Why not release two DVD editions for all future releases?

One can have all those dumb games/activities and pedia's for the kids, while the other has all the historical info, deleted scenes, etc. etc. etc. the adults always like.

The games are always a waste of space for me, and I don't know of any children who play "DVD games." They have their Playstation 18's and their Nintendo 3500 and Gamecube-in-a-pocket systems.

I agree 100% with you MovieMusicals.net, i think that Disney thinks it's creating the perfect mix of children's features, and historical features, but i would rather leave out the games for a big juicy 'making of' or 'behind the scenes'

I agree, but Disney would make more profits by just having one DVD. That way they don't saturate the market and most of the Disney DVDs released are aming towards kids rather then the 1% of adults who will buy Lion Kin 1.5 for themselves. lol

Here's a better idea, release 1 release that doesn't have set-top games!

I've seen a couple that have amused me, but still I could live without them.

The BATB game is the best so far, but was made better by the fact that the batteries were dying in my remote, so it made it alot harder lol , i actually remember getting annoyed because it wouldn't let me dodge.

Yeah, lets do away with these cheesy games...who actually plays them anyway? Most kids will buy a separate game anyway if they really want one.

Some of the newer releases keep the kids stuff on one disc and put all the documentaries on the other.

Its quite surprising the amount of people that see the word "Game!" on a dvd and think wow i have to get this it has a game on it. I've seen it at least 5 times in shops when browsing through dvds and hearning kids shout the word game. Id just prefer they shared the bonus stuff out equally, some games, fun facts and sing alongs then some documentaries, art and commentaries.

But then it all comes down to one thing, Disney films are mainly aimed at young children, if young children see that this dvd comes with audio commentary and no games they arent exactly going to beg there parents for it....

Well technically they tried that out with their DAC's from 1999-2002. There were dual-releases of Tarzan, The Emperor's New Groove, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Lilo and Stitch would have gotten this too, but they decided instead to only release the single edition, with plans for the 2-disc edition later on, but that's been getting pushed back repeatedly in R1, while R2 and R4 have been enjoying it for quite some time.

Still, Disney should bring this back, if only to separate the DVD as a watcher's DVD and a collector's DVD, with the collector's DVD not having the useless games.

Escapay

I hope Lilo & Stitch doesn't get a "1-Disc Special Edition".

No, Disney films are aimed at FAMILY, which includes kids and adults. A program that is mainly aimed at "young children" is baby einstein. And if children like games so much, they can just get a gameboy

Yes but even then, the games are still the more family friendly thing, when compared to 'making of' features. I know that when i was little, i wouldn't have been bothered with interviews and things.

In this the kind of times wher I`m glad of not living on the US

you could buy a Mexican copy, which is formated in R1 and R4 and more important, in 2-disc edition

Gameboys are more expensive. The system itself costs like $100 at least and then each game is like $30 or more unless you are really good at finding bargains.

But I do like moviemusical.net's idea of two seperate DVDs: one for the kids and another for those who are interested in the documentaries, deleted scenes, etc.

I love the idea of Disney having two releases of family friendly full-screen with 45 minutes of kiddie-games and an adult version with widescreen, commentaries, making-ofs, etc.

I can tell there are people who like playing the games. My three year twin sons love these games and they enjoy the entire 45 minutes of Bambi seasons fun and that teapot non-sense from Alice In Wonderland. I rationalized buying the current edition of Lilo & Stitch because it had only one game. (Thank God...) One of my sons is so obessed with the games that I hid the extra Cindrella disc so I don't have to deal with it.

I suspect that once these boys turn five, they will realize how lame these games are. (Of course, there is another on the way so I have four years of this.)
