As a VHS collector, this has been a joke in the community for like a decade. Almost as funny as people who grade their tapes. I think it gets engagement for the same reason any articles like this do. It’s just people getting excited thinking that their old junk is worth a ton of money. Same as people who have tons of comics from the 80s and 90s. Also, fun fact as someone who collects Disney tapes, Disney had 6 different productions companies under their umbrella. Themselves, Buena Vista (which they used to distribute non-Disney cartoons as well as being the actual distributor for all the companies), Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, Miramax, and Dimension. Which means that Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, some Hellraiser movies, the Scream series, and many other tapes are part of my Disney collection. They’re all part of a continuous list of catalog numbers on their spines.

[@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8]

​@@meganheartswellthere could be any number of reasons. For me, a lot of the older movies look better on tape because that's how they were intended to be seen. Certain special effects or backgrounds look believable on tape but they look fake on DVD, as an example.

[@MorganMeryl]

@meganheartswell Partly nostalgia, as I grew up on VHS. Partly the aesthetics. I just love the "patina" of vhs. Sometimes the tape has imperfections or gains them over time. The image is less clear and overall it gives a different, unique "flavour" to the look of the material.

I've been trying to explain this to my managers at the one I work at. They'll look something up and go by the price of the first listing they see. When a customer complains, they just tell them, "Online it's going for (insert price here), so it's a pretty good deal."

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

I'm so happy thrift stores in my country is ran by old people who can't go online and compare prices. But my local online market needs to stop with the whole "The market price is this, so l better set my things at this price" thing, not understanding that markets mark them up.

[@Takeshi357]

[@Futuredynamo]

What's funny about that? I have that one as do many people. It is not some rare thing. It was never recalled or swiftly discontinued BECAUSE of the cover art. That version only went out of print when the movie went "into the vault." It was the first release of the movie on VHS after it was originally in theaters, so there are TONS of copies out there. And since it was the first release of the film right after its highly successful theatrical run, more copies of it were likely manufactured and sold than the subsequent VHS release that came out years later. And the cover art being different on the later VHS release isn't some big deal either. Most of the time when a new VHS (or DVD, or Blu-Ray, etc.) release of a Disney movie comes out, the cover art varies to some extent or another to previous releases. Even if that original poster art never had that "innuendo" in it, odds are it still wouldn't have been used for that later VHS release.

It’s the same thing we’re now seeing with Disney VHS tapes!

[@felisazure1820]

This is why it's so important to shop around for whatever old thing you're looking for. For example, my mother and I were looking for old Disney Scene It games, and we were able to get one at a reasonable price because we knew our options. If we'd just looked at the most expensive option and bought that, we would have just assumed it was worth a lot of money.

I collect VHS, and I have a few dozen Disney tapes. Collecting Disney is a bit of a meme in the VHS community. Everyone knows they aren't worth anything. Most of my own personal collection I obtained on a lark over a single weekend for about $10. That was for over 30 titles. Most serious communities even ban discussions about Disney, because it's always either newbie collectors asking how much their tapes are worth, or people making the same "I'm rich" jokes after picking up a Fox and the Hound tape for 50¢. I will say, that in addition to the Cars VHS being somewhat valuable, there's also a few Korean releases that can fetch a pretty penny. They released VHS a couple years longer than the US, so they got some titles like Wall•E on tape.

So for reference, I live in Sweden and over the years Disney movies have been re-dubbed. One of the most sought after original dubs that were at one point available outside theaters is Pinocchio, which was released as a rental VHS in the late 80's before it was re-dubbed for all subsequent home video releases. Due to it being so old, and rental only, there's not a lot of copies in playable condition left. I've only ever seen one copy listed and it sold for 200 US Dollars. that's Two Hundred, with 2 zeros. And that's probably the most expensive Swedish Disney release, unless you are sitting on the rumored 16 mm print with the original dub of either Lady and the Tramp or Sleeping Beauty, that were only available for institutions like schools. Even other original dubs don't sell for that much. I've personally bought both Alice in Wonderland with the original dub and Dumbo with the second of 3 dubs (the first one being considered lost unless Disney has a copy in the vault) for 10-15 dollars each, and if you are willing to take a gamble on Bambi (the first home video print run had the original audio by mistake, but it was corrected for the second run, and they look the same from the outside), you can get one for 1-5 dollars. It wouldn't cost you too much to just keep buying until you find it. Thinking that these tapes that are not rare and offer nothing what so ever you can't get on a DVD or on Disney+, save nostalgia and maybe some old commercials you can probably find on KZbin anyway, it just delusional.

