Diamond now signature!
February 2016!
hmm
I wonder if they'll do Pinocchio
it's the only one I missed that I still want
Those six movies only cost me 45 combined (7,50 per movie). Don't think I can get them much cheaper than that, at least if there's p&p fees involved. Though there might be some movies available elsewhere that aren't yet available in Finland that I might end up importing. I think Basil the Great Mouse Detective is available in the UK, might have to buy it from there at some point if it seems it won't be getting a release in Finland anytime soon.
Yeah that's a great deal! I think that's about what I paid each as well. When I was in Helsinki I spent time exploring the city and less time shopping, so I wasn't aware Disney Blu's were just as cheap there

what how
You filled in a bunch I'm missing. I'm missing a lot of the releases between 1995 and 2010, pretty much everything between The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Princess and the Frog, which is easily Disney's weakest period and the blu-rays they don't even bother "putting in the vault." I'm in that weird area of I own everything else they've put out, so I don't know if it's worth completing the set with a bunch of stuff I don't care about.

Power of the vault.
Amazon will have a lightning deal on it a little later today. Other than that, you'll have to try to brave the stores to find one, more than likely.

Alight Best Buy for $20 and free shipping led me to getting Aladdin. My first Disney bluray. I'm excited about it because I haven't seen it in AGES. I remember passing up the platinum edition DVD and regretting it when they cut printing for it. That was over 10 years ago!
Technically-Disney now, I also ordered The Wind Rises to show that masterpiece to my friend and own it before it starts skyrocketing in price.

I hadn't heard anything about it going out of print. Why would it skyrocket in price?

Pinocchio was the last of their "Platinum Editions" before they dropped it in favor of Diamond Editions. Pinocchio Diamond Edition is coming out next year.

Got my daughter a copy of Aladdin on Blu-Ray from Walmart today. It was only $10! It was the last copy they had. I was going to wait to give it to her until Christmas, but she really wanted it. We pull off the slip cover at home to find a slit in the plastic. Opened it up and the discs were there but someone stole the digital copy. That's the whole reason we bought it! My daughter is very young and watches things many times over. Rather than strain the disc drives on my consoles we use Vudu digital copies.
All the stores are now sold out by me, as is Walmart.com. Not to mention they'll probably never believe me. I fucking hate people.

Aww that sucks. You can buy the digital SD/HD version directly on Vudu's website for $14.99/$19.99, of course that'd be in addition to the money you already spent on the blu-ray :/
Great news!

Yeah, the whole point was to get the digital version cheap. Wal-Mart / Vudu won't help. They said call Disney.
Is there a Disney Movie's Anywhere app for the PS4?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Don't need one. Those work in the Vudu app after you link your DMA and Vudu accounts. (An action that used to get you a free 1080p digital copy of Wreck-It Ralph. Not sure if it still does.)

Is there anything different about them or just a straight reprint?

listen to the mad man
we don't know because they don't exist yet. pinnochio hasn't been announced for release, people just expect it to be coming, and the one re-release that has been announced, snow white, we just announced. we don't know anything about what's on it.

Wasn't sleeping beauty reprinted earlier this year? I thought maybe that was part of the different naming.
Hmm, debating whether to do the movie club. There's a lot of B-tier movies like Oliver and company and such I wouldn't mind getting and that seems like it may be the cheapest route...

Sleeping Beauty was Platinum -> Diamond. It used the same transfer.
We don't know what Signature implies.
DMC is totally worth it if you are smart with your signup code and which titles you buy featured. If you do it right it's about $90 for 9

It would be nice if it meant UHD masters (and Blu-rays). Weren't a lot of them already 4K masters for the Blu-rays?
Though I would probably only rebuy 4-5 movies for UHD.
The TS 1+2 Blu Rays that were released back when TS3 was released on BR are indeed the special editions. Blu Ray, DVD and special features. These are also the re-rendered versions. They've gone back and rendered the original two films again or something along that line to make them look better using newer models.

So all US Blu-ray versions have the rerendered models?

I don't think they re-did the models but they are indeed rendered for 4K. Some TS1 materials look pretty bad on the BDs.

I'd contact them--although points do expire if your account is totally unused, the mass message at the time was in error.

Is there any way to add the digital versions of all the blu rays I've bought to the Disney movies anywhere app? I would love to have the whole collection available for my daughter, but a lot of the ones I've paid for didn't come with a digital version at the time.

Unfortunately if they didn't have a digital code, you don't own a digital version. It's pretty annoying to me too -- we're only missing 4 or 5 of the Disney+Pixar blus but only maybe 15-20% of our collection is available digitally

I'm glad they've finally started to streamline their releases and having only one version of just bluray-dvd-digital copy. No more with and without digital and especially no more dvd case blu-rays (as far as I know)
So I received Spirited Away on Blu-ray for Christmas this year and it didn't come with a slipcover/o-sleeve. It's really annoying because it's the only Studio Ghibli movie I have missing one.
ebay, or just find a store that has a copy with a sleeve, buy it, then return your copy.

I saw Aladdin Diamond Edition today and while the audio and PQ were great, boy does this release feel cheap in extra features and presentation. Coming from stuff like the Beauty and the Beast BD menu where you're interactively walking around Beast's castle (with some snide remarks of Lumiere to hurry up and make a selection lol), this menu just showing some puny fireworks over Agrabah feels like a joke. Also, the fact that the Diamond in the Rough documentary (making of Aladdin) is just upscaled from the DVD release makes me worried about the quality of future Disney releases like the upcoming Snow White Signature Edition.
When streaming movies, you watch the movie you wanted and that's it. Whereas physical releases sort of "require" at least some bonus material be included with them. This is the main reason I buy movies! Sadly, the move to steaming for convenience's sake is killing a treasure trove of interviews and commentary without anyone giving a damn. Feels bad.

So Beauty and the Beast will likely be re-released one year after Snow White, right?
Pinocchio is the only movie I need to "complete" my collection. Hopefully it gets that re-release this year.

I feel like this is a problem with the blu ray medium at large. Everyone went HAM on bonus features with many DVD releases, and with Blu Ray bonus features it seems like no one wanted to do ANOTHER behind the scenes documentary that covers mostly the same ground as the DVD. So you end up with a lot of DVD bonus feature recycling, mostly in SD

Congrats. In this context is "complete" the ones you want, or is "complete" everything from Snow White to Frozen?
