Well I tried my Stitch has a glitch DVD for the first time today and the first thing that comes up is a new anti piracy trailer. Now normally I hate those bootleg warning you get on dvd because normally they are just a bunch of writing scralled across the page.

However I didn't mind this that much. It was a bunch a clips from various disney movies of heroes fighting villains, and this is what the narration was basically yakking on about, how piracy is villainous and needs to be thwarted. Anyway the traile was set to the 'Danse Macabre' by Saint-Saens which I'm sure you all know.

Anyway, I took a few caps of the trailer that weren't of clips from movies, it's very similar to the old VHS piracy trailer.

Can I ask if the trailer is skippable? I'll survive if it isn't, but I was just wondering. Also, what other trailers are on the DVD?

Yes it is skippable thank god, unlike most of the anti piracy trailers. It's with the others, just it comes first.

Other trailers are:

Tarzan 2
Cinderella 2 Disc SE
Kronk's New Groove
My Scene Goes Hollywood: The Movie
Disney On Ice: Mickey and Minnie's Magical Adventure

Yes, its skippable. Thank God. Other trailers are:

Tarzan II
Cinderella
Kronk's New Groove
MyScene Goes Hollywood

Good to post the disc inner rim holograms and the side package hologram screens Ichabod. Being as Hollywood is constantly moaning about pirate copies, and wants to implement such draconian hardware copy-protection on the next generation of DVD players (including disabling players for all new releases if their encryption is craked) you have to wonder why they don't implement a similar system over there.

Interestingly, the new UK Lilo and Stitch 2 disc includes:
The Muppet Show S1 as a trailer, showing the UK 1st disc has been recently mastered (as expected the second disc is a direct copy of the other European sets)

I've thought exactly the same thing myself, after all let's face it the hologram idea is nothing new is it? Disney have put holograms on the VHSs since they were first released! I mean holograms are so simple and effective! I can't see why the US haven't picked up on the yet! Talk about can't see the wood for the trees!

You already have Glitch?
I may not be able to get mine until like next Thursday ahhhh, or i could be really naughty and get it today
Oh and that trailer looks fine, better than black and white writing that nobody reads.

I got mine in the 2 pack with the Special Edition of Lilo and Stitch yesterday (Thursday) from ww.sendit.com I'm a bit surprised, they only sent the shipping notice late on Wednesday!

Mine arrived on Wednesday! from DVDPopcorn, very early and it was the cheapest price! Only £19.99!

Going back to the anti-piracy trailer thing on L&S2: SHAG



Don't you think people who get poor quality discs like the one shown in the split screen above, actually KNOW that they bought a cheap, substandard copy? And if people don't know, it's because they have no ambition to buy pirate discs anyhow? The whole thing is a whole waste of time. No purchaser poor-quality pirate DVDs will do so again if they care about quality, and no person who hasn't bought a such a pirate DVD to date will do so in the future.

Poor quality copies or camcordered footage on DVD are not the problem. The problem is professional, mass produced copies, which, despite Disney's claim, do not have poor quality pictures. Infact, they are virtually identical to the real discs, from packaging to picture quality. That's while I applude Disney including the holograms on the disc and packaging and I think it's a good idea to show them actually on the disc's warning. However, they could do this in about 10 seconds flat.

90% of the warning film is just useless.

Of course, if you're the sort of person who deliberately buys cheapy knock-off pirate DVDs, you're unlikely to see the anti-piracy trailer.


Wouldn't it be fun - just for the sake of the irony - to rip this and a whole load of other anti-piracy warnings, burn them on DVD-Rs and flog them on eBay?

Anyone? No... OK, just me then...

A couple years ago here in the US, the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) ran similar ads before all movies. They featured some crew member taking about when you download a movie and dont pay for it, I dont have food to eat or something like that. They pulled them after a couple months or so.

One funny note - once after the preview ran I heard a guy sitting behind me say "I am going to go download that preview first thing when I get home!!"

I think here in brazil we also will have some trailer like that, the piracy is very high (but i will say the truth: the buena vistar brazil don´t do any thing for the people fell atracted to buy the origial dvd, i think some people buy the pirate dvd not jjust because the price, but also like an act of protest for buena vista brasil

Other than sell them on Ebay I was thinking the same thing.

Howdy!

I believe these ads are still common on some DVD releases here in Region 1 today. I recall on one DVD, after putting the disc in, an ad for the MPAA plays, and it shows like a teenage girl trying to illegally download a movie from online. The ad ends with "Rated I - Illegal Downloading - Inappropriate For All Ages" in the style of an MPAA rating box.

BTW, speaking of downloading, I found out on a DVD Q&A website, that did you know that if you try to download an uncompressed DVD movie over a phone line, it would take about a whole year to download? I think that's what I remember; please correct me if I'm wrong.

Seems as though Disney are really trying to attack the whole "Piracy DVD" thing at the minute....
I was at the cinema last night (went to watch Bewitched) and a Narnia trailer came on.....BUT as well as it being a trailer for the film the whole thing was more about piracy dvds of the film coming out, it was actually quite good how they did it, and definatly more interesting than black and white text that comes up before every movie, it was something that people actually watched since it also promoted Narnia.
Anyway thought id post it here since its related. And keep your eyes out for it when your at the cinema in the next few weeks.

Hey, I've seen that text disclaimer before the BBFC certificate and Spider-Man 2 at the cinema on my England trip last year. I think it's a good idea to warn would-be criminals who have their camcorders set up to capture the movie to "please turn off and put away their cameras." I even like how it ends with a simple "Thank You." The problem is that NONE of the theaters here in America have a screen like this prior to the movie's showing!
