[...] on slow nights at home, usually based on what they’ve recently released on Blu-ray (next up: Fantasia). Anyway, click the link for a really thorough list of animated movies. [...]

That would explain why they created a movie-length documentary about it, then. I can understand why you’d be frustrated, if you don’t have Blu-ray access. We had the Legacy Collection, but since we never watched it, we sold it while it was out of print. So nice of Disney to support the resale market that way! :)

Destino was originally planned to have its own DVD release, but it was cancelled. Kind of annoying that the only way to get it now is with this Blu-Ray set (especially for me since I already have the Anthology/Legacy Collection and don't have a Blu-Ray player). Well, at least I've seen the short, during a Dali retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art some years back.

A screen decoration is a feature? Wow. Thanks for explaining that, but boy, that looks like padding the extras list.

Sorry, hit Submit accidentally early there.

The problem, though, is that when the action pans left and right, it’s odd to have those elements “blocking” the action, like they’re elements in the extreme foreground.

Or maybe I’m just a whiney purist.

Saw what Disney View is on the Snow White Blu-ray this weekend. They have an artist do a decorative painting that sits in the black borders of your widescreen tv. Back in the days of plasma burn-in, that might have been handy. It does impact the original aspect ratio of the film in any way, at least.
