I've got all of the Disney ones, but I'll definitely bite on How to Train Your Dragon at that price.

Grumble . . . my local Best Buy didn't want to honor both the $10 off if you buy both AND the 2 coupons. I'm going to try another Best Buy. I already have Cars Blu-Ray but I'd like an extra copy to use as a birthday gift for the next Birthday party my daughter goes to. (Or use the movie ticket and give away the used copy.)
I agree with both points. I dislike the slipcases because there is a very good chance you wont receive one for a movie that originally shipped with it. And the sea of blue cases on my shelf is annoying now. That's why i really like mu Hulk Blu-Ray, it's mofoin' GREEN!see5harp said:

Cool, my friend who owns a record store does well reselling stuff that's out of print, I just thought I may join in.
I picked up a few, and figured if they don't go up in price I've got my little sister's birthday and xmas gifts lined up for the next year.

I made a thread with a solution to those latches a month or so ago. However, it seemed like I was one of the very few people that was bothered by them.see5harp said:

I never even realized people didn't know you could do that.
The Buy 3 Disney Blu-Rays Get $20 Off deal from Amazon was too enticing for my weak will. I bit for the three heading for the vault on the 30th. And I'll probably end up getting Beauty and the Beast during the Target sale next week. My wallet hates me, but Disney probably loves me.

How does this vault thing work? They actually stop selling them for a few years?
firehawk12 said:
In the past, classic titles like Fantasia and Pinocchio received VHS releases, and then DVD/Blu Ray releases 10 years later. So we more than likely won't see them pop up again for 5-10 years, probably on a new format by then.
And it all depends on how Disney does it's digital distribution as well. As of now, most Disney Blu Rays will allow you to unlock it online so you can stream it free of charge at any time.

Exactly. They've been doing it ever since they started to release VHS. Hell even before the advent of home video they would re-release their movies in theaters from time to time.firehawk12 said:

Fantasia and Sorceors Apprentice for 22 dollars was an amazing deal - gotta get them deals on the first week only.

Oof, now I kind of feel bad for now buying some of the older Disney Blu-rays.
At least the coupons are making some of the recent purchases a bit more palatable.

Good thing I checked out this thread... Got Fantasia from Amazon along with Tangled and Bambi in that Buy 3 deal.
Gonna try and keep up with all the Disney releases this time around and so far I have all their stuff except for A Bug's Life and Alice In Wonderland (animated version). Never bought any of their stuff on DVD because I knew Blu-ray was coming.

The Lion King Blu-ray/DVD sales numbers are going to be insane.icarus-daedelus said:

My wife convinced me to watch this in bed with her a few days ago. I was asleep within 20 minutes. I was already a little sleepy from toking some good cheeba earlier in the day and our comfortable ass bed didn't help.
It's got 7.1 sound. So I'll have to check it out in the living room to see if the effort was worth it. I'm assuming it was originally in mono, which was the case with Pinnochio and Sleeping Beauty Blu-rays.
That's actually one of the biggest reasons why I'm so impressed with Disney's Blu-ray offerings. The image quality is amazing, but they also actually give a shit about sound. If I'm paying $30+ for a Blu-ray, I'd love for it to take advantage of all teh tech advances made over the last few years.

It's not. It was originally in a brand new sound format that was never again used.
"The soundtrack was recorded using a multi-channel sound process called Fantasound, making Fantasia the first commercial film released in stereo. The resulting film was run in a theatre that was equipped with multiple speakers. Behind the screen were three two-way speakers of the type normally used in theatres. Around the walls and the edge of the balcony were (depending upon available resources) anywhere between 30 and 80 smaller individual speakers which were used in a similar manner to the surround speakers found in theaters today. Depending on the installation, they were either grouped into two groups - left and right, or four groups - back left, mid left, back right and mid right. This was equivalent to a modern 5.1 or 7.1 set up, respectively."
Just got back from Toys R Us. Got both Cars and the incredibles on bluray for $14.98 + tax. $17.02 for BOTH. Stacked a bunch of deals together, buy 1 br get 1 40% off, $10 off for buying both, and then printed coupons off disneymovierewards.com. You can also get 2 free movie tickets. Insane deal and everything rang up automatically, totally painless and smooth.

That's because the idiots working there have the TVs set to 120hz, which makes EVERYTHING look AWFUL. Pixar movies look absolutely fantastic on Blu-Ray playing on a normal HDTV. In Monster's Inc you can actually pause the movie and read the fine print on all the posters, flyers, newspapers, etc. It's amazing.isny said:

Which Disney blu-rays have the best special/bonus features that were NOT on DVD editions?
It's that I've watched some of these films so many times that I'm finding it hard to justify buying them again for an HD upgrade, but I'm a sucker for well-produced and meaty making of documentaries (and Cine-Explore/roundtable features). So if the blu-ray has substantial new stuff in that regard, I'll take a look.
