Scottie <\/a> (who knows far more about films than I will probably ever know) was kind enough to offer a carefully considered response to my post<\/a> on Disney DVDs which due to some stupidity on my part was lost. Here it is: <\/p>\n

It is quite simple really, by placing them on monotorium (or back “into the vault”) from time to time they can be repromoted after the 6-10 years.. with all new restorations and whatnot. They are usually on the market for a good 12 months prior to being discontinued. And about thirty major titles have made an appearance in some form on DVD before being put back.<\/p>\n

You’re not missing too much wrt Disney Animation – The best are Dumbo (recently released on DVD), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – been back in the vault for nearly four years. Bambi, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin – should be available if you look hard and Tarzan (which would be a modern classic, if it weren’t for Rosie O’Donnell and the pointless musical interlude halfway through) – have a rummage on online shops.<\/p>\n

Fantasia is in another class, and unavailable for nearly five years. (as soon as it’s announced again, you can bet your ass I’ll have it.)<\/p>\n

And of course the Pixar films, of which The Incredibles is by far the best and easiest to obtain.<\/p>\n

eBay is your friend, but be warned about bootlegs – especially early DVD stuff like The Little Mermaid, due for re-release in 2006, along with The Jungle Book and Lady and the Tramp.<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n
