As Disney have strengthened their brand with the Disney vault, limiting the release of their classic films then putting them in the vault and increasing sales when VHS/DVD is released. This will prob change as we move more to digital files and digital vaults.
Disney is and always will be part of our childhood. Most people remember that they created some of the most iconic children's filmstrip have ever known. They have always tried to cash in on these with merchandise, theme parks and straight to video film sequels.
Most sequels were just rehashed versions of the main movie some were much better extensions of the series, Aladdin: King of Thieves comes to mind.
Disney have been on a bit of a spending spree on our child hood over past few years. They brought Pixar, then Marvel, Muppet's and most recently LucasFilm for the Star Wars Franchise.
They haven't just brought these childhood memories and put them in Disney vault they've taken the franchise and nurtured it. Making the franchise profitable in new ways and bringing the original mediums back to us in new ways. Marvel lets you buy all the original comics in digital form or subscribe to them all in Netflix way.
But whilst this is great I have one question In my mind.
Why don't disney release their TV cartoon series?
Disney have made some great short form cartoons that are part of our childhood. Most of which tied in with great films.
Aladdin, Timone and Pumba, Leilo and Stitch.
Some that had a loose base with characters or franchises.
Mighty ducks, Tailspin, duck tails, Chip 'n' Dale rescue rangers.
And finally there were original cartoons that stick in mind for their own right.
Wuzzles, Gummybears,Recess.
So with this wealth of children's television sat in Disney's vault it's only a matter of time before it should be released on to purchase in digital for or to watch on Netflix.
So Disney why not capitalise on our childhood one last time.
