Do vaulted titltes differ from country to country?

Looking at Disney's UK site

these are the current vaulted titles (I found the list in the DVD section so it might not hold true for blu-ray)

http://www.disney.co.uk/DisneyDVDs/index.html?pageId=dvd&datastr=N*vault

101 Dalmations
Bambi
Beauty & the Beast
Cinderella
Fantasia *
Jungle Book *
Lady & The Tramp *
The Lion King
The Little Mermaid *
Peter Pan *
Pinnochio
Sleeping Beauty
Snow White

(There were a couple of others)

* Out or annouced for BR steelbooks.

Of course what it could simply mean is that titles like Jungle Book and TLM have been vaulted since the steelbook release and titles like Peter Man and Fantasia are coming out.

Disney UK Vault was only for DVD
Disney UK now can release what they want on Blu-ray its up to them as its not controled by Disney in America
Disney USA Vault includes Both DVD and Blu-ray and that list really is the USA Vault

Snow White and Lion King Disney/Beauty & the Beast in UK is no longer on general release(cant be re ordered ) but you can still get them very easy on Blu Ray as some shops and online stores still have stock listed

There is noting stopping Disney UK from releasing any title on Blu Ray so long as it does not include the DVD
If you notice apart from Lion King and Snow White/Beauty & the Beast most from that list is still on general release on Blu Ray

The Vaulted titles in USA is not relevant to the UK
Bambi got re release this year blu ray on 4th March 2013 and is still available to order as no dvd is included
Disney UK can release what they want so you can expect next year lot more releases and re releases with more steelbooks arriving
Disney UK can decide if a title is on general release or if its deleted from general release
What titles they choose to make unavailable is up to them and they can decide to change to a re issue of a title

The Vault was just a marketing tool to increase sales of the classic titles making them unavailable and then later re release to create more sales

I think they should do away with all vault status worldwide and keep all Disney releases available
They can then every few years do a re issue with new extras and packaging to replace previous releases

In my opinion with Disney Channel showing most if not all films its pointless to me to still have the Vault and all should be available to purchase with special limited releases getting a release that are different than standard release example been a steelbook release or digibook release etc

there is definitely a uk disney vault system. i get emails (from disney movie rewards uk) telling me movies are about to go back in the vault. eg got one last year telling me i had 4 weeks to buy lion king.

you're right about the vault list being different to that of the usa. disney haven't made new copies of sleeping beauty, lion king, beauty & the beast or snow white for years. and i guarantee after a few months jungle book & little mermaid will dissapear too.

even when the zavvi disney steelbook 'partnership' began wreck did some investigating with zavvi, and was told that uk vaulted titles were off limits. eg beauty and the beast, snow white etc. so dont know where you got the idea the vault is just a us thing. they do it across europe & in australia too.

Yes they still vault titles but Disney UK have total control as to what is withdrawn from release or to decide to re issue a title (except cant for now re release sleeping beauty, lion king, beauty & the beast or snow white)
Disney UK is not the same as USA strict vault time as to when a title can be considered for a re release
Disney across europe & in australia etc again is not the same as UK decisions on a title as we have seen each location has same or different titles available or not available

the vault process for the uk and us is IDENTICAL. The key differences lies in the titles that are selected to be vaulted or when they're taken out the vault.

Disney uk's vault list may differ but disney uk DOES operate a strict vault time like the us. it'll be at least 5 years before beauty & the beast or snow white become available again. the only exception to this would be if disney wanted to celebrate an anniversary (eg lion king could be rereleased in 2014 to celebrate its 20th anniversary)

the only thing disney uk has a say on is what goes into the vault (much like the us) eg lady and the tramp went back in the vault last may in the usa, however it remains available in the uk.

or when titles go out, eg uk gets jungle book 8 or so months before the us does. however when JB eventually ends up back in the vault(in uk & us) they'll spend at least 5-7 years in the vault...in both regions.

its not a case of disney uk can choose to reprint vaulted titles whenever they see fit. they just choose what goes in...however

snow white, lion king, beauty and the beast,little mermaid, jungle book & sleeping beauty are always vaulted for several years world wide.

New members-pre-order available here for Dumbo and Peter Pan-part of the Disney collection.

"The Vault" is just Disney's cleaver way of saying something has gone out of print. No studio can keep all titles in print at all times always. It would be an impossible task to manufacture that many titles all at one time continuously, plus it would totally flood the market.

 

[MacLeod]

Plus it might stimulate some demand for when it is re-released. But anniversary's present a good opportunity for re-release though the 25th annivseary would be a better one to pick than the 20th in the case TLK. Just as 2017 would be a good one for the 80th Anniversary of Snow White.

Exactly....keep em' hungry.

And honestly, are you more likely to pick up something that you think you might not be able to buy next week or something that will always be available?

Disney are also far more strategic when it comes to the use of the 'vault'. Though it would be seemingly impossible to constantly manufacture copies of films, most of the biggest movies are constantly in circulation, getting re-releases with alt art work etc.

disney uses the vault concept to help keep the idea that their movies are special, magical something to be treasured. Also helps prevent over exposure, Its probably a big reason everyone holds the new disney steelbook releases so dearly.

It's strange to think in the past 15+ years snow white has only been on sale (new) for around 2-3 years. no other franchise does that.

 

[Steeler]

I made this a while back when Peter Pan was first released to blu and I was hoping for a steel. I've always wished they would use the original logos for these movies, I think they are way nicer than the generic gold embossed modern lettering. But I don't expect it will look anything like this.

Spoiler

wow, this looks so much better than that generic DVD art mockup! Well done

Which street corner will that be? Just asking for a friend.

:snipe::ass:

Pre-ordered Dumbo and Peter Pan too, looking forward to pre-ordering Lady & the Tramp . I love Peter Pan's art, and even if Tinkle Bell isn't glittering it won't bother me all that much, at least she's glowing.

People are giving the Dumbo steelbook a tough time because of Timothy being the same on both the front and back: it's exactly the same for Fantasia with another mouse, Mickey, because Zavvi put the exact same picture of him on the front and back, and no one complained about that. I must admit, in both cases, I am not a fan .

I'm one of the few people in the world who has never seen Peter Pan (not in full at least, or else I was very young and I don't remember).

Same thing with Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, The Sword in the Stone, Hercules and all the post-Tarzan (1999) films — minus Brother Bear, Tangled, and lately Frankenweenie & Wreck-It Ralph.

That steelbook will be a good occasion to catch up (sadly Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty will not be having a Zavvi edition if I understand correctly).

 

[wayne71]

For an ultra low print run im surprised this and dumbo are still available

 

[WKRP]

^ I cancelled both. Normally I'd be worried about these the moment they go out of stock, but because I already own collectibles of these titles, and the new art is not enough to double-dip (unlike Up).

 

[chilean]

I hope the change the artwork. It seems that Zavvi does very little with these releases. Kind of upset with this artwork.

 

[jimmyv]

I'm not. There's no coupon code. The coupon codes beget more sales.

 

[PG Flips]

I think this artwork is superb and has the potential to be something really special.

Deboss all of the red surrounding the title and leave Disney and Peter Pan raised. Please don't do a stupid, pointless, and ugly embossed border.
