It would make more sense to buy a set fo five or six movies, in other words, then a lot of separate DVDs. Thanks for any information anyone can supply!!!

Now is a good time to look, as the holiday season is when retailers stock up on gift sets, so good luck.

Not only that, they had the gall to put in Lion King 2 instead of the original film. Not exactly the same caliber work as the other truly classic films in the set.

These were pretty much no-frills DVD's, and you're better off buying the newer versions of each film in that set.
