Goddamn the stupid coupon printing restrictions!
I don't have a printer, and no one I know that I have access to has a printer, so I can't print the damned thing, haha.
What are the odds I can install the Disney printing software download on a Kinko's computer? lol
This'll stop me from buying Bambi tomorrow, likely.

They did for the most part. Look at my collection photo from a few pages back and you'll see what I mean.
Also, the new promotion started today. This is part of a larger promotion they have running over the next few months with smaller promotions during the course. (The main promotion is the contest to win tickets to D23 and a Disney Blu Ray catalogue)

Bambi comes out today!
I might not be able to make it to Best Buy today, but damn it, I'm going to try.
And for those of you going out to buy it, don't forget about the coupon.

I finally got Sleeping Beauty on blu some time ago (only one store that was in driving distance had it left.) and watched it.
Man, I dont think Ive seen that movie since my childhood, but it was a revelation. The movie is astoundingly beautiful, I think it might have the most gorgeous art of any Disney movie ever. The movie is also just so resoundingly uplifting and simple. It really puts a smile on your face (when your jaw isnt on the floor due to the artistry)

I accidentally found a comp on campus that allows me to install software without admin restrictions with a networked printer, so I finally printed some of these coupons out, yay haha.
What are the odds I can persuade a salesperson to let me use this expired Alice in Wonderland coupon from February?

The simplicity is what bothers me about Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. The characters are just so not fleshed out. It's truly a fairy-tale displayed on your TV screen.Dead said:

I just picked up Bambi for about $14 from Best Buy. I'm looking forward to watching it tonight. It's been ages.
It cannot be stated enough - it is imperative to get these when they first come out. Not only because you never know when they're going to disappear, but because you get crazy good deals on them.

Picked up Bambi today - no deals as good as US ones here, but $20 after coupon isn't terrible (it's what I've paid for the last few Disney Blu-rays). Future Shop also threw in a (really badly bound) copy of the Bambi Golden Book, which is nice as I can give it to my daughter and she's free to destroy it if she so wishes.
Unfortunately, I've missed some of the releases and I'm dreading what they might cost now - as far as I know I'm missing Snow White, Dumbo, and Sleeping Beauty (has Pinocchio also come out?). I have less of a fondness for some of the older Disney movies, but Alice in Wonderland and Bambi have made me realize that I'd like to have a full collection either way.

I found it interesting that they mention the coupon in their weekly ad. Well why not? The mouse is paying for it.Wario64 said:
I might even get the $4.99 lunchbox for my daughter . . . she keeps losing her lunch boxes.
Not sure if it's the first movie to do this, but apparently Bambi has the second screen sync thing so you sync stuff on your iPad or whatever device while the movie is playing. Anyone try it yet? Tron Legacy is suppose to have this feature too when it comes out next month
Great success on getting a lovely sales-lady to honor the expired Alice coupon. That and Bambi together with coupons still set me back $45 after tax. Alas, Canadian pricing and Ontario taxes. Still feel like I got a deal though, haha, especially with landing Snow White from amazon last year for $17 cdn shipped and finding a store in Toronto selling Burton's Alice for $10 for some reason.

I was about to mention it. I'm trying it out as we speak.Wario64 said:
It's pretty freaking cool. My laptop is old and shitty and its mic can't pick up anything, but it's pretty easy to sync it manually.
Very, very cool.

damn, i can't get amazon to accept any of those coupons. I must always get the wrong guy. So annoying! I don't have a car, so the other usual suspects are not practical for me.
How did you guys get them to accept the coupon? If I tell them I'd like to honor the coupon, they say it's not on the product webpage, and thus amazon can't accept them. If i reply, I'd rather buy at amazon than at the competition, which i'll be forced to, they just say they are sorry.
I guess I could make a trip to best buy just out of principle, but damn this is annoying.

It's not the Disney coupon that they're honoring. It's the $10 off thing they had back in Oct/Nov of last year. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Amazon doesn't accept coupons...harriet the spy said:
It was 24.99 last year and they had a $10 off promo for some reason back then. I ordered it then and had it price matched to 22.99 before it shipped. So I got it for 12.99 tax/shipping free. <3 Amazon.

I don't think it's a widescreen film.Beezy said:

Yeah, widescreen movies were a rarity until the mid-50s or so.
If you still need Cars, or want one of the new Cars combo packs, Amazon has a limited time deal available.
Preorder The Incredibles and also buy Cars for $24.99 and get $10 off of the order total.
$29.99 for the Incredibles and $14.99 for Cars would be your end total. (You can always buy both, let Cars ship, and then cancel the Incredibles)

Yep. There were a actually a few widescreen movies made in the 20ies, but the depression put an end to that. Widescreen was reintroduced in 1953 by Hollywood to combat television. Every movie made before 1953 is in the Academy ratio of 1.375:1. It took Hollywood a couple of years to switch to widescreen. There were still lots and lots of movies being made in the Academy Ratio (and even black and white) just because it was so much cheaper.

Just because it isn't widescreen doesn't mean it's somehow an inferior film. That's just the aspect ratio in which films were made back then.Beezy said:
Would you prefer the hack job they did on The Jungle Book, where they chopped off the top of the 4:3 frames and made it into "widescreen?"

Aladdin was on the Disney channel in HD today. Looked great! BrIng on the Bluray!
Tron Legacy Five Disc showed up in my Gold Box today.
Just opened up a chat. They canceled my original order with the $5.00 off promo from awhile ago, let me place a new order, and then applied a $5.00 discount to my new order =D
Item(s) Subtotal: $49.99
Shipping & Handling: $0.00
Gold Box Discount: -$2.50
Promotion Applied: -$5.00
-----
Total Before Tax: $42.49
Estimated Tax To Be Collected: $0.00
-----
Grand Total: $42.49
Still, if Disney offers $8-$10 off of the four disc, and the same off of Tron The Original Classic, that will probably be a better deal.
Hopefully we'll have coupon details soon. If they decide to not release any coupons though I think I'll be set with the above price =D (But if they want to sell this release to the general public they're going to need coupons)

Anyone know how much Nausicaa will be without the coupon? I haven't seen it listed in any ads and on Best Buy and Targets websites they list it at $30. I guess a better question is will they have it? Most Disney titles seem to get advertised, but this has been vacant except for on Amazon.

Damn, Disney.com's $10 off Nausicaa promotion expired last night!
Edit: Would there be any way to recover the printable coupon for those that missed out on the offer?
