Disney releasing R28,500 Blu-ray movie collection

The Walt Disney Company is releasing a limited edition 100-movie Blu-ray collection to celebrate its 100-year filmmaking history.
The Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection will feature 100 curated animated movies from the Disney and Pixar stables.
They include classics like its first-ever full-length feature film, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937, and go up to its most recent theatrical release — Elemental.
An announcement video for the product shows that the movie discs are divided across three hardbound books, which can be propped up with a self-standing mechanism.
Each movie’s original poster is featured alongside its disc.
In addition to the physical copies, Disney will provide digital codes for all the films.
Other items included in the package are a numbered certificate of authenticity, a collectable lithograph from Disney’s Wish, and crystal Mickey Mouse ears with an engraved “Disney 100” logo.
According to The Wrap, buyers will have to cough up a hefty $1,500 (R28,500, excluding sales taxes) for the package.
Not considering the additional items and the design of the books, it works out to R285 per movie — quite a bit more than the going rate of individual Blu-ray discs of Disney classics in South Africa.
