I hate Disney


I love their movies but I just hate them when it comes to DVD releases of TV shows. They started releasing so many shows and never finished them (DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Chip n' Dale, etc.) and I just don't get why they won't release ANY of the shows from the 90s based on their movies (Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, Timon & Pumbaa, Legend of Tarzan, etc.) especially since Aladdin was the most successful of them all.

I've been ranting about this for years, it's so annoying.

I would cough up good money for The Little Mermaid, Timon and Pumbaa, Hercules, Aladdin, Recess and 101 Dalmations. Come on Disney! Region 2 release in the UK as well please.

Yeah, tell me about it. So far, the only Disney Channel animated show that's actually given DVD boxed sets is Kim Possible.

Not everyone's going to be watching Disney Channel, and using DVD releases actually would cut down on internet pirating as well, that would actually be a very good economical model, yet instead they're not releasing them at all. There's also the fact that people are killing their cable providers for various reasons, so it's actually necessary to sell DVD boxed sets. At least those would allow people to actually watch them with their kids and relive their childhood. Also eliminates the hassle of marketers adding various ads and even avoids the risk of kids stumbling upon something like a sex-laced opening of the TV series Scandal after A Charlie Brown Halloween/You're Not Elected Charlie Brown on Halloween last year.

Kim Possible is another series they started releasing on DVD and then just stopped. I mean seriously, first off you made it only available to people who joined the Disney Movie Club and then you just stop. And the episodes on iTunes are ridiculously priced too. I guess they just don't want to make money.

By the way, Disney owned Power Rangers for like 10 years or something like that and never released the older series only releasing best of DVDs of the then current seasons. Once Saban got the rights back and released them in season sets, you know what? They were HUGE money makers. I mean HUGE! Disney has no clue what people want. AT. ALL.

Agreed. But fortunately there's YouTube.

Disney is about as worse Nickelodeon. At least Nickelodeon released some of their shows on DVD.

Little Mermaid series takes place after Ariel's Beginning but before the first movie.

Aladdin series takes place after Return of Jafar but before The King of Thieves.

Hercules series takes place during the time gap of the movie when Hercules is training with Phil.

Timon & Pumbaa takes place after the first movie, but before Kiara was born at the very end.

Legend of Tarzan takes place after the first movie (and obviously after the second since that was when Tarzan was a kid).
