Disney returns to BluRay DVDs as streaming woes continue

Published

on

Disney enthusiasts and cinephiles alike are in for a treat as the entertainment giant prepares to launch a remarkable cinematic treasure trove.

Scheduled for release on November 14th, the “Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection” features a curated compilation of 100 beloved animated films, spanning Disney’s illustrious history.

Preorders for this spectacular Blu-ray collection will commence on September 18th, exclusively at Walmart.com, but there’s a price tag that might give prospective buyers pause – a hefty $1,500, as reported by The Wrap.

Classic movies

This mammoth collection encompasses a rich array of classics from both Disney and Pixar, neatly arranged into three volumes of discs. From the enchanting “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” which marked Disney’s animation debut in 1937, to the contemporary wonder of “Elemental” from this year, it’s a comprehensive journey through the evolution of animated storytelling.

What sets this collection apart is its commitment to quality over quantity. Disney aficionados will appreciate that it includes all the iconic titles they hold dear, such as the “Toy Story” series, both “Incredibles” films, “The Black Cauldron,” “Frankenweenie,” and “Robin Hood.” Remarkably absent are the forgettable, direct-to-video productions that have occasionally diluted Disney’s legacy.

Each volume unfolds like a storybook, featuring movie posters, release years, and character quotes. Purchasers will gain access to digital copies of each film.

To sweeten the deal, the collection includes a lithograph poster for Disney’s eagerly anticipated “Wish,” a numbered certificate of authenticity, and an exquisite crystal Mickey Mouse ears cap. Additionally, there are reports of 18 Blu-ray discs packed with bonus content from Pixar.

Gold prices fall over 2% to below $4,000, as investors shift from safe-haven assets after Gaza ceasefire news.


Gold prices have fallen sharply, dropping over two per cent to below $4,000 per ounce, as investors took profits following the announcement of a Gaza ceasefire agreement. The deal between Israel and Hamas triggered a shift away from safe-haven assets, with silver and platinum also sliding.

The U.S. dollar strengthened as markets responded to the news, making precious metals more expensive for foreign buyers. Analysts say the pullback is likely temporary, with long-term demand for gold and silver expected to remain strong amid global instability and rising debt levels.

Market experts warn that volatility will continue as geopolitical tensions persist, even as short-term optimism grows around the Middle East peace process.

Traders noted increased activity in the market as profit-taking coincided with reduced tensions in a historically volatile region.

An independent metals trader stated that while gold and silver may need to consolidate further, the underlying demand drivers remain intact.

Market Overview

Gold surpassed $4,000 per ounce on Wednesday, reaching $4,059.05, boosted by geopolitical tensions and strong demand from central banks. The asset has gained about 52% this year, reflecting a significant increase due to various economic factors. The U.S. central bank’s decision to cut rates in September also contributed to the rally, with expectations for future cuts in the coming months.

Silver’s price increase of 69% this year is tied closely to similar economic trends impacting gold. Notably, liquidity issues in the silver market are being exacerbated by strong demand and tight supply conditions. Other precious metals, such as platinum and palladium, also saw declines during this period.
