The GOOD: Staying home sick today I got to watch The Aristocats(which I hadn't seen in years and probably only saw once) and Rescuers Down Under...What can I say, I love Disney animated films of the 90s and older, and was definately in the mood for them, feeling better today.
Heh, the older Disney movies were definitely better. Actually the AristoCats just got re-released on DVD, must get it. XD

Hey, I've bought 101 Dalmatians and The Little Mermaid in the last month! I love Disney movies...well, up until Pocahontas. :P
The last month... I got The Little Mermaid a year ago. :P I need to get 101 Dalmatians soon considering it's one of the limited editions.

The only recent Disney movie I like is Lilo & Stitch. XD

Yeah, Sleeping Beauty is the next Limited Edition and then I believe it's back to Snow White in 2009.

Really? They already had Sleeping Beauty! And yes I watched the special edition Aristocats (and Sleeping Beauty today, but I've had it quite awhile)...Did they ever release Sword in the Stone Special Edition? I need that one...

Considering KQ VII I would say no. It seemed very Disney like. I always wondered whether Disney might buy them. Alas No.

Speaking of Disney special releases, does the "Disney Vault" bother anybody else?
They (Disney) release a DVD and then a few months later lock it up and don't bring it back out until a couple of years (sometimes more) later. Then, they snatch it back up! Wouldn't they make more money by keeping them available to buy forever?
On the otherhand, they certainly are helping eBay, because my last two purchases from eBay were for Disney movies, for the same prices as NORMAL DVDS! I bought The Nightmare Before Christmas and just recently, the Lion King. During Christmas and Halloween, the Nightmare Before Christmas is in SUCH demand that copies are selling on ebay for over forty dollars!
Oh well, I love old Disney movies (and the new Pixar/Disney movies) and will forever.

And YES I will be sharing them with my future kids before they see the other stuff that's getting produced. Afterall, I was raised on KQ, Disney movies, and computers and I turned out fine, right?  :raf:
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: Yonkey on April 03, 2008, 09:31:48 PM
I think they the Disney Vault thing is just a marketing strategy.  By making it a "limited time collectors item" it allows them to bump up the price, and avoid people finding their movies in a discount bin somewhere for a fraction of the cost. :P
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: PirateKingChris on April 03, 2008, 09:32:33 PM
Heh you certainly did turn out ok.
And I agree, the Disney vault thing IS ridiculous...I think I did miss the release of Sword in the Stone, which means I gotta wait.  :furious:
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: koko_99_2001 on April 04, 2008, 05:37:55 AM

Or go to eBay. Sword in the Stone is only around 7.50 there right now, and there's even a mint lot which includes Fox and the Hound! There's also a lady selling her daughter's DVDs. (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZspooky517) I feel sorry for the daughter.
Fox and the Hound was re-released on 2-disc super edition a while a go, too, but I don't know if I should buy it or not (even though it's a great one!). I'm trying to save my cash for a Chumby. Or a new videocamera.

Nah, Sword in the Stone is still out.

The only ones you have to watch out for are the limited Platinum Editions which are released every 6 months and are only in production for that time frame. Also they are re-released every 7 years... I think it's 7 years.

Fox and the Hound is also out, it was just re-released as special edition like the AristoCats.

Anyway, here's a list of the limited ones:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (No longer available)
Beauty and the Beast (No longer available)
The Lion King (No longer available)
Aladdin (No longer available)
Bambi (No longer available)
Cinderella (No longer available)
Lady and the Tramp (No longer available)
The Little Mermaid (No longer available)
Peter Pan (No longer available)
The Jungle Book (No longer available)
101 Dalmatians (Out Now)
Sleeping Beauty (2nd half of '08)

EDIT: Sword in the Stone is being re-released this year, supposedly. That may explain the lack of it in stores, so you may want to hold off on getting it.
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases

Yeah, I got Aladdin at a GameStop used a couple years ago. Disney's so cruel. Making us treasure hunt for their DVDs.
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: racx_00 on April 04, 2008, 09:17:17 AM
Agreed. I missed The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, now I'll have to wait for blu-ray release. Not that I want blu-ray...
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: awesomeasapossum on April 04, 2008, 09:29:04 AM
Back when the Lion King came out, we didn't even HAVE a DVD player! :( That's why I snagged it on eBay. $25 though! That money could have been YOURS Disney!
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: FataliOmega on April 04, 2008, 09:29:40 AM
Have to admit, it *is* a clever marketing scheme... Taking something olde, then re-wrapping it up in a shiney, "like new" package.  ::)

