DVDs - The More Palatable Choice

 

I was searching on Disney+ to see what was interesting. Turns out they own everything on their streaming service. I found out that people are watching Cocomelon on there which feels peculiar.

There is a slight chance that we're not going to have Disney+ anymore, I could understand all the disastrous things that's happening with the streaming service nowadays. Like I was saying, I have DVDs of the films I love. Slight lost of internet connection? The DVDs don't have any problems like that. Does it have scene selections so it doesn't take you like forever to re-watch and look for a certain scene? 

DVDs are for you. 

I'm starting to think they're the most deserved things we have for watching movies. To me parts of YouTube and other social platforms ruined a good bit of my actual interests. It's easy to be distracted by stuff on the internet, but I don't think we should deserve to experience everything around us. But as someone who accepts the pleasures of entertainment and details, this is what I found about the Disney movies on Disney+.

After I looked into the One Hundred and One Dalmatians DVD I noticed how much passion and care that went into it. The special features were the best editions. This is the extras included in the Disney+ version of the movie. The only option is watching the trailer, which isn't really that exciting. 

Now here's the extra features on the 2008 2-disc Platnium edition of the DVD. 

It's more intriguing and interesting. It tells you certain information like the restoration, and has a nice and cool experience of watching Walt Disney himself talk about the actual movie alongside songs that were not included in the film. This is awesome.

I'm a huge fan of the older Disney movies when Walt was still alive. A couple of his films are my ultimate comfort films, and when I discovered that there was a use of trivia facts just made the entireity of this product more fun and engaging. 

Noting that a bizarre fact like a million of pencils were used in creating the artwork for this film is insane. 

Here's another one of my favorite Disney movies, The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh. The description is more creative and extended and we're given a ton of features.

And what does Disney+ do?

 

I'm serious. This is all you get after you watch the movie. Just a basic trailer. I guess it's good in case if no-one seen the movie yet and have a quick look if they're interested in watching it or not, BUT STILL, that is incredibly not enough. If it was a more iconic movie like The Lion King or Tangled, and only had a trailer that would've sucked, turns out they do have more extra features. 

I'm not just only talking about animated movies, sometimes old movies and live action movies do this. Last March, I talked about how cool the DVD for The Broadway Melody Of 1940 from 2003 looked, same as with the Screen Legend collections. The only one I have for now is Bing Crosby's movies.

You can tell this was made from people who truly care about the effort and try to make a decent enough DVD collection. It doesn't have to look truly excellent or massive, it can just add a few pictures and an interesting color scheme. 

Also shows you actual information of the star. I had no idea that Crosby starred in exactly 79 films until now. It's good to gain knowledge into something you like and this DVD proves it.

Did you also know that some of the DVD selections including the scene indexes can sometimes be funny? I love to imagine having a short-term job where I could come up with fun names for each scene from a movie.
