Just curious, what was the last Disney VHS released, and what year was it released?

Thanks,

They had been still releasing VHS through the Disney Movie Club. Not sure iif they still do anymore...

I believe Home on the Range was the last of the DAC's to be released to VHS, since I remember hearing that Chicken Little was the first to be released only on DVD. So probably around 2004?

What does DAC stand for?

DAC: Disney Animated Classic

Thanks, supertalies! But if "Home on the Range" is the last Disney Animated Classic to be released on VHS, does that make it the last Disney film to be released on VHS?

I read somewhere that it was "Bambi II".

I believe Cars was the last vhs to be released as a DMC exclusive

Since I posted last time about the last Disney VHS released, I'm thinking about collecting Disney VHS tapes. Are there any resources (like websites, books, etc.) on collecting Disney VHS tapes and / or Disney DVDs?

Thanks,

The last DAC-VHS tape I bought was 'Fantasia 2000" I believe. it's already showing signs of wear.

Disney Movie Club Exclusive; Disney Movie Club had offered both VHS & DVD of certain movies, while people could only buy the DVDs of those movies elsewhere, like Cars.

That's in 2006?! The same year Blu-Ray and HD-DVD launched?!


Now I believe it is definitely too soon for a new format. Vinyl records lasted decades before the advent of CDs not to mention they are currently seeing a revival. A new format every ten years is beyond ridiculous and can in no means be justified.

Ok rant over.

The last Disney VHS I ever remember seeing was the Cindy PE.

It went into 2005, cause The Incredibles was released March 2005 on both DVD and VHS, I think Chicken Little was in theatres Fall 2005, so it would have been Spring 2006 when they stopped. I remember hearing that stupid Love Bug reboot (that went nowhere) was the first not to be on tape, which would mean fall 2005 at the earliest.

Well, Vinyl Records are seeing a comeback, but it won't be major. They're more collectibles(even the new ones), it seems, than something that people are frequently listening to. I think the old formats and new formats can coexist peacefully. Everyone here knows I'd personally move on to the next great thing in entertainment, but never rush in doing so.

Did any more come out after this?:

The end of an era!! (No VHS for Herbie: Fully Loaded)

I have another question about Disney VHS tapes that I'm curious about, what was the first Disney theatrical animated feature to be released on VHS right after it was released in movie theaters (not the classics like Snow White, Bambi, Fantasia, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, 101 Dalmations, etc.)?

Thanks,

The Little Mermaid was the first to have a VHS release shortly after its theatrical release. Oliver & Company, the feature the preceded it, didn't get released to VHS until 1996.

Didn't "Dumbo" get a release back in 1986, when you could like only rent movies and not buy them yet or something? I thought I read somewhere that it was the first.

EDIT: wikipedia, take it with a shaker of salt, says "Robin Hood" on December 6, 1984 for about $80. Those were the days.

Yes, but dvd500 wanted to know what the first animated film was that was released to VHS shortly after its theatrical release, not in general. You are correct that Dumbo was the first in the early 80's, but The Little Mermaid was the first to be released on home video right after its first theatrical release.