They also add crappy music videos by "current" Disney stars. Gross. I just want a making of and comentary!
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: racx_00 on April 04, 2008, 10:09:00 AM
The first few releases had cool features (is mainly referring to Snow White). Nowadays, the special features are Hannah Montana singing Kiss the Girl or something a rather. Oh and not to mention a crappy kids game, that doesn't even work on The Jungle Book. XD

I'm sure LN will understand my choice of song. XD
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: awesomeasapossum on April 04, 2008, 10:13:32 AM
Exactly. Why don't they forget about the "trendy kids" who watch their DVDs and instead, offer some true bonus content, like behind the scenes featurettes and such. Those are much more interesting then "Hannah Montana singing Kiss the Girl".
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: racx_00 on April 04, 2008, 10:21:46 AM
Agreed. If I actually owned these movies on VHS, I wouldn't fork out the money. They don't really offer anything worth while. Snow White and Lady & the Tramp would be the only two I'd look into if I had VHS copies.
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: awesomeasapossum on April 04, 2008, 10:41:53 AM
I have VHS copies for most of the good Disney movies, but I played them to death. (Almost.)

Actually, my sister has Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King on VHS. But yeah, both are worn out. Shame, but oh well. I guess the one good thing about the DVD releases is that we are still able to bring the memories back. XD
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases

Yeah, but they won't have that cool commercial at the beginning of the Lion King. :(

Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: PirateKingChris on April 04, 2008, 01:03:55 PM
I don't want just the regular Sword in the Stone so I will hold off for the Special Edition one....The thing that's so "special" about them to me is the cleaned up audio and picture...If you get the regular ones they're just a copy of the video onto a DVD basically, not nearly the quality.

They are making another animated movie, Princess and the Frog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_and_the_Frog) which'll be their first traditionally animated movie since 2004.

We have probably about 30-40 Disney movies on VHS, they're one of the few things my mom doesn't throw out cause she says their collectible.

Ooh, they are?! YES! Thank god they're making one.

And my mom was going to give away her VHS ones but I said no to that, I want them forever, even if I replace them with DVDs. They dont put the same covers on the DVDs that are on a bunch of the VHSs that's partially why I wanna keep em forever.

I didn't realise they were going to go back to 2D animation for one movie. I do remember something about Rapunzel being done with graphics tablets, 3D but 2D look. Can't remember exactly...

Yeah, the plain old DVDs that are part of the Gold Collection or whatever are pretty average. Although, most of the Gold Collection doesn't get better than that. Lucky that Sword in the Stone is getting better, I wish they'd make an Alice In Wonderland Special Edition.

Post by: koko_99_2001 on April 07, 2008, 09:23:28 AM
I'm just glad that they're doing another traditionally animated film. I was just recently wondering if going to the 3D look has actually HURT Disney, since all of us grew up with the traditional animation.
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: racx_00 on April 07, 2008, 09:28:02 AM
3D animation is cool and is definitely a change that was going to happen, however I do prefer the 2D animation. I feel the 2D animation had more passion and vigor, whereas the 3D animation has nothing to it.

Of course, I do believe Pixar have done wonderfully with 3D animation, but they are known for 3D. Disney started out 2D, and I guess it's kind of hard to accept change. Although, Disney hasn't had the best movies of late, so even a new 2D animation might be crap.
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: PirateKingChris on April 07, 2008, 02:53:56 PM
I would definately recommend the Beauty and the Beast DVD as it has an added song, Human Again from the broadway show, added in, and the animation matches and the song fits well with the movie.

And there IS a special edition Alice in Wonderland, you must have missed it's release...Came out two years ago I think.

I won't assume Disney's going to make a perfect 2D animated film just cause they're making one again. The last one they made was Home on the Range which, I'm sorry, looked so awful I refuse to watch it. I'm just hopeful and crossing my fingers that Princess and the Frog is so very good and does well that Disney becomes interested in doing more 2D films again, much like The Little Mermaid made them strong again for about a decade.

And I think Pixar has been the only company to show real "passion" in their 3D animation. I've seen other companies tries at 3D that are ok, but they're not classics like Disney 2D films or Pixar 3D.

And speaking of other companies, people should really watch Don Bluth films from the 80's. He worked for Disney at one time and then left to do classics on his own like Secret of Nimh, An American Tail, and All Dogs Go To Heaven.

All Dogs Go To Heaven is a great movie. I'm not sure what the sequel is like, but the first definitely felt like a Disney movie and it was just a great move overall.

