Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) - DMC Exclusive

[TheGeneral]

Disney is releasing on BD for the first time, Blackbeard's Ghost.


Release Date: 01/05/16

Exclusive rights for sale are to Disney Movie Club Members but surely other copies will go for an increased price on 3rd party sites.


If a DMC member, the information for it is:
Price: (if follows suit of all others) $24.95
ID code: TBA


For info on DMC, check here:
Disney Movie Club Official thread
All information relevant to how the club works / newest updates can be found in the first 3 posts of the thread.
All in all, people average about 8-9 Disney (or Disney-owned) titles for anywhere from $78-90 depending on how it's planned out and what specials are happening.

Ordered! Hope they have more live action titles for 2016.

WOW!!! I was looking forward to this!
Let's hope it's not the cropped 4:3!

By the way, I have a question:
Why no Disney Club Exclusive Bluray gets a review here?

I'm guessing they don't send out review copies.

Yes, I've figured that out, but I was wondering, isn't ANYONE from the various reviewers here interested in any of these BLurays so that he would buy it and therefore be able to review it?

Seriously?!?! Wow this is amazing!!! One more off my wishlist.

A reviewer here would have to be willing to have a DMC membership in order to buy these for themselves, in order to review.

Having a DMC membership runs you about on average $70-90 for 9-11 Disney BD's, depending how you do it.
Only other option would be to buy it from a reseller on a 3rd party site, which never makes sense to do, since their price gouging is meant to cut the cost of their own memberships in half (or more) usually.

I love this film -- it will be great to see it again after so long!

One of my favorite Disney live action movies. Can't wait for Disney to release The Black Hole, The Watcher in the Woods, Candleshoe, The Cat from Outer Space, Unidentified Flying Oddball and so many other of the great movies I grew up with on Bluray.

I'll gladly take all those and Condorman & Freaky Friday.
There's no reason that we won't see all these if their intention is to continue with these exclusives

What's weird is that Region 2 European DVDs are also 4:3 but are properly framed. Whereas the US DVD is 4:3 but blown up and cropped on the sides. That transfer on the US disc was panned-and-scanned for no good reason!

I believe the HD prints that have aired on HDNet Movies are 16:9 so there shouldn't be an issue either way.

Glad Disney is still putting out their old live action movies. Too bad though that they stopped including slip covers with them like they did with the first few releases.

[Dubstar]

never seen it - decided to blind buy it with the new Aladdin double disc 'featured title' of the month.

[Steelguy]

Really like this movie, are there any extras on this release?

[John_Drake]

Just to confirm, is it OAR?

Considering they just released that as a DVD double feature doesn't bode well for it coming out on blu ray if they didn't do it at the same time. Also consider that you could buy an HD digital copy of Blackbeard's Ghost for awhile from Amazon while the Boogedy titles are still only offered in SD (same with Condorman). Boogedy are a couple titles I've been wanting for a long while now so I'm hoping I'll be proved wrong.

Speaking of which, The Black Hole, Candleshoe, The Cat From Outer Space, Freaky Friday and Unidentified Flying Oddball are also available as HD digital on Amazon so I'd imagine some of these will be coming out in the next year or two.

I was a bit bummed when Boogedy was DVD only. Maybe with enough talk about it we can get Disney to invest in a few blurays.

Ok thanks, I've never bought any of their releases, being overseas they cost a good deal more, so only going for my absolute favorites from ebay or somewhere. Their exclusive to North America sold directly, from what I know.
