better, IMO), the 1998 making-of featurette, brief featurettes about music, design, backgrounds, the 1995 restoration, and a widescreen vs. p&s comparison, text stills, the 1951 outline, docent audio from the Virtual Galleries, and several sections of the galleries.

    Pixar Shorts Collection, Volume One (1984 to 2007) retains all its DVD special features.

    The Nightmare Before Christmas (1994) retains all the DVD special features from the new two-disc Collector's Edition, but doesn't include the old commentary from the previous Special Edition DVD (a new commentary was recorded). In addition, there are still some laserdisc featurettes that have not been carried over to DVD or Blu-Ray. There is also a Blu-Ray exclusive introduction by Tim Burton that lasts less than 30 seconds.

    A Bug's Life (1998 ) adds the "Filmmakers' Round Table" featurette, "A Bug's Life: the First Draft" as a featurette (it was a series of stills on the DVD), and the Silly Symphony "The Grasshopper and the Ants". However, it loses the recomposed Fullscreen version, the isolated music track, the isolated effects track, the featurette about the 1.33:1 reframing, and a montage of examples of the reframing.

    Dinosaur (2000) only carries over two things: audio Commentary with Eric Leighton, Ralph Zondag, Neil Krepela, Neil Eskuri and the 4-minute "The Monster Cloud" featurette. It adds the Blu-Scape short "Origins". Hold on to your DVD as there's also an additional commentary, an isolated score, branching featurettes when you watch the movie, and a whole second disc of featurettes, stills, deleted scenes, trailers, etc.

    Remember the Titans (2000) retains all its DVD special features except the theatrical trailer. Also, it only offers the Theatrical Cut, not the Director's Cut.

    Monsters, Inc. (2001) adds a new introduction by Pete Docter, a "Filmmakers' Round Table" featurette, a "Monsters, Inc. Ride and Go Seek: Building Monstropolis in Japan" featurette, a "Maximize Your Home Theater" feature, and Roz's 100 Door Challenge. It includes most everything from the 2002 DVD except for the 1.33:1 version of the film, the isolated effects track, the "Production Tour" featurette (a combination of five DVD featurettes with transitional elements), the "Step Through" feature, the "Binaural" featuette, the teaser trailer, the "Welcome to Monstropolis" virtual storybook, several easter eggs, "Peek-A-Boo: Boo's Door Game", and the DVD-ROM game "The Lunch Room".

    The Rookie (2002) retains all its DVD special features.

    The Haunted Mansion (2003) retains only the two commentaries, "Anatomy of a Scene" and "The History of The Haunted Mansion Attraction". It does not include "The Haunted Mansion: Secrets Revealed", the virtual ride, deleted scene, outtakes, music video, or DVD-ROM features. It also includes the Blu-Scape short "Grave Spirits".

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) retains all its DVD special features (including The Lost Disc) and adds a "Scoundrels of the Sea" interactive feature.

    Miracle (2004) retains all its DVD special features.

    National Treasure (2004) retains all its DVD special features and adds a commentary with director Jon Turteltaub and actor Justin Bartha, and a "Mission History: Inside the Declaration of Independence" interactive game.

    Chicken Little (2005) retains all its DVD special features and adds an audio commentary with director Mark Dindal, producer Randy Fullmer, and visual effects supervisor Steve Goldberg, an Interactive Filmmaker Q&A, four additional deleted scenes (the DVD offered 3 alternate openings and a deleted scene).

    The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) retains all its DVD special features from the two-disc version only. The Extended Edition of the film is not included, nor is anything from Discs 3 and 4 of the four-disc set. It does add a "Battle for Narnia" interactive game.

    The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) retains all its DVD special features.

    Cars (2006) retains all its DVD special features and adds two commentaries, Cine-Explore documenetary shorts, an additional deleted scene, and a Carfinder game.

    Sky High (2005) loses the Alternate Opening and easter eggs, but keeps its two featurettes ("Welcome to Sky High" and "Breaking Down the Walls".

    Eight Below (2006) retains only the audio commentary, does not include the deleted scenes or featurette on the DVD. Includes the Blu-Scape short "Ice".

    Glory Road (2006) retains only the two commentaries and "Surviving Practice" featurette, does not include the deleted scenes or two featurettes.

    Roving Mars (2006) retains all its DVD special features.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) retains all its DVD special features and adds a "Liar's Dice" Interactive Game.

    Invincible (2006) retains all its DVD special features and adds a featurette, "Recreating the Vet".

    Bridge to Terabithia (2007) doesn't include two audio commentaries on the DVD, but retains the two featurettes and music video.

Probably not. The only reason values for VHS plummeted was because the format had little to offer beyond the movie, and generally the only VHS's that are still valuable are for movies that still have not yet been issued on DVD (and in some cases, never had a laserdisc). For example, I'm fairly certain there are several silent Cecil B. DeMille films that still languish on VHS (and were never on laserdisc) and have not received a DVD treatment yet.

Thanks again!

Would you consider the Aladdin Platinum Edition collectors set to be rare? I guess sets like that would add some value, like the new Snow White set?

I must say, that's a great list, really, but I have to bring to light a few mistakes.
Sleeping Beauty (1959) retains all the Platinum DVD special features and adds the Cine-Explore option, "Dragon Encounter" interactive feature
It's actually a non-interactive animation meant to show off the power of HD 7.1 Audio. And even then, it just ends up being loud.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Fixed
The Shaggy Dog (2006)
Did this even get a blu-ray release?
Ratatouille (2007) retains all its DVD special features and adds "Gusteau's Gourmet Game", "The Will" featurette, "Remembering Dan Lee" featurette, and Cine-Explore, which features 13 animation briefings, 10 documentary shorts, and 5 deleted shots.
This may be unnecessary, but I suppose you should mention that Cine-Explore has a Commentary.

I'm not sure about the exclusion of commentaries on Bridge to Terabithia.[/quote]

I wrote it over a year ago and it's not as thorough as the lists I keep on my computer. There's bound to have been a few mistakes that were simple typos or descriptive errors, especially as I had not begun buying/using Blu-Ray until September 2010. Regarding Ratatouille, it's generally understood that Disney's "Cine-Explore" is just a dressed-up picture version of the commentary, so I saw no need to say it was. Especially since I mention "Cine-Explore" in six other titles on the list, and apparently those were understood to be commentaries as well since you didn't mention them. Regarding Bridge to Terabithia, it was a harmless mistake on my part as the back of the case didn't mention commentaries and I didn't check any Blu-Ray reviews to confirm it, since I assumed it'd be like other early live-action Disney Blu-Rays that only had some of the features ported over.
