All I want is 'Aladdin' and 'The Jungle Book' on DVD, but they're both out of print and the only copies I can find on Ebay are about £30-40. According to release schedules Aladdin is out on R1 DVD at the end of the year on a super special edition type thingy, but why?

These are 2 of Disney's most popular films yet they're so bloody hard to get hold of. There's copies of other Disney films in similiar situations on Ebay that have been out of print for a while, going for about £60 a piece. Why don't Disney keep these sodding titles in print and stop deleting them after a couple of months shelf life?

For a company that make kids films, they really know how to cash-in and to be honest I think it stinks.

How are they "cashing in"?

Because they delete them, then re-release them in super special editions, then delete them again. People realise that Disney DVD's are quite rare so run out and buy every single different version they can get their hands on.

Oh and another way Disney are cashing in, is by releasing sequels to some of the old classics. They've pretty much (other than the Pixar films) run out of creative juices so they've started churning out crap like Peter Pan 2, Lady and the Tramp 2 etc etc

Disney really aren't the company they used to be.

Last time I counted there were 11 sequels of Disney animated movies. I thought it was classy that they didnt do any sequels to the Lion King because it did so well ~_~ I guess I was wrong as the 3rd one is out now. Must they go back and do sequels of everything.

Aladdin, was never released onto DVD. It's being released as a 2 discer Platinum Edtion, and an uber box set in October and Jungle Book is being released a Platinum 2 discer late 2005/ early 2006.

They're doing it to all 35 of the 'Classics'
They don't just lump a load of extras on the discs they've re-mastered the movies too with THX sound add extra songs (even though they're crap) (Beauty and the Beast exculded) and everything.

Ooo!! Yay!
