I recently purchased The Great Mouse Detective @ Bestbuy and it didn't have the insert. Which leads me to two questions.

1. Did it come with an insert originally.
2. If yes, anybody know where I could order one? Or Worst case senario, could someone scan it for me and I'll print it out.

It is one of the many Disney DVD's - an insert. Others include The Rescuers, Atlantis: Milo's Return and Jungle Book 2.

A lot of DVDs do not come with the Chapter insert...

But I would like to purchase 'The Great Mouse Detective'. I saw it earlier today on Toon Disney... a lot of the movies disney made in the 1980s were "dark" (i.e. The Black Cauldron) in my opinion.

Thanks for the update..

Wonder why they didn't add them.. Guess someone could make em up.. I'll give it a go and see what I can come up with..

They didn't make them to save money. 'Disney- Always looking to make and save money.'

Save money? I think they allready charge WAY too much for some DVD's.. 25 bucks is an outrage.. I don't care what loving cherished company makes it.. no dvd should ever go over $20.00 unless it's a combination set like 2 or 3 different movies collected together or a box set of sorts.. but a single movie.. I have such a hard time buying Disney DVD's that are over 20 bucks..

I don't know why Disney US don't just change to the clear cases that they seem to use here, and in many other iternational territories.

That way, you just have a double-sided cover slip with the chapter listing on the inside cover. Cheap as!

It has been standard practice here for ages, but many of the DVDs I imoprt from the US come in black cases, making the insert necessary. I just don't get it.

I don't spend more than $25 on a DVD. On sets I'll pay more like the Lion King Movie Collection and the Aladdin II and III.

When the DVD first came out it was under $25 but stores jack up the price after a couple months of the DVD's release since no one's going to buy it now really except the people who really want it like you and will pay anything.

A majority of the Disney DVD's at BestBuy and Circuit City are between 22 and 24.99 .. too much for a single movie. Some are cheaper.. 14.99, 16.99 .. Sales and stuff are good.. but as a general practice.. 25 bucks is highly overpriced for a movie.. No matter who makes it.

now a 3 movie box set, yeah, I expect that to be higher.. 30-35 is reasonable.. anything higher and they are nuts.

I have a Question... why do DVD cases have the 2 clips on the inside if studios don't want to put inserts in them?

It's a use at your own discretion and annoy those who collect your movies option

Example 2: No velcro tabs on Bambi Slipcover! (Unless you call them, then you still have to wait a few days...)

I kind of like those clear covers. I only have one DVD that has one though... The Last Exile vol. 1... it's anime. I don't like the idea of using the other side of the cover for the chapter listing but I like it for artwork. On the DVD I mentioned the other side of the cover is clouds and it looks kinda nice.

That's the way DVD cases are manufactured. Go figure.