*wants Tim Tams now*

Must remember to go to the World Market when I'm home next weekend to get some :D

Since I'm already posting in this thread...
I'm trying to get a DVD copy of Hunchback off Ebay, though if I'm outbid I'll get one from Amazon. I watched my VHS copy the other night and the top portion of the screen was screwy the entire way through :(

I've never had Tim Tams! *hint hint* ;)

I've got Hunchback, probably in the vault for a couple more years. Silly Disney.

I would definately recommend the Beauty and the Beast DVD as it has an added song, Human Again from the broadway show, added in, and the animation matches and the song fits well with the movie.

I actually really didn't like them adding the song in, and it's something I fast forward every time I watch the film just because it felt disjointed to me.  Although maybe being a fan of the film as it was, that changed things for me.  It's one of my favourites..  The fact that the titular Beast is our KQ6 Alexander makes it all the more better!

I was kicking myself when I found out down the line that there was an ultra-special edition of the DVD released (I only got the regular one since it was the only one I saw on sale), where you could watch it without the song.  But it goes for upwards of £60 and I'm not paying out that.

I thankfully have most of my favourites on DVD now - Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio..  As well as many others that I love!

Halfway through your post I was going to say you can watch it without the song but wow there's two special editions?

I don't have Pinocchio yet, and Sword in the Stone is definately the next one I'll be getting.

You do realize that most animated Disney Movies are, in terms of format, musicals?

And I love musicals! I'm going to see Wicked and the Lion King next year. I'm excited!
Also, Racx, have you seen the Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, or Les Miserables? All excellent musicals.

True, but I like that in animation, movies I don't. They bore me to tears...

Sweeney Todd, I did want to see, but if it's a musical, I think I'll avoid it. :P
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases
Post by: PirateKingChris on May 03, 2008, 11:56:42 PM
Don't avoid something just cause it's a musical. That's like avoiding all of other genres, you can't possibly hate ALL comedies for example. :P
I'd recommend you see Sweeney Todd, it's very good.

Lol ya I learned this today when I was doing some random imdb browzing and I told my dad and he was like "I knew Robby Benson played the Beast but I didn't know he played Alexander"  :P

EDIT: ok and now I read that Tony Jay (Captain Saladin/Lamp Trader in KQVI) played Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases

I loved Frollo in that! Especially him singing The Bells of Notre Dame at the beginning.

That's Clopin XD

Unless you meant the small part where Frollo talks during the song and not Clopin singing the actual song.
Title: Re: Disney Special Releases

Oops, right. In that case I loved Frollo singing the song about his lust for Ezmerelda in front of the fire.

Everybody always likes that song, but I don't; I always fast-forward through it. I found it really boring when I watched it as a kid. :P

Ugh I'm sorry but if you like a movie, I don't think you can fast forward through it, otherwise you don't really like it enough...

Edit: I'm sorry, that sounds rather rude doesn't it, I didn't mean to. I just like that song, and are surprised you don't, Tessy.

No worries. :)

I should have said I didn't use to like it - I actually don't mind it as much as I used too; actually, now that I think about it, I've really gotten used to it since I set up a Disney playlist with the Hunchbuck soundtrack in it and have listened to many times. When I watched Hunchback last week I didn't fast-forward through it.

Got my copy of hunchback on DVD a while back; watching the commentaries was pretty interesting.

I was going through our vhs's today and for some reason we have two copies of Aladdin. No idea why. :P

I got 45th Anniversary Sword in the Stone for my bday!

According to Wikipedia, October 7th.

Checked Amazon, it also says October 7th, so that's likely right :)

I have no idea how out-of-date my responses are going to be.

1. Sweeney Todd=Awesome
2. Alice in Wonderland was a really dark book, according to a lot of people I've talked to, so Tim Burton directing it sounds fabulous. Also, that's on my list of books I really want to read along with...
3. Hunchback of Notre Dame=Another awesome movie. When I watched it relatively recently, I was terrified at just how purely evil Frollo was. It's a LOT darker than most Disney movies and that didn't bother me at all when I was little, and now I just appreciate it. Disney really won with that one.
4. Mary Poppins scared me when I was little, not entirely sure why. Snow White still scares me; I really can't stand that movie. XD

I'm just hopeful and crossing my fingers that Princess and the Frog is so very good and does well that Disney becomes interested in doing more 2D films again, much like The Little Mermaid made them strong again for about a decade.
The teaser trailer for Princess and the Frog is out. The beginning was cute but the bug at the end just seemed dumb.

Oh wow, where'd you see it Tessy?

As far as Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland goes, some cast is up on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/
Alan Rickman as Caterpillar
Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter
Christopher Lee in an unlisted role, to name a few! Looking good!
