Shrek 2 came with side snaps, but mine didn't again. I guess we're just not worried about shoplifters up here in Canada


Canada vs. U.S. on security/safety.
i bet Canada is safer.

actually, I know...because i have relatives up there.
yea, well, the Wal-marts are soooo oooollllddd, ALL their Disney dvds have side snaps.

i swear, i can't stand being there at midnight just to get the release early!

Lady And The Tramp - Quite fond of this movie. Being my first movie on VHS, this will always have a special place in my heart!
Pinocchio - I'm not a big fan of the movie, but I really love the song "When You Wish Upon A Star"!
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame - One of my top 10! Quite touching, and if it weren't for the "Guy Like You" song, it would be near perfect in my opinion!
The Jungle Book - Don't like this at all, and I have no idea why!
Haven't seen:
The Three Caballeros
Fun And Fancy Free

Hunchback of Notre Dame: I did not like this movie at all! Boring, and slow paced. There is only one part worth watching, and that's the song "Hellfire", which is simply an amazing song.

state the ones you haven't seen and maybe we can help you out too

Well, I think that a diehard Disney fan should watch all of the animated features at least once, but I'll give my opinion on these films anyhoo:
Fun and Fancy Free
I've not seen this properly, but I do seem to remember the
Mickey and the Beanstalk part of the film as a kid and that was nice.
Lady and the Tramp
I'd probably put off watching this until the platinum comes out next year, but it'll be well worth the wait as this is great.
Melody Time
Apart from a few sections, this didn't really interest me but is worth a watch as a piece of historical interest.
Pinocchio
This is pure magic. It's a bit dark at times, but it's definetely one of the best films ever made.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Good, but not great. Some parts are creaky (the Gargoyles are annoying), yet there are times when it really soars (the Hellfire sequence). Not one of Disney's best but most certainly worth a watch.
The Jungle Book
I've always considered this overrated to a certain degree (some people call it Walt Disney's Crowning Achievement, which I disagree with), but it's enjoyable.
The Three Caballeros
It's a bit weird in places, but is quite enjoyable. Well worth a watch.[/b]

Thanks!
In order:

-Saludos Amigos
-Make Mine Music
-Fun and Fancy Free
-Melody Time
-Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad
-The Sword in the Stone
-The Black Cauldron
-The Great Mouse Detective
-Fantasia 2000
-Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Of the ones that I've seen...
Fantasia
Simply a masterpiece! Go and see, you dope!
Melody Time
See what I wrote to Dan05.
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad
This is the best of the package features that I have seen (then again, I've not seen all of them, but so far it's my fave).
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow section is the highlight, though
Wind in the Willows also has much to offer.
The Sword in the Stone
This movie is very episodic and the mini stories seem a bit random as they hardly have anything to do with the actual pulling of the sword from the stone (sorry to spoil the plot) and seem disjointed. It's entertaining, but not one of Disney's best.
The Black Cauldron
This isn't wonderful, although it's by no means the clunker people say it is. The animation/art direction is superb and is worth watching once or twice for that alone.
The Great Mouse Detective
I don't remember much about this apart from it bothering me a lot as a little kid, as it contains some creepy scenes such as the villain feeding some mouse who annoys him to a cat (:huh:). I'm thinking about revisiting it, but I'm a bit scared of watching it!
Fantasia 2000
Nowhere near as good as the original film, but far
far far superior to sequel plop like
Belle's Magical World.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
I wasn't too keen on this, although like I once said, I think that a diehard Disney fan should try to watch even the weakest Disney movies at least once in order to get an understanding of what Disney has done, so I'd give it a rental.

Fantasia always bored me when I was a kid...it just, wasnt that appealling as far as I was concerned. As it is, I haven't seen the movie in about....14 years anyways.

Heck yeah! Go and see it. It's one of my favorites, to be sure! In the top 5! I can't believe you haven't seen this masterpiece yet. To anyone who hasn't, go see it!

ok i'll have to rent or borrow this movie then but the reason i asked is cause i've seen the masterpiece collection at the stores the other day and noticed it's been around for awhile so if i do like Alice in Wonderland do you think it's worth buying the masterpiece edition? and has it gone through a restoration process like Bambi? Cause Bambi had great color

It looks great on the Masterpiece Edition. Definetely worth buying. Some of the extras are kiddy and fluffy but the deleted song is good, and some of the other extras are too. However, what really matters is the movie and in this regards the Movie looks/sounds better than ever

It's already a while ago when I watched this, but I have to say I liked it in a way, but it can't be compared to Peter Pan. The story is dramatic and I somehow thought about Narnia when I watched it, but it didn't really disturb the wathing. It's okay in my eyes but not worth watching if you're not interested in it, but.. It's a sequel and you probably know what kind of movies they are.
-Jungle Book 2
/Is It Good?
/Is it better than the first?

Never watched.
-Pocahontas 2
/Is It Good?
/Is it better than the first?
/Is it worth a watch?
Definetely worth watching, I liked it very much! It follows the real story of Pocahontas and there isn't much unneccessery things in it that would do it bad, I think it's a nice movie. It feels very different compared to the first one, but I think it worked out quite well. I recommend it, but don't expect a movie like Pocahontas with all the great music and stuff, because this won't have it (at least not in the same style as Pocahontas).