[@drummaster10]

I have lots and lots of rare international vhs disney intros that are preserved on my VHS youtube channel, including the Swedish ducktales 1980s rental egmont vhs tapes and the extremely rare Pakistan and israel disney vhs tapes.

[@pinkdarkman]

Why the fuck was Sweden making dubs over and over again for the same movies though lol???

[@Blixthand]

​@@pinkdarkman Well, that question could have a few different answers. For some movies or TV-shows it could be because of rights disputes or contracts not holding up for home media releases. Like if a TV channel bought the rights to a series and they funded the dub or did an in-house dub and then lost/didn't renew the rights to the series, they may still own the rights to their dub, so when some other channel picked up the series they had to do a new one. Or it could be because it was outdated or badly translated or not complete. In the case of Disney movies the most likely reason for most of the movies that got re-dubs was that the original dub didn't hold up to Disney's modern quality requirements, and no separate master of just the dialogue existed for remastering. Not all Disney movies have gotten re-dubs though, and most of the ones that have have only gotten one re-dub. This quality issue is probably the reason why Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, and the second dub of Dumbo got scrapped and re-dubbed. Dumbo is a special case because the first dub wasn't directed in Sweden, it was made in the US using Swedish emigrants as the voices, which is probably why it was re-dubbed the first time for theatrical re-releases. All of the others were used up until the home video market took off in the late 80's or early 90's. The original Alice and Wonderland and the second Dumbo dub was even used for their first respective VHS releases, and while there isn't exactly an abundance of those old tapes left, they aren't terribly expensive either. Bambi's original dub was put on the original VHS by mistake and Disney didn't think it was worth the expense to recall and destroy them all. About 70% of the first VHS release is estimated to have the original dub, but you can't tell from the outside which dub any given cassette has. They are pretty cheap though so buy a dozen and hope you get lucky I guess. Snow White and 101 Dalmatians can be found online, most likely recorded from old theatre reels that are now in private collections. Rumors are Peter Pan is available as well, but I haven't found it, except some clips on YT. Lady and the Tramp and Sleeping Beauty are rumored to have had 16 mm prints that schools and other institutions could purchase for smaller public screenings, that would have the original dubs on them, but it seems unclear if they ever existed or if any survives. Pinocchio's original dub was released as a rental VHS copy in the mid 80's, and very few copies in playable condition that wasn't recalled later now exists. I've only seen one listed 3 times and all three times it has sold for over 200 dollars, which all things considered ins't that much, but more than I could afford every time. Cinderella was one of the first to get re-dubbed only 17 years after the original dub, claiming outdated language use, though the "new" dub is still the one being used despite being more than 50 years old now. I have no records of the original existing anywhere where the public might hear it. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was a movie of three previously released shorts stitched together with frame story. All three shorts had been dubbed before and can be found online (unclear if these were ever on VHS or maybe aired on TV or if they are form old theatre reels). Anyway, they decided to re-dub the entire movie as they had to do new voice work for the new scenes anyway. The Black Caldron was for some reason edited for the Swedish theatrical release, removing a few minutes, and it's likely that those removed scenes were never dubbed and that's why they needed to make an entire new dub when the scenes where added back in for a home video release. The original edited version can be found online. The last Disney movie (so far) that was re-dubbed in Sweden was Oliver and Co. Apparently some of the actors (or at least one of the main ones) claimed they hadn't been paid enough for the dub to be used in home video releases and that the contract didn't cover that and they demanded more money. In very simplified terms Disney said "F you, we make the rules" and re-dubbed the entire thing instead of caving and paying the original actors more. To my knowledge they even used the same script, while every other re-dub have had varying degrees of changes to modernize or bring the dub closer to the original or to re-interpret jokes and puns. The original dub of Oliver and Co was by mistake put on the first DVD release of the movie, but it was found out and most of them were re-called and destroyed. A few still floats around out there. You can't see which version it is from the outside, but confirmed original dubs in good condition can fetch up to 100 dollars with the right buyer.

