"I was excited when I heard that Disney was releasing some classic films on DVD. But when I received Pinocchio in the mail, and noticed really no extra features (just no ten minutes of commercials for other Disney products like on the videos), I was a little disappointed. I was glad I ordered my DVD online. Don't pay the advertised price for these films. Buy them online. As for this "collection", make your own. You can save by not buying that "straight to video" one. Always check the price on collections, often you can make your own "best" collection for less and not have any "filler" films."

Disney DVD comes up short

"I just want to re-iterate what many of the reviewers have already posted. I was excited when I heard that the classic Disney animated features were going to be on DVD. However, I was just as disappointed when they were finally released. The prices Disney is charging for these DVDs, compared to the features being offered is nothing short of ridiculous. Extra features and trailers aside, Disney could have at least remastered the older movies in Dolby 5.1. I believe 101 Dalmations and Pinocchio are not even being offered in widescreen. It is also not clear whether the films that are widescreen are enhanced for widescreen TVs.These are basic features I believe many DVD enthusiasts require before even considering whether or not to buy a movie on DVD. I hope the market bears this out and either forces Disney to lower the prices of these editions, or to start producing more feature-rich DVDs."

Take your time to upgrade your Disney collection.

"If you bought that brand new DVD player so you can watch these new Disney releases, you're wasting your time.If you look closely, you'll notice they're trying to slip in that awful Lion King made-for-video piece of junk sequel into this "collection." Disney should not mix and match their real features with the fakes. Why waste your time releasing a movie on DVD when there are no interviews, outtakes, or even original theatrical trailers included? Even with Amazon's savings, Disney's still asking a full lenght movie's price for their just over 1 hour long features, which have nothing extra added whatsoever. Why does Disney think they can repeatedly rip off consumers like this?Even if you don't care that Disney has decided to include absolutely no exras in these titles, you'll still get stuck with that copy of "Simba's Pride" you can never get rid of. Disney should have released a special made-for-video "collection" separately, full of those sloppily slapped together monstrocities with their bad animation, worse plots, and the most horrible songs imaginable. That way you can easily avoid them altogether. Just as you should avoid this "collection." Unless you're looking forward to owning that Simba's Pride" coaster.Your VHS copies are good enough. They'll last a long time. At least until Disney can get their act together."
