While I agree that the previous vault concept no longer works, there may still be ways for Disney to call attention to their classic movies on some sort of cycling schedule. Perhaps adding a classic film to Netflix for just one month or showing it several times in a single month on their tv network would do the job of promoting their entire filmography nowadays.
@MidwaytoMainStreet7 жыл бұрын
I think this is an interesting idea. There definitely is value in making a special occasion out of the films, but I don't know if limiting access to them is the way to do it in this modern age. Perhaps they can pick years to highlight the films and sell/offer supplemental content during that window. A documentary or behind-the-scenes specials. Stuff like that. Or maybe the path to take would be to let these films live on the home video market untouched, and then go back to limited theatrical runs every 7-10 years so people can experience it on the big screen if they want.

I always love all the extra bonus content that gets added to DVDs. I'd buy DVDs of my favorite classics just for that. Also, I think there's definitely a market for people wanting to see classic Disney films rereleased in theaters. I mean, I saw Lion King twice and Beauty and the Beast 3 times when both of those were rereleased in 3D (the 3D was not in any way a draw either) and I know lots of people went and saw them several times as well. I think even having the sing along showings in theaters is awesome and would draw a lot of people. Seeing films in theaters is an experience, and it's one I'm sure people would pay for.

They do a form of it in Australian Netflix. but rather than 7 years old, its 7 months old. So if you missed it in theatre, you can watch it. They only do one film at a time under this section. And they alternate between Disney films previously released, to older ones and classics. Also in another form, they have re-releasd some Pixar films in theatre -but with 3D (like Nemo 3D). So the vault idea is still there, its just in a more modern context and has been reformed and edited for that context - I guess...

Something Disney seems to be keeping in the vault for now are their classic short cartoons. In the early 2000s they put out some excellent DVD sets aimed at collectors with a great selection of these cartoons in restored quality. The sets are long out of print and I don't see anything comparable available today. The shorts are so important to Disney's history, the evolution of their animation style and the popularity of Mickey, Donald, and the other classic characters. They should make them more available to audiences today.

I think keeping the Vault system rather encourages piracy. Can't get it in stores? Too expensive online because the last release was so long ago? Can't get it at your library because the waitlist stretches for months? It becomes increasingly easy for someone to justify pirating it. Also have to think, way back then, people didn't have anywhere near the media exposure - how many families even had a TV? When VCRs were new, I'm sure they were just as expensive as when DVD players were new. It wasn't something everyone had. These days, you either have Netflix (or something like it), or know someone who does. Just about everyone has some form of a DVD player. People watch things at other people's houses far more often, because it's more accessible. My point in this is that: if someone has a "locked-away" Disney movie, and their kids and their kids' friends can see it at any time, there's no 7-10 year gap of uninitiated Disney fans. Also take into account the internet with its memes, jokes, and ever-growing library of inside jokes and base knowledge. How many of those do you see on FB or wherever are from a Disney movie you saw as a kid? Or even saw a few years ago? Even if the kids aren't seeing the movies at someone's house, if they're online at ALL, then they're aware of movies, so again, it's not like we have entire decades where kids have never seen a single frame from Aladdin or Lion King.

Great question! I'm hoping that the ride of VOD/streaming along with the pressure Disney is feeling right now with cord-cutting and ESPN pushes them to eventually drop the vault concept altogether. We're not seeing new films being added to the vault which is great, and you can even get a lot of the vault films on digital. Now it's just a matter of pulling out the concept for hard copies for the future.
@satchmo19917 жыл бұрын

Since we're on the subject: If they phase out the vault concept with hard copies of their movies, what do you think they will or should do to keep selling the movies over time? I imagine they will then be more reliant on anniversary editions of the movies to sell to collectors and people who want bonus material and such.
@MidwaytoMainStreet7 жыл бұрын
Another good question, and one with a really foggy answer. I think a lot of that depends on what the state of hard copy entertainment looks like down the road. At the rate we're moving it feels like we won't even need to depend on anniversary editions because every 10 years we'll just have a new medium to put the film out on (4K Blu Ray? 8k Blu Ray?) Then of course there's the big question of if we'll ever reach a point where hard media isn't really a thing anymore. I feel like there much be a day in the future where digital copies become the majority and hard copies fall back to being a novelty.

I just subscribed to your channel yesterday and I'm loving your stuff. As for the Disney Vault, I'm torn on it. The vault makes a lot of sense from a business standpoint, but as a Disney fan I hate not being able to own my favorite Disney films on Blu-Ray until they decide to release the Platnium Edition for 50 dollars. I feel like I'd be more fine with it if the release was a shorter span, like every five years, and each film is out for one year. So, that way, there's a different line up of movies every year. But, that's likely not going to happen, because Disney really likes money, and this gives them lots of money. Although, I am glad that this is only for the Disney classics and not Pixar or Marvel.

Even as a kid, I called BS on the whole Disney Vault thing. "You're gonna lock this film up forever? Sure. Even if you do, the rental places still have them." And now at second-hand stores and such all those "gone forever" VHS releases are piled up high on shelves. Sold to them of course by people who upgraded to the newer releases. Most people only buy them for nostalgic purposes, or if there's something rare on the tape, like the pulled 1999 release of The Rescuers with the hidden nude woman in it (which I actually found at a store; paid only $2 for it). (Frankly, what I really want is the original VHS release of A Goofy Movie with that Dr. Loony's Remedy thing at the beginning. As far as I'm concerned it's part and parcel of my experience of that film. Must be the same for other people too, because I CAN'T FIND IT. )

An argument I've been making for years is that no matter how much TV improves,it will never replace seeing a movie theatrically. The fact that movie theaters still exist some 60-odd years after TV first came into our homes would seem to support this.

