Disney trying to sell a collection of old movies for $1,500

This is some high tier delusion right here, especially after how bad of a year they've had
Disney trying to sell a collection of old movies for $1,500
>cardboard sleeves that will inevitably scuff the fuck out of the discs
>$1.5k price tag
wouldn't expect any less from the Mouse
You’d think manufacturers would learn their lesson with the avalanche of complaints that came out of things like the whole fiasco with the Simpsons DVD release. And no I’m not talking about the butt ugly flimsy plastic season 6 Homer head that was the only option available, I’m talking about the way they slid into this stiff, tight cardboard sleeve with no protection making them look like they were dragged across gravel after the second or third time taking them out and putting them back. I ended up getting these little polyethylene plastic inserts and even though they’re safe sure, it’s a hassle and a half getting them out. Absolute shit design almost identical to what Yidsney is doing here
One of the selling points of bluray is you could scrub it with Brillo and it would still work.
Shiterion did the same thing with the Godzilla Showa Era box set where it's sold in a giant ugly cardboard sleeve with pockets to hold the discs. The glue on the pockets started deteriorating, so people who were displaying this eyesore upright had their blu-rays slip into the void.
I heard the digital grading on these is jacked up anyway
They look fine, but Tohisraelite didn't provide Criterion with their best 4K transfers since they are trying to sell them in their domestic market, and don't want Jap consoomers to reverse-import from North America. Criterion had to piece together the Japanese cut of King Kong vs Godzilla from the Universal master since Toho wouldn't give them their 2016 4K scan that they are now selling on UHD. :^)
sopranos box set did this, fuck that glue, and it was my 2nd copy because i sold the original case box set
Oh no, complaints??? What ever will they do! Oh they’ll dry their tears with your money.
But they are already free?
Yes and you also get Song of the South included as a bonus
>cardboard
$1500 should get me a gold encrusted steelbook
1500 is pretty much no money dude. It's 2023 most kids get that every two weeks working min wage jobs
>remember the good stuff? here's some paper, that'll be $1500
Iger, put the goddam gold pouch down for one second and do some goddam work
No Song of the South, no buy. Simple as
Isn’t it nice to know disney will die not only in your lifetime, but in the next few years?
Dying right now
They owe comcast 9.5 billion and have 200 million in liquidity
They lost 11 billion on Disney +
>sells $1500 movie set because Disney adults will buy it
>needs this because streaming and post-covid movie going has destroyed their profits
>q4 earnings coming out in January will determine if apple will buy Disney for pennies on the dollar.
No one is going to buy Disney. It’s sole value is it’s IP, which is all leveraged.
The only people who think anyone is going to buy Disney is panicked Disney executives, praying for a golden parachute.
>It’s sole value is it’s IP, which is all leveraged.
Which you think means what?
Leveraging is when you use an asset as collateral for a loan.
you can call anything with “value” an asset.
If you’re being creative, you can call, say, a movie, an asset, because it has a “value” of the published expenses (production budget).
This is how it is possible to call expenses, assets, and then leverage them.
This is how/why WB was in so much debt when AT&T, then discovery bought them. This is why AT&T sold them as fast as possible. This is why discovery, of all people, was able to buy them at all. This is why discovery had to FUCKING GUT Warner Brothers upon acquisition.
Another fun fact is one of the bigger scandals in telecommunications was worldcom leveraging the value of the expenses related to laying lines. Which was fine and dandy till they ran out of places to lay lines, thus ran out of expenses to leverage. Thus they defaulted on some loans. This is how a bunch of “mom and pop” telecommunications companies popped up in the 90s.
It has killed all the IP it’s bought in the past 10 years. No one trusts Disney anymore.
imagine apple+ putting one movie from the disney vault up every month
they'll look great on my iphone 17+
After Warner Bros. no one is stupid enough to buy a Hollywood studio. If anyone wants anything Disney has, they’re gonna wait for it to go up for auction.
The “vault“ model only worked when Disney had exclusive distribution rights. It’s psychotic to think it will work again.
They helpfully included their stock chart.
Genuinely curious to know how many of these sell
Maybe 10 tops
Definitely gonna pick one up used down the road for a few hundred when that is inevitably the case and nobody gives a fuck to hold onto as a freak oddity.
>you WILL own nothing, but we need your money so you get to own cardboard for now
Does it come with tickets to Disney World or something? 100 blu-rays for $15 each isn't really that bad from a collector's or archivist's perspective, but this is a hard sell for a bunch of kiddie movies. I don't think most people with young kids would want to waste money on this either.
It’s dvds.
It isn't fucking dvds...
No it's not. It's all blu-ray. Pic related is from the Walmart preorder page.

This is the biggest problem, and there's no information yet on whether these blu-rays are actually all 1080p or just DVD rips. Disney has a lot of shitty blu-ray releases where they went overboard on color correction. I think Cinderella is supposed to be one of the worst examples, since I've seen anons on Cinemaphile post blu-ray/laserdisc/DVD comparisons where the blu-ray looks the worst.
Meant to quote
I'm sure this will have the censored cut of Fantasia and no Song of the South.
It's 18 discs for 100 movies so each disc would have to be something like 50-100GB if the movies are 10-20 gb each. Seems perfectly reasonable to at least expect 1080p.
If this is at all limited it will sell out because Disney adults are retarded.
It says '118-disc' right in the picture.
Ohh you're right, it does say 118 discs down at the bottom. The extra 18 discs must be BTS or shorts from Pixar.

