It’s no secret that my family loves Disney movies. As soon as one is available on Blu-ray, we always make sure to buy it. That’s especially true for any titles that are released from the Disney vault- you just have to grab them before it’s too late! That’s why my husband and I were so excited to see three recent releases made by Disney Home Entertainment!
My husband and I have a special connection with all three of these films. My husband LOVES The Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood. He traveled a lot as a kid, but he had copies of the movies on VHS and would watch them over and over. He was so excited to introduce our 5 year old to these movies. As for me, I grew up watching Oliver and Company. I had a stuffed orange Oliver and would bring him everywhere with me. I might have been the only 5 year old that was one of Billy Joel’s biggest fans also. Watching Oliver and Company with my 5 year old son when I first originally watched it at 5 was truly a special moment for me!
The Sword in the Stone
The Sword in the Stone is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary with the release of the movie on Blu-ray, which is just full of great features!
You’ll follow the journey of a young orphan named “Wart” and the extraordinary wizard Merlin. According to legend, only someone with the purest character and inner strength can pull the enchanted sword from the stone and claim the throne of England. Armed with new found confidence and the power of friendship, Wart discovers his destiny and learns the best magic is the kind you find inside yourself.
Some fun features that you will find are an alternative opening sequence where Wart meets Merlin, the option to watch the entire movie in “sing-along mode”, a behind the scenes look with The Sherman Brothers, the Brave Little Toaster short and more!
Robin Hood
Oo-de-lally! Robin Hood is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary! My son has watched this numerous times since we received it and I jusst love how each generation appreciates this great film!
Join Robin Hood, his trusted companion Little John and his hilarious band of Merry Men as they outfox greedy Prince John to save the good people of Nottingham. Dashing from one daring deed to the next, Robin won’t rest until he wins the hand of Maid Marian and restores King Richard to the throne.
The Robin Hood Blu-ray has some great features like a deleted storyline called “Love Letters”, an alternate ending, a Mickey Mouse short cartoon called Ye Olden Days and of course sing-alongs! Who can’t help but sing along to these great songs – Robin Hood and Little John were walking through the forest…..
Oliver and Company
A personal favorite of mine, I was so excited to watch Oliver and Company on Blu-ray! It truly looks amazing on the screen, you can tell Disney did a great job on the restoration!
In the heart of New York City, Oliver, a mischievous orphaned kitten, is befriended by Dodger, a carefree pooch and his ragtag family of misfit mutts. Life gets even better for Oliver when he is adopted by a lonely little girl named Jenny. But when tough guy Sykes and his Doberman sidekicks try to keep Jenny and Oliver apart, the spirited kitten and his newfound friends discover the meaning of courage and find a home where they truly belong.
There aren’t as many features on this Blu-ray that I would have liked but you can still enjoy the two animated shorts, ‘Lend a Paw’ and ‘Puss Cafe. Of course, there is a sing-along version of the film too!
The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood and Oliver and Company are all available on Blu-ray and DVD now! Which blu-ray are you looking forward to watching the most?