I'm a casual VHS collector, and let me just say that ANYONE trying to hawk off their Black Diamond or Masterpiece Collection Disney tapes for THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS is either drunk, crazy, or hoping to scam somebody's grandma that will fall for the hype. What a bunch of bull. Some Disney tapes can run in the HUNDREDS (not thousands), but these are usually ones like the Cars VHS release (and Cars isn't the only DMC Exclusive tape released: there were also some of these collector's tapes pressed for movies like The Wild and Chicken Little). Early Walt Disney Home Video tapes (ones released when they were first testing the VHS/Betamax market) can also run for a pretty penny because there aren't as many still around due to their age and limited release. (And the late '70s-early '80s DiscoVision laserdiscs are a bit expensive in the collector's market, too. These were some of the first Disney releases pressed to home media.) There are other, more obscure oddities, like promo tapes for the parks and screener/retailer copies, that have been sold for decently large prices, as well.

I can tell you how rare Disney VHS tapes are; I was given nine by my Grandpa when I was 12 since I had/ have a VCR in my room. They were the tapes my mom bought back when she worked at Sam's Club in the 90s. Then I got about ten literal Xerox boxes full of probably the entire Disney Vault when my neighbors from across the street moved. It's cool to own these as a movie buff, but not worth thousands. Probably .50 maybe a dollar if you're lucky.

I am a Disney Adult who had a beefy video tape collection as a child back when they were normal, only Disney manipulating the price level expensive. I am a nostalgia factory. I would never purchase the VHSs. Disney has made lots of merch in the style of the VHS cases in the past and I didn’t buy it, but if I wanted that vibe or nostalgia that’s the direction I’d go.

[@eaglescout1984]

I assumed this would be a video about the Disney Vault. I mean, it's one thing for a random guy to list their Disney VHS tapes at $5000 on eBay, and quite another for a multi-million dollar corporation to intentionally make their home movie releases more rare in order to force consumers to buy them at a higher price.

The World of Nintendo display has to be the coolest thing I have seen in someone's room.

[@virgil592]

Wait... So they're not worth millions of dollars?! JEEVES JEEVES LIQUIDATE EVERYTHING!!! JEEVES?! JEEVES!!! I... may have made a boo boo.

Randomly got recommended this video and I was surprised to see my reddit post at 7:31 lol

I'm about to spend $100 to become a millionaire right now

[@Thatsmashguy27]

My mom actually found that banned variant of the little mermaid vhs at a goodwill once

[@SuperCaleb360]

You have my entire childhood in the background

[@crossphadedexperience4836]

...Is this a quickhack way to have people toss out old GOOD Disney? To replace New BAD Disney? Also, weird coincidence I'm finding this video, when last night a truck full of Disney packages came into my area...I don't know of any Full Disney acquainted event or business in this state.

[@JM_Friends]

I still have the vhs copy of The little mermaid that was censored cuz of the castle Tbh, any vhs is rare 😂

[@mpm1125]

I have Song of the South on VHS. I wonder how much Disney would pay me for it?

[@ninjaluke3860]

My grandparents have some of these at their house it's rlly funny where ppl get these figures from it would be different if the tapes were not mass produced.

[@constructionproduction4965]

Seems like some of the people in the back making the Scripps for the news has some VHS tapes that they need to get rid of

[@dyscotopia]

Omigosh.. My ex had the cars VHS for her kid and he watched it until it was shredded bits of celluloid. Pixar should be ashamed of that piece of exhaust pipe

[@04Baby]

Chadtronic casually in my recommended for the first time in like 8 years. Nice 😂

[@JulianoAJ]

Cars was my first Pixar DVD 📀

[@songohan1238]

what is sad is older people might see this and think they can sell it for a lot to get money for their grandkids or something or some kid try's to sell it for this much even though most of these can be watched on Disney plus i understand people wanting to get the nostalgia fells

[@SpyroTheGerudo]

Finally, my hyperfixation 😂

[@GrilledCheese2theMAX]

I just sold the rescuers down under for a bagel. With creamcheese!

