Buy the Masterpiece Sleeping Beauty. Most of the videos are released around the would at around one million copies. This video will be only 800,000 copies. You know what that means.
The Classic version of Bambi is different than the Masterpiece. Disney folks polled parents and found that the original movie was too traumatic for little tikes. Gave them nightmares! To solve this problem, Disney had the gunshot sound removed from its new release. The Masterpiece version had only a 56 day printing period. HOT!
Pinocchio and Fantasia are "transition" pieces. That means they came after the "Classic" and before the "Masterpiece" versions. On these covers there is a Mickey Mouse in a diamond shape on the spine of the cover.
Toy Story is the only completely computer graphic movie produced.
Beauty and the Beast is the only animated movie ever nominated for Best Picture Oscar by the Academy of Performing Arts.
If you are lucky enough to live near a Disney Store, purchase the movies in advance and you'll receive a lithograph of a scene in the movie. These lithographs sell for $35.00+ alone!. The cost of advance purchase at the Disney Store is $21.99, but you often receive a choice of an additional gift or a $5.00 coupon to use on another purchase. If you use the $5.00 coupon on the next Disney released video the price of the videos drop to $16.99, which is about what you'd pay elsewhere without the nifty collectible gifts. When I pre-purchased Hercules I received a Disney beanies (Disney beanies are a whole other article in themselves) of Pain and Panic which can not be purchased elsewhere.
