Your Lounge, Should You Choose To Accept It

[Spider-Fan]

I normally want my editions to match, but the MCU shows throw off the whole thing for me. Most of those that have steelbooks are from other countries (I had to import several seasons to even have them at all). Since I can't get them all to match that way, I just grab whichever ones look the best to me. But I am making sure to get editions that include the 4K + Blu Ray on the movie side.

I just really love the Thanos Steelbook look, LOL.!

 

[ComicChick]

did you disney membership arrive yet? what did you pick up?

 

[Spider-Fan]

I got:

Wall E
The Incredibles
Return to Oz
Bambi
Return of Jafar/Aladdin & the King of Thieves
Big Hero 6

Pretty happy with that. I need to get most of the Pixar films on Blu still, and the others are ones I wanted for a while

Cool, someone else who likes this movie.

It's like, one of the few of the straight to DVD sequels worth watching, LOL!!

 

[ComicChick]

was jafar straight to dvd? i thought i remember seeing it in theatres? pretty sure king of thieves was straight to dvd though. i'm honestly not sure if i've ever even seen that one.

nice selection there. i did the infinity war 4k featured title selection, with age of ultron 4k added on for $14. it's coming with a lithograph from the movie so that's cool too. i went ahead and used my 40% off member discount and piked up Avengers 4K for about 17.xx on top of that, so i'm getting all 3 marvel movies in 4k for about $20 each. so i'm cool with that

Don't quote me but I thought all the sequels to the classic and revival era Disney films never got a theatrical release. At least, I don't think so. Anyone with a definitive answer out there?

I only have one steelbook....David Lynch's DUNE....and I bought that because it was the only way to get the extended version of the movie.

That is a good deal

I know I never remembered Return of Jafar getting a theatrical release, so I went to the Wikipedia page, and it does list it as straight to video. I actually had never seen King of Thieves until I got this 2 pack. There are things I like about it.

We both could be wrong, but that's the way I remember it too.

Not entirely true. Rescuers Down Under was theatrically released, but was a BO bomb.

Some preliminary gum shoeing indicates that there are some wrinkles in the story.

The Jungle Book 2 is a 2003 animated film produced by the Australian office at DisneyToon Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution. The theatrical version of the film was released in France on February 5, 2003, and released in the United States on February 14, 2003. The film is a sequel to Walt Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book, and stars Haley Joel Osment as the voice of Mowgli and John Goodman as the voice of Baloo.

The film was originally produced as a direct-to-video film, but was released theatrically first, similar to the Peter Pan sequel, Return to Never Land. It is the third animated Disney sequel to have a theatrical release rather than going direct-to-video after The Rescuers Down Under in 1990 and Return to Never Land in 2002.

During the "revival" era there was the Rescuers sequel which has a cult following (It's quite underrated as a visually beautiful film) that did get the full theatrical treatment. It also seems that some of the sequels got limited releases in other countries but were only direct to home video in the States. There does seem to be a change at some point as in the quote above. There's also a bunch of Winnie The Pooh films that also had theatrical releases but I'm not sure if you can call those direct sequels to the Pooh shorts that were shown in theaters in the 50s/60's. I guess it depends on what one means when we say "theatrical release" in this context?

I was under the impression that there was only direct to video as an option but seems that Disney has dropped a few into theaters over the years, though not all in the States.

Glad you did the gumshoeing.....cause I wasn't going to lift a finger to do it.....not one single wrinkled old finger.

While I liked THE RESCUERS.....I like THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER more. I think it's a lot better.

I know Rescuers Down Under was in theaters because it was the first animated film I saw in theaters and I had no clue it was even a sequel for the longest time. When I finally got around to see The Rescuers years later, I found it quite disappointing. RDU was much better, imo.

Perplexing choice.

Same here.

I'm not the biggest Classic Disney head but even I could see that the first Rescuers is on the lack luster side and definitely shows the decline the animated end of Disney was going through during that period. RDU is at least visually stunning.

I'm so old I saw the original in a drive in.

and I'm a big animated flick buff, but I simply didn't go out to see them on the big screen. Sis dragged me to that one. Don't regret it because best Pixar movie in almost a decade.
