Pay return shipping??? I just talked with them because I missed the denial of Toy Story and they told me the package has a return label in it already. The rep said to just slap that on there and send it back. Is that.. not the case?
i mean i was told the label i had was not pre paid, and would be $2.75 to return, either way, im not letting it happen again....

Ah crap D:
I've gotten a couple DVDs from DMC because I didn't respond in time and I've never had to pay for return. Weird, hope that's not something they're doing now.
Also, on the website under your account profile you should be able to change your preference to Blu Ray. I believe that will change it so that they send Blu Rays out instead of DVDs, you do not have to respond separately to each format.

Congrats. My Mother bought me a copy of Lady and the Tramp a few months ago... from the UK. I didn't have the heart to tell her I was neurotic about packaging and DMR codes and so it didn't count, but I did ask where she bought it: Amazon. Apparently they list the UK import copies in US search results and if you don't recognize the minor packaging details you'd never know.

My wife and I are pretty active, but we've been moving around a lot the last few years so we stopped buying some of the big-ticket stuff like the Jim Shore figurines. As a result, we've got 6,000-ish spare points. I think if we had 15k, we'd probably blow it on the Walt Disney Studios private tour.

I just n d Snow White Bambi and pinnochio on release
Yeah, it went pretty quickly and sold out a few days ago. I wouldn't be shocked if it comes back up though, unless it truly is as rare as they say. Here is the direct link to it...

Third party sellers offering a great service. Pretty easy to get region vaulted stuff like lion king beauty and the beast region free for cheap.
I think the UK packaging is better too, as there's numbers on the spine.

yup, got my copy pre-ordered on DMC. I thinking of switching my pre-order to the Disney Store since they have pre-order lithographs.

Weird that they have Iago palling around with Aladdin on the cover of the first movie. I'm guessing the sequels will be coming out as well.I saw the Aladdin Diamond Edition pop up on my Amazon. Releases on October 13th.
Not directly Blu-ray related, but cool nonetheless. Disney is gonna put a bunch of their movies back in a handful of theaters in the US from now until the end of the year. Four movies a day for $5 total. Or pay for the entire promotion, from now until December, for just $40. The lineup changes every week. Consider me extremely intrigued. Sadly as of now this will only be at 6 theaters nationwide.

I knew I should have waited. I already own every one of them on Blu Ray. When I saw the Collected Works set, I instantly thought about how best to sell all the individual movies in order to put that money toward this set, but I don't know that I want to go through the trouble of it.

What are the chances that this is under $200? I'd say not likely
It's now available for pre-order @ $250.
I saw the Aladdin Diamond Edition pop up on my Amazon. Releases on October 13th.
Shit's finally coming out. Wow. Will buy.
Was hoping for a less family friendly cover and something a touch more....epic? With Jafar for sure.
Will there be a bundle of all three films? I certainly hope so. I managed to find working, great copies of both sequels on DVD but it'd be sweet to have them all on blu.

In the past they have released the sequels at the same time as their mainline counterparts (i.e. Jungle Book 2 releasing the same day as Jungle Book) but there hasn't been an announcement yet. The only reason anyone would be skeptical is because blu-ray sales have fallen across the board and a lot of companies are cutting back on their releases of minor titles in favour of digital, including Disney. Keep your fingers crossed. I'm pretty confident

Someone on the blu-ray.com forums (username: The Mad Kiwi) noted that an artist who has done a variety of packaging art for Disney incl. Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Peter Pan just added this to his portfolio:

Rehosting a smaller version:
That could be art that was commissioned but won't end up being used, but it could also indicate it's in production

Just make it a dmc exclusive if they don't want to make many. They'd only have to make a couple thousand that would sell out for collectors. I want a complete classics lineup on bluray.
a company like disney should care more about their history, but I have to pirate the Walt Disney treasure stuff if I want to get it now.

I guess we will have to wait till D23 for any news on the collection.

Which of the direct to video sequels are worth watching? I've heard good things about the Aladdin ones, I think?
I always like the sequels to Aladdin, though I haven't seen them in about 15 years, so I have no idea if they still hold up. I think some people seem to like the Lion King sequel as well.

Cinderella 3 +the Aladdin ones IMO
IIRC, Aladdin 2 was meh, Aladdin 3 was good.
Cinderella 2 was meh, 3 was good.
Little Mermaid 2 and 3 (technically a prequel) were meh.
Peter Pan 2 was terrible. The Tinkerbell movies (six of them) are mostly good.
Some of the "meh" movies are better in theory than they are in execution (which isn't really Disneytoon's fault, they were working under absurd restrictions). Depending on your feelings toward the original and your ability to overlook problems, some of the "meh" ones might be watchable.

I always liked the Aladdin sequels but I also watched the show pretty religiously. Looking back, they were the only Disney sequels I ever watched.

None of the sequels are comparable in quality to the original films. Aladdin 3 and An Extremely Goofy Movie are both probably worth watching. Not sure there's any others I'd recommend.

Cinderella III - A Twist in Time and Lion King 1 1/2.
Rule of thumb, Disney sequels most always stink, but if there's a third movie, they can actually be decent.

Thanks for the responses. I kind of figured most/all of them were shit, but I thought I'd ask anyway!

I think this is because before making a 3rd, they look at how bad the 2nd was and make the 3rd more like the 1st
Theres a formula in there somewhere..........

Oh, yeah, Fantasia 2000 and Rescuers Down Under aren't even something that come to mind when people say "sequels" because they're both mainline, theatrical release titles. I actually like Rescuers Down Under more than The Rescuers.

What kind of rewards do y'all go for from Disney Movie Rewards? None of them look interesting to me outside of maybe a few of the blu-rays.

The last time I got something I got hunchback on blu-ray. And I agree not much aside from the blu-rays catches my eye on there.
Canadians:
Treasure Planet, Atlantis 2pack and Sword in the Stone are all super cheap at HMV. I believe they're all part of the 2/X sale where they go down by 50% if you're buying two. I just grabbed Sword for $15 and Atlantis for $10!
Edit- actually I decided not to. No slipcovers. I have no idea why I'm so intent on having those. Lol
