You should get..

Brother Bear
Oliver and Company
Monsters, Inc.

Those 3 are good movies

My favorite Disney films are:

Peter Pan
The Little Mermaid
The Lion King
The Rescuers
A Bug's Life

The second one and the last two are ones I enjoy because of memories. The first and third movies are on my list of favorites because they're such good movies.

Well in May I'm getting Pocahontas 10th Anniversary Edition and The Parent Trap Special Edition. I had taped the remake of The Parent Trap but I'm getting the DVD.

Would you recommend any of the animated films of the 1970s?

Not as a first priority. Both the films and the releases are much poorer in quality compared to the more "classic" features that are released...

I know. I only saw about 3 of the 1970s live action. I don't know how good the others are. I have one on DVD, one on VHS and the other one I taped.

Any of the Pixar movies would be a worthy buy!

Well, they're fun movies in general, but Disney doesn't seem to think so, so aside from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, we get crappy Gold Collection releases with yucky transfers and poopy extras.

So whilst I recommend the actual films, I'm not too sure about the DVDs as they're pretty poor. Hopefully Disney is reading this and will release a Masterpiece/Special Edition of Robin Hood and The Rescuers. I'd be willing to double-dip over the pieces of junk I bought.

Surely Pooh should be the one to have the poopy extras?

Since I have not seen Pocahontas, as well as a number of other Disney releases, I figured I would start this thread, called "Should I buy, or should I rent?"

It could be a place where people post their question about buying or renting a Disney movie, and ask the advice of the community.

So, here's the first post under this thread.

Having not seen Pocahontas, should I buy the 10th Anniversary Edition, or rent it? Keeping in mind that I LOVE alot of Disney animated films, but a majority of my favorites are from the period of The Little Mermaid to The Lion King. I also really liked Tarzan, and picked up the Collector's Edition of that film.

I await your advice. Thanks!

I actually think this thread relates to...<a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... 7653">What Do You Think of These Movies?</a> (But moving on to answer your question...)

Do you consider yourself to be a Disney DVD collector?
If so, buy.

Did you like Tarzan a lot?
If so, rent then buy.

(Then again, I can't compare this movie to Tarzan..

)

I really think you should buy this DVD; that way you can also enjoy the bonus disc forever..and of course, the slipcover (just kidding on that part.

)
Have you read the <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/pocahonta ... >[b]review[/b]</a>! It's superb!

However, if you will buy this, I suggest getting it the week of its release as that's usually the "cheapest" price.

And Meeko and Percy are adorable and worth watching.

The DVD looks awesome but the movie is just so-so. Sure Meeko and Percy are cool characters, but the rest of the movie was kind of boring and aside from the villian songs(

) I didn't care for the music. Plus I wanted a happier ending.

i think if you really like THE LITTLE MERMAID,BEAUTY AND THE BAST,ALADDIN,TARZEN

you should really own POCAHONTAS,

my two reasons are
music,to me,POCAHONTAS is Alan Menken's finest work
and then is animation,POCAHONTAS to me is also Glen Keane at his best after he did Aladdin,Beast and Ariel, and then he did Tarzen aftet Pocahontas.

Just get Pocahontas it's a really good movie.

CJ · Post by CJ » Thu Apr 28, 2005 8:42 pm

Not one of my favorites, but I say buy it.

Nala · Post by **Nala** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 9:08 pm

Buy. I've got the VHS of Pocahontas but I'm buying the DVD on Tuesday.

Dan05 · Post by **Dan05** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 9:11 pm

I think you should rent it and then buy it if you like it.

MadonnasManOne · Post by **MadonnasManOne** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 8:05 am

Well, it looks like most people suggest buying this release. I am sure I will enjoy it, so I will be looking for the best price, and pick it up.

Thanks for all of the advice!

I think you should buy unless you aren't a DVD Collector...like me.

Noriel · Post by **Noriel** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 10:00 am

I say rent it. You might really enjoy it or not. So instead of purchasing a blind buy, and finding out you spent $20 on a movie you don't really enjoy, rent the movie and make your own opinion of it.

If you like it, great! Go get a copy. If not, well.. then you're only missing a few dollars out of your wallet.
