Best Disney DVD Ever Round Two: Live Action

Post by Disneykid »

You know the drill: Vote for your favorite of the group. The winner moves on to the final round. My vote goes to Pollyanna. Technically, Pirates of the Caribbean is the strongest DVD, but I figured that'd get a lot of votes, anyway, and it's expected for a recent film to be so jam packed.

Of the ones I've seen, I'll vote for either Pollyanna or Pirates. I'll have to think about it. Hopefully Mary Poppins will put them both to shame. :D

These are all fine sets and I'm glad to own each. The Vault Disney releases are clearly the best of the bunch, in my opinion, and as far as bonus features go, I really enjoyed The Parent Trap's extras. It also could very well be my favorite movie of the bunch.

I agree with Aaron that hopefully Mary Poppins will deliver to the Vault Disney level and beyond!

I love the Pirates DVD for the following reasons:

1. The wonderful commentaries (my favorites are the writer's and Jack & Keira's).
2. The An Epic at Sea feature, one of the best documentaries I've ever seen!
3. The deleted scenes.
4. The bloopers.

I own all of the Vault Disney DVD'S. And my favorite will have to be Parent Trap. Because my favorite special feature is of Maureen O'Hara singing For Now For Always. When I was little, my mom used that song as a lullaby. And I love that song, so much. I listen to that song all of the time. Maureen O'Hara had a beautiful voice.

The funniest thing about that, apart from the statement itself, is that I was running around saying that for weeks (or was it hours?).

Anyhoo, back to the point of this whole wacky thingy.

It is hard to choose there because you've listed all of the truly solid releases. I'd say Tron: Collector's Edition is the only one where I have watched all the features right through, and been fascinated by how they lived back in the 1980s (ok, I was there, but it was a nice trip anyway).

The Parent Trap: Vault Disney Collection is also a personal fave, simply because I love the movie so much. But all the 'Vaults' (and 20,000 Leagues...) are on par for me.

And while I love my Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - Collector's Edition, and it did have a lot of documentary stuff, it all felt a little too bit EPK for me. Didn't feel as "solid" as some other special editions.