[@purplegreninja7284]

Hey Chad. Just wanted to let you know that regarding Poglings you should take your time and not worry about us. We support your efforts because we know you’ve got this! We’re a patient group of people so don’t rush anything. We all support you Chad!

[@ErisIsAnAbomination]

We’ve come full circle, guys. Chapstick entertained us with the Beanie Baby Apocalypse, and now we’re seeing it happen again in real time.

[@kagehikari4281]

I never bought in to this even way back then. "Get before they go back in the vault!" Yeah right. I could walk in to any goodwill or flea market and find them all over. Not so much now as I dont think goodwill sells vhs much anymore, but not that hard to find in reg second hands. Still see gobs of the dvds. Just because of my fondness for nostalgia, I probably have just about all thoes old movies in storage that I got over the years just to have. Thats there only value, nostalgia.

[@ericlooney6089]

This is for people who believe, since they haven't seen a VHS tape in decades, they're literally all gone

[@dandelionbritt]

I laughed out loud when I saw disney VHS tapes at $25 a pop in an "antique" shop a couple of years ago

[@sarahtelles1931]

Weird if any Disney VHS was worth a fortune it'd be the original release of The Rescuers, you know if someone chose to hang onto it instead of turn it in to be replaced by a later copy that took out the split second Nekkid lady

[@Metal_Groove45]

The only other Disney VHS tapes I find of decent value are the old Neon Mickey VHS tapes!

[@OriginalRyGuy]

Only one vhs tape should make you thousands. That is the 2006 Disney Movie Club exclusive Cars

[@MegaDoomdoomDoom]

Weird that they’re talking about Disney tapes and not anime tapes. I used to be able to find anime vhs tapes for cheap ($1 or less) 10 years ago. Now, they’re sold for much higher than they’re worth. Which stinks, as there are a lot of obscure series/OVAs that never made the jump to DVD in the US

[@randomreviews4278]

13:54 I don't get it. What's wrong with the music man

[@lanceams483]

Collectors will know not everything's value goes up over time. I personally collect Toy to Life figures in my spare time and can tell you for a fact that 90% of the figures out there (that aren't Amiibo lol) are selling for less than their asking price. The only figures selling for their original price or more are - you guessed it - figures that were sold in low quantities or are made exclusive like chase variants. Sometimes a 50 year old copper coin is still just a penny.

[@andyvella4077]

I always knew Disney sucked

Do you want an award? Reddit gold perhaps?

Wake up babe new Chapstick just dropped

I found a box of most of the vhs talked about by the dumpster yesterday

[@filmcritic371]

I have every Disney VHS and I only paid a dollar for each tape I found

[@mavortius8768]

I have been thinking of buying older copies of Disney movies. Not for any monetary reason though. It is mostly because I keep hearing people talk about how Disney keeps changing their movies for newer releases and on Disney+ while I want the ones I grew up with.

[@Kazakhstanball678]

I used to have Disney movies on VHS, but we threw them away We actually had an Aladdin VHS that was diamond if I remember.

[@PatricS123]

I tried informing a friend of mine but miss information runs the world

[@lazerbeam3]

My best friend and I have been on a multi year journey to collect every Disney VHS tape there is and we never pay more then $1 for a tape and that's if the stores just being pricey. Great video really related to myself with it.

[@AutisticKidWhoSwears]

Hey Chadtronic have you ever heard of Kid Nation? It was a reality show back in 2007 where 40 kids and 8 to 15 were abandoned in a New Mexico ghost town in the desert. Bad idea, I know. Thankfully it got cancelled after one season. I'd love to see a video about this!

[@ArcRay20]

so basically, this whole situation is "what is your source?" "our source is that we made it the fuck up."

[@TimberJackEB]

I believe we got rid of our VHS Tapes. Not worth a lot when they're big, bulk, degrade easily and DVDs are so much more efficient.