I know I'm not the only one who has scoured the internet looking for old Disney shows that I remember watching as a kid and only find a few episodes instead of the whole series. Shows like The Famous Jett Jackson, The Jersey, So Weird, Pepper Ann, Disney's Doug, PB&J Otter, Teamo Supremo, and Teacher's Pet still elude me, so if I didn't believe that there were copies of the shows in the Disney Vault than I would just give up hope of ever seeing them again.

it does still provide a market today. typically when a film is considered vaulted by Disney, the secondary market price skyrockets. Now with Disney taking classics and converting them to CG and live action, it does give them a way to still use the vault. Take Beauty and the Beast. yes the new one is out, but the original is a timeless classic so when the new one released in theatres, Disney rereleased a diamond edition of the original on blu ray. its pretty effective for the most part with many of the films. trust me, I run a movie store.

Disney has used the word Classics to describe three types of feature-length films that include animation: Animated features that contain one continuous story; these are most-closely identified with the "Classics" label. Films made up of several shorter, self-contained animated stories. This includes the six package films produced from 1942 to 1949, most of which include live-action characters. Another example is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, released theatrically in 1977, which was a compilation of several shorter Winnie the Pooh films that had been released previously. Live action features which contain fully animated sequences or characters. Mary Poppins,So Dear to My Heart, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Pete's Dragon are examples. Some of the animated package films and live-action films featuring animation were released on home video in the early 1980s, such as The Three Caballeros and Fun and Fancy Free, but most of them were not big sellers. Disney's Classics category was originally defined during discussions for the April 18, 1983, launch of Disney Channel. While the people at Disney were looking through their inventory of films to see what was available for the new cable channel, they decided that they could air some fan-favorite films such as Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins, but that 15 other animated movies would never be aired. These 15 animated feature films - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Robin Hood, The Rescuers, and The Fox and the Hound - had only been shown at theaters, not television or any other format. These 15 movies laid the foundation upon which the Disney company was built. During each re-release to theaters (on a roughly seven-year cycle), they earned money comparable to new releases; it was thought the company would lose this revenue if they released the feature films on video or television. By the time the Masterpiece Collection replaced the Classics collection in the domestic market, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Aristocats were the only two of the original 15 classics that had not yet been re-released. All of the single-story animated features made by Disney were included in the list of 15 classics except for 2. The exceptions were Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland, both of which had been shown on television at the earliest opportunity. The Disneyland TV series began with The Disneyland Story, but the very next thing to be aired was Alice in Wonderland (broadcast November 3, 1954), which was edited to fit into the one-hour TV time slot. The following season began September 14, 1955, with a one-hour version of Dumbo. Both of these movies were released on video within the first two years of the creation of Walt Disney Home Video; the videos were only briefly available for rental before they became available for sale. Despite always being available, Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland have made millions of dollars in subsequent home video releases.

TV was certainly a rarity until after WWII came to a close, but there was television in 1944. Commercial broadcasting began as early as 1941.

This strategy works great! It is also an exact strategy Nintendo does with their games! Keeping quantities limited they are able to keep interest high and keep the market wanting their originals!

I remember going in to a DVD store relatively recently and this was recent enough that Disney movies weren't really on streaming. I remember Pete's Dragon and The Great Mouse Detective were like £30 now you can get them for almost nothing which is sad. I enjoyed the idea of the Disney Vault. A marketing ploy or not it made things less over saturated.

Which is why I believe the newest era of the “Disney Vault” will be the culmination of their new streaming service, Disney+.

Disney will launch a streaming service in 2019. I hope they will include all the classics. In the UK Disney ended the vault. They have this streaming service called DisneyLife where you can literally stream all the Disney movies. It makes me wish I lived in the UK. Also all of the Disney movies are available to buy at full time in the UK (I looked on the Disney UK website). Ugh you have no idea how jealous I am of the UK. 😑

The Disney Vault is still in existence and Song of the South is locked away in there. I mean, when you think about it, am I wrong? They took it off the market and kept it.

What is your opinion on Disney not rereleasing all of their classic animated movies in these cycles? For example, I don't think I've seen special editions of The Black Cauldron, Make Mine Music, and Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad on shelves in new editions for quite a long time.

Holy shit. I never really internalized that VHS only really became a big thing in the 80s, and that before that, TV or going the theatres was basically it. Wow.

They can rerelease to home video every 7-10 years because by that time the media will have changed. Who here doesn't have their favorite Disney film on VHS, DVD, and bluray? And Disney is now finally good at airing movies that haven't been released in a while on its cable channels. What 4yo is going to want Cinderella merchandise if they have to wait for its rerelease to home video? They could be in middle school by then! Merchandising is a much bigger deal now than last century, and I think that's why they're better at providing the movie.

Honestly watching films in theatres is NOTHING like watching it at home. I go to see classic filns rereleased in the theatre because the collective viewing experience is fun. I never picked up on the funny moments of Universal's 1931 version of Dracula until I saw it with 100 people as opposed to just myself at home. People enjoy both! Disney should realize that.

As long as there are better, higher resolution video formats coming out, they'll make money remastering and re-releasing movies! In the next few years, they'll start doing 4K Blu-ray remasters and people will keep buying them from the "vault"
