When you go to a friends house and see their collection of Disney DVDs do you ever get jealous if they have something you don't have and it is out of print? I know I do! 3/4 of the time they don't even know it is out of print. "Hmm..since your Little Mermaid DVD is just collection dust how about I take it off your hands for $12.00?" lol jk

Probably since most of us have more Disney DVD's than anyone we know, we don't get too jealous when we see our friends' collections. That's my guess as to why this poll is coming up heavily "no."

Nope. Just gives me ideas is all. And the thing about out of print is they are never out of print forever.

what friends

I don't know anyone with many Disney DVDs, the only person i know who owns one is my best friend, and that's because i bought it for her (she did want it though)

Some of my friends borrow my DVDs though, LK2 mostly, she loves it . There are some DVDs that people have on UD that i want, but not jealous as such .

Hmm...since most of my friends live in the Stone Age and refuse to buy Disney DVDs as they've got it on video, I vote "no".

I voted no, because my collection is always larger than theirs, lol. But I guess I could be jealous at all the money they have that they don't spend towards DVD, lol.

I think that "jealous" is an awfully strong word to use. Maybe "envious" would be appropriate. But with the size of my collection and amount of Disney DVD's that I have, I have nothing to worry about.

Sometimes wonder why I have spent so much money on this habit of collecting movies, but hey, I always told my kids that I was spending their inheritance..............................lol

Well jealous is the word you use when you don't have something that someone else has and it's not impossible to obtain whereas...
Envy is a word you use when you don't have something someone else has and you can never have.
For instance, all my friends got new cars before they went to college and I didn't have one so I was jealous. However, I do have a car now and I am no longer jealous.

I don't consider myself much of a collector of anything, including DVDs.

When videos were big, I used to tape constantly off of AMC Movie Classics or Turner, etc. I would call that a collection because it was pretty extensive (but it was all free, just cost me video tapes) I taped because I was afraid those old 1930s and 1940s movies would stop being aired in the future. Well I was right, AMC has since changed their format and they don't show much of the really old movies. Unfortunatly I had pared down that collection over the years and now you can't even buy half the stuff I had on tape. I regret having tossed out most of the videos now.

When the industry pushed us to DVD format, I was determined not to get "sucked in" to having to buy a lot of DVDs, as it gets expensive. I figured I could just rent what I wanted to see. However in the last 2 years I have made some efforts to collect DVDs. I've collected select Film Noir titles, some old TV series (the 2 seasons of Green Acres that was released, with Leave it To Beaver on pre-order) and now I have started on the Disney animation and Treasure series. So maybe I am changing!

Well I always thought jealous meant that you were sort of mad at the person for having something you did not, and that envious was that you admired them for it...

In my case, according to your definitions, I am still just "envious," as I cannot afford to collect on the lines of what many do here and when I saw my sister's collection of Disney animation last Friday, she had many titles that are OOP from the Platinum series. So since I can't afford to pay for the OOPs like Snow White, I guess I will have to remain envious! Of course there is always the upcoming HD format.... maybe I will get my chance to collect the coveted Snow White then!

No, I don't get jealous because I have all 44 Disney Animated Classics on DVD.
I have to see it the other way my friends get jealous of me.

I know that me, DVDjunkie and MickeyMouseboy have all 44 Disney Animated Classics on DVD so we don't ever get jealous.

Toadie is also not jealous as he has all 44.

I don't really care how many DVDs people around me have...

I said no, because the only person that has a bigger collection than me is my uncle and I have a bigger Disney DVD section than he does!

Since I have all 44 classics, I have no reason to be jealous.

I don't have a reason to be jealous I have almost every Region 1 Disney DVD release except the playhouse disney ones and a couple DCOM Dvd's I have not picked up yet.

I do sometimes get envious of DVD's that are released in other regions and not here. But I know eventually they will get here and I will have them.

Eh, I don't get jealous when I see my friends' DVD collection. Most of them either don't have any Disney movies or they have all the ones I do have.

Well now you all got me curious- what is "all 44?" Everyone seems to know what the 44 DVDs are but I don't. Is there a place where one can see this list so I will know how close I am to obtaining this lofty goal?