Not a comprehensive collection of Disney features.They should have excluded the Pixarslop.
why is the jungle book the only one that has a straight to DVD sequel in this collection?
Fantasia is censored.
so is goofy movie
OH LAWD DEM HOOFS!
Almost half of it is CGI garbage, and 1/4 is shit made since 2013. No uncensored Fantasia or movies like Song of the South and Mary Poppins that integrated animation with live-action either. I would've rather had those than every lame Pixar sequel.
How many of these can you not already buy on Bluray or DVD either new or secondhand?
I think they've all been released on blu-ray before, but some are out of print right now.
The design for the collection looks boring.
>The design for the collection looks boring.
They really asked: what if Mary Blair but no soul?
It’s more like
>what’s the cheapest way to sell $5 worth of paper and plastic for a 30,000% markup

nagger they're fucking blu rays not israeliteellery
you also get crystal mickey mouse ears
>100 blu-rays for $15 each isn't really that bad from a collector's or archivist's perspective
It's bad when they're releasing it in 2023, when anyone interested in these Disney movies will already have most of them already. Many of the big ones are also starting to come out separately in 4K, so it'll be obsolete before it's even out.
It's not even 100 blu-rays either. It's 18 discs with 5-6 features crammed onto each one.
A:10 V:10 thanks disney!
Is this actually bad for a bluray? I haven’t bought media since dvd but I thought the whole idea was they had retarded space in comparison.
Does an animated 40s movie with simple colours not compress well? Aren’t the 4k upscale shits blurry and overly smoothed?
I'm not really an expert, but if some of those movies have never been released on blu-ray before, you have to wonder if they are real 4K scans or just DVD rips that are upscaled. I was somewhat interested in this until I saw the selection is bloated with CGIslop from the last ten years that I would never watch. I think it would have been better if they sold several box sets for the 100th Anniversary broken up into decades. Make one for 1923-1943, another for 1944-1963, 1964-1983, etc.
This the only thing that would interest me. Old DVDs used to contain great BTS content. But a lot of recent blurays ommit that stuff and at best just have interviews
Do you think they'll include this behind the scenes footage?
POCAHONKERS
funny 🙂
Remuxes of a 1080p bluray will be ~35gb. This would mean all the movies are about 6gb each. Which is dvd or streaming quality.
Animation in general compresses very well and Blurays also don't just come in one size. There's standards like BDXL that can have 128 gigs of stuff on them. If that's what Disney uses then each movie can be 20 gigs and they can fit six movies on a disc and still have 8 gigs left. Remember that some of these movies aren't even 90 minutes long which helps keep size down.
Bruh it’s just going to be the quality they have parked on their streaming platform.
Disney peaked with Fantasia and Sleeping Beauty. There is no reason to own anything else really.

wtf is this shit
IGN went woke atleast a decade ago.
They were woke before it was woke.
$1500, and watch these will all be the censored versions.
The best part? It’s DVDs.
I know a cheaper option
seething poorfags again. I already pre-ordered this on credit. This is a piece of history in the making.
Nice, put those poorfags in their place.
Also, check these digits, nigra
Yes, it'll be called the Disney Masoleum collectors.
Not
>The Mouseoleum
It's worth it for the collectible Mickey hat alone.
i might pre order just to make Cinemaphilecels boil

>C. meh? Like, who is this for?
94. Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
>D. This was goddamn terrible. Again, what a waste of a great premise.
Gigantic slide in the following 20 years. Only Pixar was good but even then they fall in the 10's.
95. Luca (2021)
>C. Closet homo to out and proud homo mumblecore movie. Children would not find this movie good or interesting. As an adult it was a good movie until I realize I'm not some indie film made for $100k but a multi-million dollar high-profile animated film made for children. It should have been that $100k indie movie instead of this.
96. Encanto (2021)
>C. It feels like Haunted Mansion reconfigured and populated by Hispanic characters and culture. I found it annoying.
97. Turning Red (2022)
>D. What the hell was this? I watched it out of morbid curiosity and kept wondering why people put money and time into making this garbage. Like Luca, this feels like a small indie script blown up into a supernatural CGI film for no reason.
98. Lightyear (2022)
>F. Garbage. Full globohomo and unnecessary, maybe only made to hit ESG requirements for zero-interest multi-billion dollar loans. Nobody involved in this film cared about it at all outside of the money they were paid to make it, and it showed.
99. Strange World (2022)
>F. Super-hell garbage. Maybe the worst movie Disney has ever made.
100. Elemental (2023)
>C. Doesn't do much with the fantastic concept behind it. Should have been the Inside of elements but (again) terrible plot choices and a waste of a premise.
>2. Pinocchio (1940)
>Not A+++
kys
I bought the fantasia collection, it has a disc dedicated solely to the making of each segment plus loads of artwork, concept art and character design sheets. It's pretty kino. Would consider this but 1.5k is pretty damn steep
Aren't there new restorations of some of these? I know someone posted screenshots that had new ones vs. the muddy looking first blu-rays. I wonder if they're locked here or if Disney is just pushing the old shit out.
You know whoever buy this will also buy the 4k releases.
If it was 100 blurays from MGM or Warner Bros for their 100th anniversaries for $1k+ then it would be worth it for an adult collector.
>1500 dollars for pizza boxes
>not even 4k UHD
What a worthless product
Wal mart and Best Buy are low key the best place to buy 4k and blu rays, they always have crazy deals. I just got the Desperado steelbook for 15 bucks
disney "adults" will buy it
>Old movies
With problematic stuff removed
And new colorgrading
In my 47 years i've seen less than 5 disney films out of their entire catalogue, all of it sugar-coated niceness that even as a kid made me sick.
felt the same way most of the time, although there are exceptions with the Hunchback of Notre Dame being my favorite
