Disneyland DVDs: Where are the commercials?

Why aren't there any commercials on the Disneyland DVD's. It would be interesting to see the commercials from 50 years ago. Also the shows are an hour without the commercials, was the show editied to make room for the commercials?

Strange you should mention it, but yes, there were commercials during the opening day broadcast for Disneyland, including for Swift meat products and for the Nash Wrangler, both proud sponsers of Disneyland. They are not on the DVD but as a CM at Disneyland, I have seen them on the Cast TV broadcasts this week. Guess like so many things, it's just an issue with rights. Remember, the Mousketeers are edited out of the Disneyland USA Treasure as well.

I didn't realize that. What was the reason for the editing.

Also I don't think that copyrights would be an issue becuase, I think one was Peter Pan Peanut Butter, and it would help with advertising today.

Bluntly, some of the Mousketeers wanted residuals for their apperance on the DVD, Disney didn't want to pay, so snip-snip. This is also why the MMC Treasure is unlikely.

Isn't greed wonderful?

Even though it says that there will be MMC treasure on the upcomming DVD release schedule on UD.

Well, it would be more worth it to Disney to pay for their appearances on a MMC set, than brief appearances on a set that really didn't focus on them. They can be easily edited out of one, whereas they are the entire subject of another.

Well, I'm more than willing to eat crow and words if there is an MMC Treasure this Christmas. I want one too, believe me. Just been a bit pessimistic about it due to previous issues. But hey, more than happy to be wrong!

Commericals would be fun to put things into context, but I would imagine the legal/rights issues would be too much to deal with from a production end.

I thought the Disneyland shows back then WERE one big long commercial??

And none of us cared then or now, right?

I'm not exatcly sure what you mean by them being one long commerical but the shows only had one sponser.
