Mill Creek to distribute hundreds of Disney properties on DVD, and Blu-Ray (1 Viewer)

[JPCinema]

I'm hoping for some classic Fox films,

Wonder if this will include the big 80's comedies Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune, and Down & Out in Beverly Hills?

Let's hope. I'm also hoping they will include Lawrence Kasdan's Grand Canyon, his 1990's ensemble dramedy about living in Los Angeles, featuring Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Steve Martin, Alfre Woodard, Mary McDonnell, and a teenage Jeremy Sisto. This was made at Fox.

It has only appeared on Blu-ray once, licensed out to Anchor Bay in 2012 for about six months, and is selling "new" for $49.99 on Amazon from third parties.

I wonder if 12 O'clock High would be coming? It did just land on Prime.

Wow! I did not know this, thanks!

 

[Todd Erwin]

I did see that Walt Disney Studios was not on the list, though, so don't expect any deep Disney back catalog live-action titles.

I hoping for some classic Fox films,

The Best Things in Life Are Free would top my list.

 

[Sam Favate]

As recently mentioned in another thread, Fox’s Johnny Dangerously would be welcome. It’s never been on Blu-ray.

Drat! Now, I'm going to have to look up what "cromulent" means?

The Selznick films Disney has? Will stick with the KINOS on them - The Farmers Daughter - Since You Went Away - Portrait of Jennie etc

I am PRAYING that this means that the uncut 1973 version of Miracle on 34th street will be released on physical media. In addition, I hope the remaining seasons of The Practice will be released on physical media

Some more details from the Digital Bits that seem to confirm my earlier guess:

First, this deal does NOT include 4K Ultra HD titles.

This deal also does not include new content, new transfers, or new remasters.

The total number of titles to expect is in the 100-200 range.

These are largely deep catalog tiles only.(Think tiles like: Mystery Alaska, In the Army Now, Transporter 2, Houseguest, etc.)

I know there will be people getting their hopes up that some obscure one season drama from 1957 gets released...

As long as we get The Tracer or The 20th Century Fox Hour I don’t care what else comes out.


Gary “might we get VTTBOTS, or the remaining seasons of The Fall Guy, or an unreleased gem like 12‘O Clock High, Follow the Sun or the original Mickey Mouse Club?” O.

P.S. As I was composing my post Josh dashed my hopes with the Digital Bits update, although I figured that would be the case even before he broke the news.

Burke's Law Season 2.

Count me in for this also, along with Amos Burke Secret Agent if that would be possible.

Too bad, sounds like Dollar Tree fodder.

Our hopes quickly dashed

The TV Series end still sounds hopeful at least.

Some more details from the Digital Bits that seem to confirm my earlier guess:

So the no "new transfers" would knock out the hopes of some TV shows upgrading to Blu-ray then? Or would something they have an existing HD transfer of not fall into that category?

 

[ScottRE]

They may just stick with shows that have had that work done already.

The Digital Bits announcement also states:

Titles that were previously released on DVD will be re-issued on DVD, and titles previously issued on Blu-ray will be re-released on Blu-ray—there will be no format upgrades.

Bummer...

 

[AlanP]

I missed Twilight Time's "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing " on Blu Ray. I hope this will happen.......

So basically, unless you missed out on something out of print, this is nothing to get excited over.
