I've been seeing commercials urging people to buy Beauty and the Beast on DVD or VHS, because Disney is going to 'put it in the vault' for a decade or so. Could ANYONE be stupid enough to fall for this?

Ninjavenom · #2

But... if they put it in the vault, i won't be able to watch it until the next time hey take it out!

Unless...

Psycho Squid · #3

I always wondered if there was a real vault that Disney keeps all their movies locked up in for ten years and then re-release them for a few months so they can threaten people that if they don't buy the movies now Disney is going to put them back in the vault for another ten years.

The Unseen · #4

yes, donald duck and goofy lock themselves in it and bone each other

Skulhedface · #5

The ONLY good thing good to come out of Disney? Kingdom Hearts. Period. Well, that and Darkwing Duck...

James · #6

GARGOYLES.

Christ, now I hate you.

Anyway, yeah, Disney alwasy does this. "Get it now, because it'll be the last time his classic will be available." And then they release a "special" edition of the movie a year later, which is just a pretty box and a coupon. I guess that makes it so that they're not breaking the rules.

Skulhedface · #7

Yes, I forgot about Gargoyles :/

but it's so unlike what Disney would normally do that it didn't come to mind

Zomboid · #8

Normally I don't mind you much, "skull", but you've taken to reviewing classic games AND saying disney's only made a few good things.

Darkwing Duck
Gargoyles
Tale Spin
Duck Tales
Aladdin series (surprisingly good at the time)
Bonkers
The Mighty Ducks (read aladdin)
CHIP 'N DALE RESCUE RANGERS (yeah, bitch)
Goof Troop

And there's probably more but I can't remember ALL of them. Granted, I loved those shows when I was a kid, but they still kicked ass.

Edit: That's not including the movies that were really good when we were kids. Fantasia is still good

FS · #9

Wouldn't it be great if, after spending ten years in Disney's vault, all the characters in their movies had gone insane and had started eating the smaller characters to survive?

Alright, alright, I'll go through this one by one.
Darkwing Duck- still a great show, I'll watch it if I happen to catch it. It just seemed radically different from the other saccharine Disney fare.
Gargoyles- See what I said for Darkwing Duck, only more so.
Tale Spin- a good idea, but it wasn't hard to lose interest after awhile. If memory serves, toward the end it became "Baloo has cargo, pirates show up and steal it, Baloo gets it back, repeat ad nauseum"
Duck Tales- Yes, I'll cop to this one. But I don't see it anymore
Aladdin- I'm sorry, but the only part of the show I did like was the Genie (but I'm going by what I remember here)
Bonkers- never cared for it at all.
Mighty Ducks- Same story. I just couldn't watch this if someone forced me to.
Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers- Thank you for pointing that out, I can't believe I forgot that. I AM off my game today... Yes, this was actually my favorite Disney cartoon.
Goof Troop- While I love the character Goofy, I just couldn't watch this show with great enthusiasm. Sure, it works in theory, but Elementary School Goofy (Max) just isn't as funny.
Fantasia- Yes, but this is more or less a standout. It's not Disney sweetening up an old fairy tale,it's a very original idea, and the visuals were wonderful to look at.

As far as the "Kingdom Hearts" comment, I'm talking about what they do TODAY. Sure, I liked a few Disney things as a kid, but when you get older you realize the absolute SHIT they are smearing out today. The only Disney MOVIE I liked since Aladdin was Hercules, and only because Greek Mythology is a MAJOR interest of mine so not even Disney could ruin this movie for me.

And I review classic games because I KNOW I can write better reviews than 90% of the fucktards that try

I could start writing other reviews but games are easier to review, to me anyway. But I did do a movie review so there

Disney has been doing this since as long as I can remember. My mother collects Disney videos so I know.

We have the Little Mermaid with the cock on it :sunglasses

pjalne · #14

Yeah, they rerelease a movie when they estimate the VHS tapes from last batch are worn out. We'll see what they'll do now that DVD is taking over.

As does my mom. In fact, I think that's half the reason The Little Mermaid sold as well as it did.

FS · #16

Oh yeah, they've been re-releasing movies for years now, sometimes even back in theatres - like when they put Snowhite back on the big screen and claimed they'd cleaned up the colors and digitally remastered it or some shit.

Have they done this 'vault' idea before, though? Kind of completely ignoring the widescale piracy of all media and the fact that most stores are probably still gorged with their work, to try and give people the idea that if they don't see the movie now, they won't see it for another ten years?

Zomboid · #17

I like greek mythology too, so hercules the (cartoon) series also kicked ass. To be honest though, I liked any show with cool villains/monsters (aladdin had a lot of those).

And about the classic games...I still don't like competition

so do I!

I like a lot of Disney movies. Lilo and Stitch was really funny, and so was the Emperors new Groove.

Some of their shows were good too, but Bonkers? That show was ass. Trying to be Roger Rabbit.

Ninjavenom · #19

Ew, Zomboid. Bonkers? Yuck.

Lilo and Stitch looked pretty cool, but i'm gonna wait for HBO to get it so no one at the video store will think i'm 8-) GAY 8-).

Daphne · #20

I thought it would be shitty, until I learned that Kevin Macdonald did a voice in it.

I think it's probably my favorite Disney movie.

Yes, FatSatan, they've done the Vault thing since at least the early 90s. The earliest I can remember the phrase being said and verifiable is when they rereleased 101 Dalmatians.

Zbu Manowar · #22

The Vault thing is just bullshit so Disney can keep their movies selling regularly so nobody gets bored with it. If you want proof, steal a video store supplier's magazine and prove it for yourself.

At least now their cartoon bubble has broken with Treasure Planet. Thank God.

Skulhedface · #23

Yes, I agree with Zbu. It's Disney's way of creating an artificial demand on their old movies (Sorry if that was already said). But then, no one can accuse Disney of being stupid, that isn't a bad idea as far as pulling in the masses' money, now is it?

BTW Zbu, I like your Victor avatar but I liked Venom better
