Do you still own some of your Disney titles on video?

I know this'll lead to an "oh! don't mention that awful format" rant from someone, but does anybody still have the Disney movies on video? I do, BTW, and they're mainly the ones which aren't on DVD, ones with weak DVD features and ones which I don't care for as much as the others.

I still have my whole collection of Disney VHS (a lot of them were bought on the original 1st VHS releases of the movies), from Snow White to Hercules to Toy Story, etc. I've just rebought all those movies on DVD but keeping the VHS. However, my VHS collection is kinda useless and hide by now

Even though I have a big DVD Collection I am still keeping my VHS Collection. I have a lot of the rare White Clamshell Editions from the 80's that are very valuable and they are highly collectible. I will never sell my White CLamshells nor any of my huge video collection.

I still have my vhs copies of The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, which i will probably keep forever due to the fact that the DVDs have been edited/reanimated etc. And i will also keep my Snow White vhs because of the collectors booklet and the bonus features.

I have them all on VHS still, all the way from Snow White thru Mulan. I had such a fun time collecting those, I will probably never part with them.

Well I never bought VHS, but i have lots of Disney in Laserdiscs (but not as many as mvealf!

) including for example Cinderella from Japan which helps the wait between Platinum releases, and as ichabod mentions some are different than the current DVD incarnations, or have extra supplements that don't make it into the dvds

Have an entire collection of Disney videos here on the shelf. Never gonna give it away, holds too many childhood memories, and besides, as weird as it may sound, I still love watching certain movies on video.

Like "deathie mouse" I bring another format into consideration... I have most of the classic Disney animated features included in a pretty nice collection of laserdiscs. I think I've got only one on VHS and just a handful on DVDs.

I only started collecting DVDs last year in the summer so up antill then all I had was VHS. And I had almost the whole Classic collection and most of the Pooh videos and things like that. Of course now a lot of my favorites are in not in such good shape but I am not giving them away or anything.

the only two movies I have left on laserdisc that hav enot come to DVD are Cinderella and Bambi.
Of coures I still have all of my laserdiscs but my player has received virtually no play time over the last two years. and with my two remaining missing movies coming out next year, it will probably be 0 hours of playtime.
as for those of you with video.. hrmm... I can understand when the laserdiscs have an additional wealth of content over the DVD releases, but why video? No features, no quality, no reason. Buy the dvds and put those hunks of magnetic tape to rest before the disintegrate.

*Strange story for BATB:EC. Mom got it for Kram for Christmas in 1997, but she hid it so damn good that she couldn't find it, even after all these years! So we have it somewhere in the house, but it's never been opened. Kram has the DVD, though.
