My family's too poor, we'll never own them all.
But I hope to achieve owning the greats via DVD someday.

Disneygirl - I got the Bambi and Cinderella two years ago when I thought it would be two long a wait. Now that we are only six and thirteen months away, I wouldnt buy the cheap knockoffs. Especially Bambi, way too close now.

Me too, found all of them except Little Mermaid at a local retailer just as they were getting scarce. Lucked out buying Little Mermaid off a small rental place

For the most part I have all the Disney animated movies I want/like. I even have some just because of special reasons.

Besides from the Platinum Editions I'm missing:

Robin Hood
The Rescuers
The Rescuers Down Under
Mulan SE
And in a lesser way, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Not because I can't find them but because I don't have the $$$.



And waiting for an upgrade to:

Pocahontas
* A Bug's Life

I'm not one to boast, but when it comes to Collection bragging? Staaaaaaaaaaaaand back! :wink:

I own a complete collection of all of the 44 Disney Animated Classics.

I have the DVD's of everything that's been released so far and own the VHS copies of Bambi, Cinderella and Aladdin.

Back in the "early days" I vowed that as soon as Disney brought out ANY of their animated classics on DVD would be when I bought a DVD player and true enough, Pinocchio was the first DVD that I bought, and the first DVD that I watched.

Those first years were GREAT! Every month you'd be able to get one, two or three of the Gold Collection Disney classics on DVD - not that things are SO different now, after all, I still pick up a few Disney movies every month, but now I kinda pick and choose from the back catalog live action releases. And at such a low, low, low price I'm willing to take a chance every now and then. (Thank you, Costco!)

I have a complete collection of the Pixar films, the Treasuries, and the Vault Disney discs (even the 'unofficial' Vault titles).

I like having a complete collection of the Classics, even if, truth be told, I only watch movies like The Black Cauldron and The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh once every few years.
However, for those of you who don't like the 'package features' (Make Mine Music, Fun And Fancy Free, Melody Time, and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad), I watch them enough to make up for all those who have never seen them/don't like them! :D


If you're interested you can check out the link to look at my ENTIRE collection below ...............
Sleepy, Sneezy, Savage Sam, Snow White and the rest
Join the fun, come Be Our Guest!
Just ask Pocahontas, Perdita, and Pooh
It's a Supercalifragilistic hullabaloo!

I'm missing quite a lot (on dvd), but I've no intention to buy everything just for the sake of collecting. As long as the VHS tapes are watchable... On the other hand, if money wasn't an issue I would probably get the best possible editions and even multiple releases of each classic. At the moment, though, as a starving student, collecting the films that I truly like is enough for me. I guess. :?

Is there a rule that a sequel cannot be labeled as an animated classic? I think that any in-house animated feature that makes it to theaters should fall into that category. It saddens me that The Tigger Movie is not included, even though it's more like a new story set in the same world.

Brandon - animated classic is a label Disney puts on a movie and I believe means the movie animation unit produced the movie as opposed to the television unit which produced the Tigger movie. And yes a sequel can be an animated classic as both the Rescuers Down Under and Fantasia 2000 are considered animated classics.

Here's a link to all of the animated features that I've got thus far; I only have about half of the 44 on DVD. I have all of the original VHS releases of the 1st through 40th animated features - I stopped at Atlantis 'cause I started in on the DVDs at that point - and 'cause 40's a nice even number. ;)

Though I got a few when they were first released on VHS, I do not own a single cheapquel on DVD, thank you very much. Neither do I have any bootlegs or foreign releases. I have a complete PIXAR collection, and a couple other Disney-relevents here and there (i.e. DINOSAUR and the Miyazaki films). I'm with Luke and several others on the buying factor - I don't get any ol' Disney DVD just for collector's sake. Since several of the DVDs aren't nice enough to warrant a DVD purchase, I'll just pop in the VHS for the film if I want to watch it. With DVDs, I'll wait for a cheapie or a nice re-release... like I'm stoked about the Mulan SE coming out! I'm so stubborn about not getting single-disc "standard" releases, in fact, that I never got Lilo & Stitch when it first came out... I'm still doggedly waiting for the 2-discer. :P

Anyhoo, I obviously don't have Bambi, Cinderella, or Aladdin yet. Of the titles available on DVD in some form, I don't have -

~Pinocchio*
~Saludos Amigos
~The Three Caballeros
~Make Mine Music
~Fun and Fancy Free
~Melody Time
~The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
~Peter Pan*
~Lady and the Tramp*
~101 Dalmatians*
~The Jungle Book*
~The Aristocats
~The Black Cauldron
~The Little Mermaid*
~Pocahontas*
~Hercules
~Mulan*
~Lilo & Stitch*
~Home on the Range*


* = I'll be getting these soon. I'm just waiting for Platinum/Special Editions, for most of them. ;)

After making an inventory of my Disney films I realised that the situation isn't as hopeless as I first thought. If all the different media are combined I have 33 of the 44 classics. 12 of those are on dvd and 26 on vhs.

And I seem to be quite the collector after all: the dvds that I've bought so far are not all favourites but actually some that I haven't had in any form before. Fun and Fancy Free, AristoCats and Robin Hood, for example, are hardly my all time favourites, but the collector in me wanted to get them as parts of the whole. The ultimate goal is, however, to update the vhs tapes of the most prreciouss films to dvds as soon as the 2-disc versions become available.

I'm still missing almost half of the classics. But I think I have got a pretty nice collection as I started to collect classics this spring. :)

I'm missing a ton on DVD and in fact only have a few. I had more on VHS but I sold most of them and never got the DVDs in time before they went back into the vault. :( I will always regret the mistake of selling them before purchasing them on DVD and in fact selling them at all even if they are VHS.
