I have Fun and Fancy Free and Ichabod and mr. Toad and these disks do have several extras. Why are they not good enough?

Pocahontas- waiting for Dutch 2 disc, like the US got

The UK also has a 2-disk edition of Pocahontas, why don't you get that one? Because it doens't have Dutch dubbing?

Disney's 1 disc DVDs are usually very poor, that's why I'm holding off buying them. Unless a 'Special edition' comes along, which we know will be still a 1 disc, but that then will be the best we'll ever going to get. So I'm waiting for that.

BelleGirl wrote:The UK also has a 2-disk edition of Pocahontas, why don't you get that one? Because it doens't have Dutch dubbing?

No, because I dislike purchasing online, high shipping costs and don't own a credit card to pay for it.

Yes, I know that's a problem if you don't have a credit card, but than there's always the possibility to aks someone else who has one to buy a DVd for you and that you pay him back later.

During the 90's, when there were no DVD's yet, I used to buy Disney Videos imported from England- because the Dutch ones were mostly only available with Dutch dubbing.
I'm afraid though that a 2 disk benelux edition of Pocahontas or Alice in Wonderland will not come out anytime soon, nor will they be imported from England.
You cannot buy many 'Disney Treasures' here either. European Disney fans, and in particular the Dutch, seem to come off rather badly.
Oh, and than you also have those damn region codes!

I have everything except:

Saludos Amigos: I would get it, but they cut out footage of Goofy smoking. When Disney gets over themselves on this issue, I'll get the movie.

Chicken Little: I just don't think I'd enjoy it. There's something very off-putting about this movie, from what I've seen.

I pretty much own every other feature-length film. I'm waiting to upgrade some (but not all) of them to Blu-Ray as they come out. I do have Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio (and Robinsons & Bolt). Is that all? Sheesh--seems like it will take forever to get the rest on BR. Why didn't they do Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, the Fox & the Hound and Lilo & Stitch on BR during their recent re-releases????? Why the missed opportunities, seeing as how Disney was so hellbent on getting everyone to upgrade to BR in the first place? By this point, we could have like 6-8 Disney classics on BR, instead of just TWO.

Here's a list of flicks that I would eventually upgrade to on BluRay. The rest? Eh. The ones missing from the list below are films I frankly don't enjoy all that much. Not everything can be "Beauty & the Beast" after all.

Snow White (coming this year. But none of the others below are coming on BR this year??? Why?)
Fantasia
Dumbo
Bambi
Saludos Amigos
The Three Caballeros
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad
Fun and Fancy Free
Cinderella
Alice in Wonderland
Peter Pan
Lady and the Tramp
101 Dalmatians
The Sword in the Stone
The Jungle Book
The Aristocats
Robin Hood
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The Rescuers
The Little Mermaid
The Rescuers Down Under (Maybe; if it's in a set with the first movie)
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Lion King
Pocahontas
Hercules (Maybe; if I'm rich when it comes out on BR)
Mulan
Tarzan
Fantasia 2000
Lilo & Stitch
Home on the Range (Maybe)

Ones I don't own because I'm waiting for a new/better release (announced or not):

The Rescuers
Rescuers Down Under
Hercules
Hunchback of Notre Dame
Fantasia/2000- Waiting for Platinum
Home on the Range
Treasure Planet
Atlantis
The Great Mouse Detective
The Black Cauldron- Going to get the new special edition


Ones I just haven't bought yet:

Oliver & Company (Which I'll probably buy either today or tomorrow)
Brother Bear (I really need to get on this, I haven't even seen the movie)
Saludos Amigos / Three Caballeros


Disney/Pixar:

Wall-E- Just haven't gotten around to buying it yet, but I will.
Cars- My least favorite Pixar film. I'll buy it eventually just for my collection.


And once I have everything above, my Disney collection will be complete

I was shocked today, though, to discover how many Treasures you can get in Germany though! Went into Saturn (multimedia shop), where I saw three volumes of Donald out, AND Oswald.

And they were region 2 code? I should have a look at the German Amazon-online shop then! Weird, they do not have it in amazon.co.uk, It's all US import.

OK. Let's see. How do I put this? Ah, I know. NONE

Ah. Reyquila. I recall you from a few years back. You used to show off by bragging about your purchases, and you would perpetually demean others as being impoverished simply because they wouldn't shell out $20 for a new copy of "Fox and the Hound" or whatever. I still don't understand your logic. Are you saying that because you spend money that you are better than others? I believe that a man's worth is not judged by how much money he spends, but on the goodwill that he passes on to others. Just my philosophy.

I'm not being judgmental, I'm just trying to understand your viewpoint.

Yeah, it's Region 2.

Also worth noting is that Donald Volume 2 (of course, since Volume 3 is out) and Pluto Volume 1 are also available in Germany:

No one really understands Reyquila's logic... people who equate those who do not purchase with "haters" make no sense to me. Maybe he's just an example of consumerism run amok.

I know...just because I don't buy certain Disney movies doesn't mean I hate them. Nobody can like every single film. I like most of them, but Disney isn't perfect. Their brilliant animated films are just that; and the rest are just okay. None of them are bad films. And I would have nothing to prove by boasting about my purchasing habits. I do have all the animated films except for the two posted above; but it's not because I'm rich or a show-off.

Emperors New Groove - Have on VHS, missed first time around

I just took Zack's list and siphoned out the movies I do own. These are the ones I don't have, but the reasons for not having them aren't mine. I'm too lazy to do any more editing, and I also don't have the DTV sequels of any of these movies.

There's no DAC that I would avoid, so I'll be trying to collect them all.

- Home on the Range

Films that I don't care about:
