And what's that supposed to mean exactly? That they weren't successful releases?

well Best buy got rid off its Disney100 4K blu ray stock in December '23. I went to Athens, GA store on three occasions mainly for price matching (bought each copy for 18 USD + tax which got price matched to 10 USD). There were a few copies of Cinderella left. SW was gone. Personally, I think both movies did well (SW mainly) but idk about the sales figure.

I always redirect my purchases through a Delaware facility, so I don't have to pay sales tax. I ship to them and they ship to Brazil.

If I buy them directly from Amazon, there'll also be import taxes.

I wish that they'd release the latter seasons of Stranger Things and The Witcher in physical media. Even if it's a regular BD.

Maybe they'll license it sooner rather than later, given the current decline of the streaming business model. The TV on disc era is basically gone, but we can hope for a treat every now and then.

I never imagined that Disney would ever release Disney+ series on physical media. I was really shocked

Schaeffer says one of the scenes that particularly stands out as unexpectedly beautiful is Cinderella’s coach ride through town.

“And now with the technology we have available, you actually see the lit coach going through the dark streets of town with the reflection about,” he gushes. “It’s just truly beautiful.”

Watched it again last night and loved seeing it all over again, a masterpiece.

I didn't know this was considered a musical, I just thought it was a romantic Disney cartoon movie with some music pieces.

Snow White, Cinderella, and Pinocchio are easily my top 3 Disney classics to watch.

It feels too late for Disney to fix this, but did anyone else notice that at 45:56, the word "one" is missing from Cinderella asking, "Another one?" The digital copy and Disney+ have this issue as well.

To be honest Disney doesn’t give a sh!t.

Disney 100 Steelbook blowout was awesome.

Are you talking about the fairy godmother scene? That's how the line has always been. I don’t remember her ever saying “Another one?”, just “Another?”

I checked the Diamond Edition Blu-ray and she doesn't say "another one?" just "another?" in both audio options. The subtitles however do have "another one".

So either it's not a mistake and the mistake is in the subtitles or it's a mistake that was there early on. I tend to believe the mistake is in the subtitles because looking at her mouth it doesn't seem like she says "one".

[Dsneybuf]

Someone ripped a 1995 VHS onto the Internet Archive, and it turns out she only asks "Another?" in that version as well.
I should've checked the 2005 DVD before bumping this thread.

I'm glad that this movie got released on physical media and 4K Ultra HD quality. I also hope Disney never forgets about "Cinderella", because making the movie saved them from going bankrupt back in 1950.

Here's something interesting. While Cinderella was at the ball, she did something that, if she had done it as a guest at a Disney Park, might have gotten her ejected from the park. At one point she and the prince are walking by the fountain. She sticks her right hand into the water of the fountain:

It makes the water sparkle beautifully, as you can see:

Just two months ago, at EPCOT Center, somebody decided to jump into the fountains next to The American Adventure pavilion and got ejected from the park for it.

Just goes to show you that Cinderella isn't perfect. No human is.

That hussy got away with it!

Also, it's pretty sad we have ZERO new classic Disney cartoons. Really just awkward and weird I really detest whatever the hell leads Disney these days.

I thought you said you hated hand drawn animation and that CGI is better in every way.

I don't mind saying it: Disney animation peaked in the early 1940s. I like plenty of the post Walt era films (The Little Mermaid, Hercules, Moana, etc). But as a whole I always preferred the films Walt Disney made himself for a variety of reasons, mainly they were more interesting to me (and less homogenous).

I'm hoping to see more 4k of Walt Era films in the future, even if it doesn't come soon.

I never said I hated 2D traditiinal animation. I just said that 3D computer animation looks more.impressive to me than 2D traditional animation for the most part.

I do respect the 2D traditionally animated films of the past, because without 2D traditional animation, we would not have 3D computer animation. I also like claymation films such as "Frankenweenie" and "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit".

If at any point I sounded like I had a.vendetta, it was not against 2D traditional animation, but against one user who seemed fiercely determined to badger Disney into making another movie that was made using 100% 2D traditional animation. I attempted to convince this user that Disney wouldn't do that, because between 1995 to 2009, Disney's 3D computer animated movies earned more money than their 2D traditionally animated movies, and the gap grew as the years progressed. I was trying to show this user that he/she didn't have as many allies as he/she thought. After some back-and-forth, I found that this user was not vehemenrly opposed to 3D computer animation, and that this user now understood why 2D animation had gone out of style.

I apologize if I upset you. Are we good now?

You never upset me and we were never on bad terms.

I'm not sure what i would call a peak with Disney. I think they seemingly were peaking every decade at some point, but based on just pure talent yeah the 40s they just hit it out of the park, and if it hadn't been for the war, they would have done so much more probably.

But I can't deny the other decades and their masterpieces. The 90s also had a nutter run of films for me personally, so that's always going to be a peak of storytelling at least. Obviously, the advent of digital changed everything, so it's hard to compare things in that regard.

I think of the newer ones, Moana lifts itself up pretty high, and I did enjoy Tangled and a host of Pixar stuff, mixed with a lot of lame, but it's just not quite the same I guess. We just don't have that magical animation style going anymore.
