    I already own every cel animated Walt Disney Animation Studios feature on 4K or Blu-ray. It’s a lot fewer than 100 and cost a lot less than $1,500. I can live without the CGI films.

    I’m glad Disney hasn’t given up on physical media entirely, but I’d like to see more 4K remasters over gilded sets of 15-year-old releases.

        I think it’s time to move on. People have been complaining about this for 20 years. It’s not happening, and if you want to watch it it’s available right now on the Internet Archive.

        There are over 40 Disney animated movies that already have Blu-ray releases that I’d rather have on 4K before Song of the South on Blu-ray. Setting aside the question of race (which for this movie is a more nuanced topic than a simple warning allows for), I think it’s just a rather dull movie.

          I see both sides. Haven’t seen the movie but it’s not so good that we’re exactly missing an artistic masterpiece here. But I don’t like the idea of art being hidden due to political correctness either.

          But it being on Internet Archive is a good middle ground; if you want it, watch it there. Although if one would want a remaster of it I’d understand.

            Also, the set doesn’t include Pete’s Dragon, Mary Poppins, Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang… other mixed live action animation Disney films.

            I encourage you to go watch it.

        All joking aside, if you’re into Disneyana it’s actually not bad. Yes, the immediate outlay seems much (I personally don’t have $1500 to blow on this collection) but it’s $15 a movie (slightly less than a regular Disney Blu-Ray or around the price of one movie ticket), plus for the collectors there’s all that pretty packaging. I’ve seen people waste their money collectors spending their money on worse things.

        An aside: where’s the official written movie list? Please don’t say “watch the linked commercial video”, please.

      Yeah, but it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. That alone makes it worth the price.

        As long as I get the original, VHS clamshell boxes, I’m happy!
