I wonder if we'll get a new release of song of the south
I might actually jump on to this. Seems like having Disney and Hulu would get you almost everything you would want to watch. Sucks for the people that like Netflix's original content or HBO and such.
finally we can get all the cinderella 3: a twist in time viewing parties we've been dreaming of
Basically anyone who want a physical copy to actually own the movie they purchased is SOL forever once the physical copy goes out of print. Great.
I don't think that's quite what they're going for, not yet anyway. This seems more like "Instead of just re-printing new editions of our films every few years and creating artificial scarcity, let's just throw them all online." I don't see any current indication that they're going to stop putting these films on disc. Streaming gets bigger every year, but I don't think physical media sales are trivial enough yet to simply discard.
luckily disney movies are some of the most common physical discs - tens of millions of copies of every significant disney movie are still out there. Ever been to a goodwill and seen the shelf full of near exclusively disney vhs tapes?
Yeah the language should be really be that they are opening the vault for good, supposedly their entire back catalogue will finally be available
Since streaming is easier that actually releasing a movie on DVD/Blu-Ray/4K UHD, it should be easier for them to upload their backlog without much trouble. If they release everything on their streaming service, even the obscure stuff, I'd be happy to at least check it out.
I think you guys have completely misinterpreted this. The Disney Vault was a marketing tactic Disney has been employing since home video became a thing. They would only release their films for a limited time before stopping sales and "putting the film in the Vault", meaning the only way to get a copy was to buy it second hand or wait for it to be "taken out of the Vault". It was a means of creating artificial scarcity to maintain a film's financial viability (or 'reputation' as Disney tried to spin it). The Disney Vault is a bad thing and 'closing' it means they're no longer artificially preventing people from having access to their products. Yeah it's bad that they're maintaining exclusivity on their films to force you onto their service, but at least you can actually access some of the films at all now.
the entire vault you say The song of the south either put up or shut up disney
Really Disney, and any animation company, should have the balls Warner Bros have and show all their old shit uncensored and unedited, just with a disclaimer at the start that they don't agree with the views shown in the work, but that they believe that showing how things used to be is a valid form of entertainment. Or pussy out and pretend it doesn't exist.
Tbh disney has censored its films for years, for example fantasia as we know it today isnt the same one originally released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nx4ekJ0i_w
Up until they begin breaking their streaming service into different categories where the more you pay, the more movies you get access to. It's just a matter of time.
Hope they add stuff that never got ported to dvd like their winnie the pooh tv show
I'm partial to a re-release of Fluppy Dogs, something literally no one has heard of me besides me.
You'll have to be more specific. There were several Winnie the Pooh tv shows. Was it the house at pooh corner?
Nah it was "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdKnojhNBeI
Oh ok. I was getting confused because I remember having DVDs that had "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" on it. But they weren't under the ""The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh"" label. Just short compilations that have a theming to it and bonus episodes on other Winnie the Pooh related DVDs.
I dislike disney as a company, so this makes it much easier to avoid giving them any money.
I expected to see some boobs or come with the balls but I saw so much more Big wow
there's a divide amongst journo sites on whether to call it closing or opening depending on if they dislike disney/want the streaming service to fail or not. Some of them do say "opening" instead.
It is bad I have to rewatch this again to see what was wrong?
The black stereotypical caricature of that one Centaur, you dumb dumb
