Re: Has Disney+ caused people to dump their Disney DVDs/BR?

I have movies on DVD which aren't on Disney+. Why , for instance is "Make mine music" not available on Disney+? Why only a few of the Silly Symphonies? Disney has such a rich archive of historical film, why don't they put up a collection of, for instance, The early Alice cartoons? Or a spe...

Re: Has Disney+ caused people to dump their Disney DVDs/BR?

Luckily I have a big collection of Disney dvd's and Blurays, including special Disney treasures boxes. I write luckily, for I don not trust this streaming service very much. It's far to easy to censure movies on streaming or put 'trigger warnings' in front of movies/series that cannot be skipped, mu...

Re: Disney Plus (Streaming Service)

If it's any consolation, many of the movies of today will have those same warnings in front of them in 10-30 years. Maui in Moana , something something about the PoC characters in Frozen 2 , Tiana and Naveen being in a non-Black form most of TP&TF, not enough SEA actors in Raya , etc. It's alwa...

Re: Disney Plus (Streaming Service)

It has nothing to do with pandering, those depictions were and still are offensive. This isn't anything new, people have been talking about this for decades now. If anything, it's a case of "too little, too late". Also, I can't believe someone would be that bothered by a 10-second onscree...

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)

I watched the live-action Mulan with my husband and mother at her home, and afterwards she declared that she thought the original animated movie was 10 times more enjoyable than this remake. I think I agree with her.

Re: Disney Plus (Streaming Service)

I’m sorry about your accident, BelleGirl. I support the advisories--for those who want them. I don’t own Disney+ (because high-speed isn't an option where I live), but can’t you merely skip or fast-forward them? Ultimately Disney markets themselves as being for everyone. No doubt there are many who...

Hi guys, Long time since I've been here. Lots of things have happened in my life since, the most drastic being a traffic-accident that has crippled and scarred my left arm for good (I can no longer stretch it fully) But I'm glad I can still use it, although it took a long time and much therapy to ge...

Re: Websites with good discussion boards like IMDB?

Anyone knows the reason why yhe IMdB discussion boards have been shut down? Too much trolls maybe? Could’t they handle it?
I spend some time on these boards and it was interesting indeed despite the trolls.

Re: Oliver Twist

When did Disney do Oliver Twist before? Other than Oliver & Company of course. They made a tv version of it for The Wonderful World of Disney in 1997. It had Elijah Wood as Dodger and Richard Dreyfuss as Fagin. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJLjcENi_DM[/youtube] I got a dvd copy of th...

Re: Song of the South

Great review! How were you able to watch this? I've been looking around for it for years... I just googled the full movie and I found it for free. Although there are plenty of places you can buy it too on DVD. There are DVDs on Amazon, Ebay, and Etsy for example. If you just google Song of the Sout...

Re: Zootopia 2

I could imagine 'Zootopia" be turned into a TV-series. After all, the original movie ends with the fox (sorry, forgot his name) joining the police along with Judy Hopps. It could turn into an original police-series about an odd couple of cops operating in a unique and varying environment. A bit...

Re: Your favourite Disney Animated Classic from the '80s

Apparently you cannot participate in the poll anymore. But I like to give my ranking here:

1. The Little Mermaid ("Pratically perfect in every way")
2. The Great Mouse Detective (an excellent villain)
3. The Fox and the Hound
4. Oliver & Company
5. The Black Cauldron.

Re: The Music Of Disney Animated Classics

Nice ranking :) My list would have been heavily in favor of soundtracks from 1989 onwards. Not that I think that earlier soundtracks are bad or anything, it's just that I don't find myself singing "So This Is Love" or "Bare Necessities" while I'm doing house chores as often as, ...

Watching Season 5 on Netflix now. Just two episodes left I think. Have to wait a long time before season 6 comes. Still enjoy the show, though I begin to wonder how they will keep the story going, afraid It will become a bit tired, with much forced storylines. Haven't seen Jafar yet, I'm curious to ...

It doesn't in any way stifle freedom of expression. All it means is if you say/do something disgusting or hateful, some people will criticize you. In other words, they'll exercise their freedom of expression, but that doesn't take away yours. No, Disney's Divinity,it's not that simple! I've given a...
