Anyone know if there is like a special Collectors Double I want my mummy edition coming out? I always try to buy those ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "GET OUT OF MY CHURCH!" --Friar Tuck

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy <Like Song of the South or Mama's Family? > 1), I have "Song of the South" on DVD, and 2), when I want to I can get my VHSes of "Mama" transferred to DVD, since the current DVDs have no incentive, as having NO extras. Now what's YOUR excuse for the Disney films on DVD? Which DO have MANY more bonuses than your little VHSes! ;-)
Originally Posted By jdub I saw "Mama's Family" DVD sets down at th' Target just last week. Yeah, really...

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I *do* want them on DVD... I'm just picky on how they're doing it, that's all. Sure it WOULD be nice if all the animated films got the Snow White or Beauty and the Beast treatment, but it probably won't happen. Besides, I probably wouldn't have time to watch them all anyway. Heck, I haven't even watched any of the Disney Treasures in a while. I haven't even had time to watch the episodes of South Park that I decided to TiVo...
