The Disney Movie Club doesn't seem like a good deal.

I think it's a pretty good deal if you watch for sales on the full price BR's. I've seen some that count toward your full price ones go for around 23 or so. Which if you buy a lot of Disney they don't go on sale or dip down much on Amazon. To each their own though that's a pretty good haul up there. I got a few Ghibli DVD's should have just left those till later and got all BR's.

Are the American Ghibli BD discs region free?

Your packaging is so much nicer than the shitty ones I have here ;_;

blu-ray.com says they are

edit: Ponyo is NOT region free. Region A only. The rest of them are, just looked at my copies of Ponyo, Arrietty, and Nausicaa to confirm, and the site has scans of the backs for the others.

I just checked all of mine, BR and DVD they are all region 1. The Japanese Blu's are region free though but they are also more money.

 

[overcast]

Not necessarily blu-ray related. But Disney related. Has anybody bought The Art of Pixar postcards? I'm looking into them and am wondering which is preferred. Volume 1 or Volume 2? I love Up and Wall-E if that matters.

Might buy Lion King in other news. Only 20 dollars on Amazon.

All the DVDs are Region 1. I can confirm all 4 BDs are all region free however.
Edit: I don't know about Ponyo as I don't have that one.

You know I've got an Amazon gift card doing nothing and I think I'll splurge on some Ghibli Blu-Rays - how's Whisper of the Heart?

Very good. Especially if you want a fairly down to earth Romance/Coming of age story.

I just wanted to see if anyone else was having major issues getting their Digital Copy of Peter Pan to download? I kept getting an error 5002 (iTunes store is not available) despite the fact that I was able to download the Peter Pan Storybook App, my Flight digital copy, and some songs. I did some searching and found the answer at the below link; in case any of you are still having similar problems. I was able to download my copy based on the provided answer below.

...despite the error message, the Peter Pan title was shortly thereafter available in the "movies" section of my iTunes and available to download from iCloud.
.....

The movie was in my list of purchased movies when i went into the itunes store. Thank you so much for your help everyone!

.....

Definitely was under 'purchased' under the main iTunes account page.

Quoted for the new page.

But also contemplating ordering the Ghibli films. ;_;

Are any others planned to be brought around? I'm surprised Totoro or Spirited Away haven't happened yet.

 

[t-ramp]

I haven't even seen half of these movies. So sad. Might hit up the library tomorrow and see if they have some. I wonder if the video store would have the previously released Blu-rays for rental...

Nothing really announced as of yet. Totoro just came out in Japan in July so it will be a bit before Disney can have it ready at their current pace unless they move it to higher priority/rush it. Spirited Away doesn't even have a Japanese BD release so it isn't happening any time soon.

Disney only releases Ghibli films once a year, so we might not hear anything soon. Wish they would do it twice a year like the Diamond Editions.

Edit: Ponyo was March 2010. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was March 2011. The Secret World of Arrietty, Castle in the Sky, and Whisper of the Heart were May 2012.

I wish they would just release Spirited Away in Japan already so I could order that version. I am planning on getting the Jpn version of Totoro, Spirited Away and Mononoke when it's released. The later might take awhile but it will be faster than Disney.

 

[Femmeworth]

Last year's batch of Ghibli films was announced on April 13, 2012, so perhaps around then we will hear something if they intend to do another May release.

 

[Theonik]

Last year's batch of Ghibli films was announced April 13, 2012, so perhaps around then we will hear something.

Yes they don't seem to be announced that well in advance. These would be the candidates I guess:
My Neighbor Totoro - Japan July 2012 so somewhat less likely
Kiki's Delivery Service - Japan Dec 2012 so pretty unlikely
Omohide Poro Poro - Japan Dec 2012 so pretty unlikely
My Neighbors the Yamadas
Howl's Moving Castle
Gedo Senki (Tales From Earthsea)

They don't seem to have any fixed number of releases though so I can be 1 film like it was with Nausicaa, 3 like last time or whatever.

