Of the multi-disc sets Disney has released, which is your personal favorite? I did a poll like this a few months ago, but this one is updated to include more titles. Mine goes to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, though most of these sets are quite good and rank extremely close.

Ummm...where did the poll go...

Funny, that's the same thing I asked my self yesterday, i don't know why but it seems that everytime you edit a poll-thread, the poll vanishes, try editiong putting the question and two more options like "none" or "all".

Anyway I vote for Snow white.

Great...now all the options are doubled...Bah. Just for the first option of each title so there's no mixups.

First rule of UltimateDisney.com Forum....Don't edit the poll...don't ever edit the poll threads!

Love them ALL.
But I REALLY love the Fantasia Anthology.

Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box.....yes, I finally got around to watching it and well, it blew my mind!

I cast my vote for the Fantasia Anthology.

Each movie by itself has great bonus features, but when you add in an incredible bonus disc it just exceeds all of my expectations of what Fantasia would be on DVD!

the Fantasia Anthology of course!
By the way, my 200th post here!
(couldn´t bear to not say that! - everybody else does!)

Atlantis all the way. For these reasons:

1) While the Fantasia set, the Toybox and Snow White are excellent, they are mainly retrospective (nothing wrong with that, they are after all collector sets of older films). I prefer Atlantis because it's more modern and as a more "immediate" or "contemporary" feel. We can see that the footage was filmed as, or just after the film was being made, and to me that makes it more "exciting".

2) The navigation. To me, Atlantis has the best navigation of any Disney DVD. It can be immersive, indexed or best of all played as a single in-depth documentary (which lasts around 2 hours) and feels complete. Even if individual segments are played - none are shorter than 5 minutes (if I remember correctly). So you get a full, unhurried, complete 2 hour documentary. Compare that to recent Disney releases and there's no comparison. (And even the snow white documentary, good as it was, was only 40 mins)

This system really was perfect. I dunno why they thought they had to change it? And change it to crap like the Lion King continents?

3) No fluff. No silly games anywhere. The most fluffy content is the Disneypedia, but even this has some interest for adult viewers. This release (and Tarzan before it) are most like the Disney LD releases of old.

4) Option to enable the visual commentary or not. I'm not sure how I feel about these visual commentarties. I know Treasure Planet annoyed the hell out of me, but that was mainly because I had explored the disc beforehand and the visual commentary kept insisting on branching out to sections I had already seen (which goes back to Disney's insistance on repeating features I suppose). Either way, it's great to have the opportunity to play the commentary with or without the visual aspect.

5) The release came with a flyer advertising the DTV sequel (which never arrived). But it's only because of this flyer Disney buckled down and finished and released the incomplete Team Atlantis episodes (to meet their prior advertising).

Monsters,Inc.Great picture,great sound,great supplements,great DVD.

I went for Monsters inc - but it was a tough call they're all good , especially Atlantis & Toy Box

Bonus features wise...

1-Atlantis: The Lost Empire
2-Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
3-The Fantasia Anthology
4-Beauty and the Beast
5-Sleeping Beauty
7-Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
8-Monsters, Inc.
9-Tarzan
10-The Emperor's New Groove
11-The Lion King
12-Peter Pan (R2 edition)

The other Collector's Editions I don't have... yet! I didn't bother buying them, because I'm no fan of digital animation. So, I'm satisfied with the 1-discer releases I have... but I'm planning to buy the Collector's Editions of "Dinosaur" and "A Bug's Life" next year, though...

I voted for Beauty and the Beast because it's one of the first Disney films I saw when I was young.

Snow White was the best i think. Sure Ultimate toy box was interesting (and in 2nd place) but i prefer the insider info on traditional animation rather than the cgi that they use

I think Monster Inc. is the best.The Bonus-Features are very, very good.

I can´t vote, because excepting the beauty and the beast and the lion king, none of these has been released here in brasil.

I picked Monsters Inc. I loved everything about that release

Atlantis: TLE Hands down!!!

Beauty and the Beast.

I loved Fantasia 2000, one of my favorites, and while I appreciate and respect the original Fantasia, I'm not as fond of it. But on the Beauty and the Beast DVD...I really thought it was neat how they had the theatrical edition, special edition, AND the work-in-progress edition from the New York film festival.

Three very nice presentations of the film (of which the theatrical is still the best, of course). Some nice extras, but normally...unless it's one of the films I really do love (like Lilo & Stich or Fantasia 2000), I'll only browse through the extras, not look at them all...
