Disney only offering bilingual covers for Canadian releases? - Page 12 - Blu-ray Forum

R0CK0X · 02-03-2020, 02:03 PM

Very true. My least favourite covers are where the English is on the left side of the cover and the French is on the right side, like the Jungle Book. So in comparison, Frozen II is damn near artistic.

Toy Story 4 is still by far the worst of what you are talking about, imo.

What’s wrong with the cover for La Reine Des Neiges II?

I'm a little disappointed that it isn't La Reine Des Neiges et Le Bonhomme De Neige II

Warner Bros seems to have stopped with this nonsense. Three Blu-rays I got from them recently (Detective Pikachu, IT Chapter 2, and Doctor Sleep) were all without French text in my local Walmart. They must have realized this bilingual nonsense just doesn't perform as well as regular packaging. Not sure if Disney will go back to regular packaging anytime soon, it just means I gotta keep importing.

So insightful! Care to explain why, or would you rather just come in here , dump four words and leave without contributing anything else?

I skimmed through the thread and I don’t think I saw this answer. Those who are importing the movies from the States, does the digital copy work here? I’ve found some studios have been screwing the Canadian release with bluray/DVD only packs whole the US still gets the digital. I tried buying them but the code wouldn’t work here. I emailed the studio and they were basically “tough, it’s US only.” So now I’m concerned if I buy the disney movies from amazon.com, my digital copy won’t work. Not to mention the movie rewards points. Even though the program went downhill.

Usually the Marvel/Disney ones work with Google Play and iTunes.

Not sure about Universal/Paramount

So if they have a MoviesAnywhere code (on the back of the movie) then that will work for sure if you redeem in the US.

However, I think I had problems with Lionsgate releases. Those codes give you a Google code which only works for US Google accounts.

GreatGreg · 02-26-2020, 01:21 AM

Yes, sometimes they don't work.

I buy a lot of movies from the US when I am there and I redeem the digital copies while I'm in the US, which works.

However, there are some that don't work.

Thanks. So frustrating there’s no perfect solution. How much money could they possibly be saving?

rayuk · 03-03-2020, 10:06 PM

Can anyong confirm if LA HAUT looks as bad as it does in pictures?

Doombear · 04-02-2020, 11:40 PM

How hard is it to put the French on one side and English on the other side so we have the option?

sapiendut · 04-02-2020, 11:59 PM

Hard, no, but cost of printing double sided is more than double.

steveapproved · 04-05-2020, 12:10 AM

The real question is why Fox releases are able to make the french smaller than the english while Disney makes they both the same sizes.

simsim200 · 04-05-2020, 02:31 PM

Because Disney gives as much importance to French as to English. As a French speaker, it's nice to see that the company promotes French, even though I'd prefer to have the choice between a full French cover and a full English cover.

Lol, don't fool yourself into thinking they respect or promote 20% of the country, they're legally mandated to have french packaging and this is the cheapest possible option for them.