 

[Femmeworth]

You left out Only Yesterday. Oh wait. :\ Damn Japanese titles, this isn't MAL. >_> Still, unless they decide to dub it I don't think they are ever going to release it.

 

[qindarka]

Edit: Never mind.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Isn't Atlantis coming out March 13th as well, or is that later? Getting Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Wreck-It Ralph.

I thought Disney's deal expired?

 

[qindarka]

How long should it take for all WDAS movies to be released in Bluray?

 

[Aaron Strife]

What the hell is it with Aladdin's blu-ray release anyway? Whatever.

Got the DVD case version... Only because that's what I did for B&TB and Lion King. Gotta be consistent, you know.

 

[Femmeworth]

I thought Disney's deal expired?

Only for theatrical releases.

 

[Vyer]

Damn, almost forgot about those coupons. Will have to pick up Pan tomorrow.

 

[Theonik]

This is just me being lazy and copying the list of current releases in Japan and removing the ones already out or licensed by someone else. (ie, Grave of the Fireflies)

 

[Nemesis_]

Isn't Atlantis coming out March 13th as well, or is that later? Getting Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Wreck-It Ralph.

I scoured Amazon's site for a listing but couldn't find anything. I thought it was pushed back, if only because about wvg94892322 other titles were out that day

This list makes me glad that Disney isn't handling the UK releases of the Studio Ghibli films, we already have My Neighbor Totoro, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Howl's Moving Castle and Tales From Earthsea.

We also didn't get the god awful US Arrietty dub that Disney did where they changed some of the characters names and added a stupid pop song to the end.

If Disney was distributing them in the U.K., they would probably still come out sooner than here. The U.K. has a different Blu-ray region code, so there is less concern for reverse importation.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

We better get Totoro, Kiki and Spirited Away this year. Gahhhh.

 

[Femmeworth]

Spirited Away isn't even out in Japan, not happening.

 

[El Pescado]

Where is Lilo & Stitch?

Who knows. :\

Besides, I'd rather have Disney doing them as the UK releases are junk.

Your right I die a little everytime this is brought up in this thread.

 

[Leeness]

Noooooooooooooooo the thing I wanted from Disney rewards is gone ;_______; I only had 150 more points to go...

 

[qindarka]

Spirited Away isn't even out in Japan, not happening.

Why is it taking them so long when it's likely their most famous movie?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

More Mulan merchandise now in stock in anticipation of Bluray release. Hoping for Brother Bear And Atlantis stuff. Lol

 

[Femmeworth]

Why is it taking them so long when it's likely their most famous movie?

Apparently they aired it on Japanese television in HD a while back, so they are sitting on it for whatever reason.

 

[Broken Hope]

How are they junk? Because they cleaned them up a bit? Disney remove all the grain from their own films so it's not like it's not done. Least Studio Canal don't go around changing characters names and adding cheesy pop songs to credits like Disney did with Arrietty.

It's not just a bit, the amount of DNR they employ is pretty excessive. They also got the colours wrong. Disney also employs DNR on their own releases but it's a lot more reserved compared to what the UK Ghibli ones get.

Why is it taking them so long when it's likely their most famous movie?

Holding them back for impact I guess. They are in no rush to have those out first.

 

[Christopher]

My son is in lovvvve with Peter Pan after my 5th watch with him I appreciated this moxie more

 

[smokeymicpot]

Why don't they do Peter Pan in full screen?

 

[Christopher]

Why don't they do Peter Pan in full screen?

Wasn't made in full screen

 

[TAJ]

Why don't they do Peter Pan in full screen?

There were no widescreen Disney animated features until Lady and the Tramp.

 

[JdFoX187]

I am sad to admit that of all the Disney blus I've bought, which is all of their classics, most of their Pixar output and CG stuff, I've only watched Lion King, Up, Incredibles and Tangled. The rest of it all just sits on my shelf. I really need to take a weekend and plow through them all.

Same here I have spent a lot of time and money collecting and not watching. lol glad I'm not the only one.
