Several 'family' titles from Warner were on Mini-DVD. I never bought any of the actual movies because I couldn't bring myself to buy a "formatted to fit your screen" version of any movie, plus they were split up onto 2 single-sided discs when they could have used one 2-sided one. I did buy a Scooby Doo direct-to-video movie and a couple basketball highlights discs at the dollar store though, just to have them as I collect odd and failed media formats. They came with a brochure that showed the Cyberhome portable player that only played 3-inch discs- wonder how many of THOSE were sold?
Universal and a few other studios were said to be releasing mini-DVDs as well, but I guess Warner's didn't sell enough for them to bother. At least you can still get blank 3-inch DVDs.
