It appears a few more titles may also be planned to be released as DMC Exclusives later in 2019.

 

Kirk contribute to the extras?

 

Wow, that's great -- what a terrific movie. I hope they did it in 2.55 scope!

 

That stripey sailer shirt Kirk Douglas wore seemed to give the sixties pop bands a slash of color ..Brian Jones etc

 

It’s great news this is finally making it to Blu-Ray but the fact it’s coming from the DMC likely means few if any extras. The old 2 disc dvd had a ton of great extras. Also, the restoration done almost a decade ago that this will likely be sourced from at is currently on iTunes has new, inaccurate color grading that favors teal and some digital wire removal during the squid battle scene.

 

When they used to show that on the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday night, I dropped whatever I was doing when I was a kid to watch. An all-time classic

 

Also In Search of the Castaways is coming to BR.

 

Do the Disney Movie Club discs ever become available for non-subscribers?

I would love to have this on BD, but I don't think I want to join the Disney Movie Club.

 

I've really wanted this for years! Can't see it now on the Disney Movie Club site but I'll keep checking up. Instant purchase for me.

 

This is what I fear will come to pass. I was hoping the iTunes version was not the true restored effort because the color is quite bad and I hoped a proper new release would be okay. Then perhaps the new release might finally elevate the film in the public’s eye to being the Disney landmark that it is. Aaaand after all these years they’re just going to dump it in the dmc probably with lossy audio so we can’t hear the restoration work properly. I finally rebought the dvd for the extras not too long ago to go along with the Archive collection Laserdisc.

I don’t think it’s too much to claim this as possibly the best film Disney ever produced and it’s so great that they’ve thankfully never managed to remake it despite trying several times. This is still a wonderous film for children and adults alike that doesn’t pull punches. And the level of risk of making this film in 1954 was so stratospheric that had it not been successful the company would have been over.
The last time I got dragged to Disney world, my only joy was in finding the one tiny bit of studio history which is now probably gone-a room with some animation cels, an Oscar, the Rocketeer pack and both an original diving helmet prop and one of the Nautilus scale models!!

 

At least the 2 disc DVD set is cheap, and is high quality.

I will wait for the BD reviews, and if they are good, I will be at the mercy of the eBay sellers.
