I saw the vault thing when I was little but didn't know what it was. In 2015 I went to the Disney store and asked what movies they said they only frozen and the avengers movie. I asked where I could get beauty and the beast and they said i couldn't because it was in the vault. That was the day I learned that life was full of disappointments
I always assumed the vault was just a euphemism for "These movies are in limited supply so go buy them before we quit making them." Even when I was a kid I just assumed that there was no actual vault.
the vault doesn't work anymore. it may have worked before there was internet, but now you can find every movie in "the vault" for free on the internet or you can buy a secondhand dvd from someone who did get it during a brief release from the vault (usually on ebay). in either case, Disney makes no money from that movie. so literally, all the Disney vault is currently doing is keeping Disney from making money.
But I think now they release those films with deleted scenes and other material like earlier versions, or how did they did it, so people who wants to look at that should have to buy the film.
clericofchaos1 I suppose sometimes is more comfortable to play the blue ray and watch the whole thing without bothering to look for it. And for non english speakers those extras would be dubbed or with subst. And I don't know about Disney, but I got a Titanic special edition that came with photographs and stuff, so is a thing they can easily do (with sketches or whatever)
right, but even those special editions can be bought on ebay after the vault has closed. so, again, there's no point in the vault. it only keeps Disney from making money at this point.
Yeah. I imported the Toy Story trilogy on Blu ray from the UK for the same price for just one of the movies in the US. I really wish Disney would release cheaper versions that aren't combo packs.
When I was in a film class in high school we went to the Warner Brothers studio and toured their props building, which goes about 40 stories under ground. And, we went to Burbank and toured the "Disney Vault" which was pretty cool.
ChannelFrederator It was a lot of fun. We even got to sit on the couch from Friends. And, apparently, all the movie studios world wide check out props from the Warner Brothers studio. Even Disney.
Mɪᴄʜᴀᴇʟ Kɪʟʟᴇʏ No. We weren't allowed. I did take pictures of other stuff we saw though. Like, the set of friends, and the original Harry Potter props.
Hey Fredarator! Dave Smith is a friend of mine, and I'd say the Archives definitely qualifies as a 'vault'. Not just for film, which they have a ton of, but just about every single Disney created item ever made. Its truly amazing. Dave's the guy to talk to if you're looking for anything Disney! He retired a few years back but is still involved with the company in some capacity. He definitely does stuff at D23, and I think he still does an Ask Dave column, where you can submit questions for him to answer.
With the Disney plus service, I think the idea of a "Disney Vault" might be a thing of the past soon (although thanks to amazon, ebay and charity shops, it's easier to buy films that aren't currently released).
Love this video. I remember watching Disney in the early 2000's when they were making the transition from VHS to DVD releases. I would get so hyped about having Disney movies to play in my family's DVD player and would worry about the vault. My dad always told me the vault was total BS, but I still believed it until I was about 8.
Okay, Goofy is to Tarzan as Pluto is to Cheetah. Tarzan and Cheetah are both in the family Hominidea v.s Goofy and Pluto are (surmise) in the family Canidae. It just not that hard of an idea to get around.
I am surprised that a few things weren't touched upon-features and improvements in film transfers. For example, early DVD releases from the 1990s were more compressed to fit on single-layer discs with more compression artifacts. Many of these discs are still stamped out for bargain-bin fodder. The mastering for those are not suitable for later DVDs, nor for hi-def formats. Disney also likes to use the latest teen sensations to sing their classic songs and add new music videos to most of their musicals. This keeps them relevant to the young 'tween' audience. Other features like long-lost deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes docs are also often exclusive to a single release or format, encouraging multiple copies for collectors. Casual viewers might also buy a copy with a new cover, forgetting that they already own a perfectly great copy. It was a great video here, though. I loved it!
Does the vault actually exist, what if it's just our imagination. Or maybe it's secret lab hidden underground in the core of the earth.Probably just a secret warehouse, of collectibles everyone wants!!! Or it is?? Awesome video!! Love you vid ChannelFred!!
Surprisingly we ended up seeing that video after we decided to do this one, but while we were in pre-production. They tackle the subject differently, but we loved their video and mentioned it in this one. - Jeremy
You could just get it preowned???? For example: recently, I bought Aladdin on 2 disk dvd for round about £2, and it was untouched, still was in its cellophane wrapping. Of course I got it out of there. I want to watch it, not leave it on a shelf. I also found before that The Lion King trilogy on blu ray for £1.50. I'll keep the first one and probably sell the other two.
Fantasia is released as a separate "Special Edition" along with its sequel every 10 years as a "momentous" occasion. Keeping with the initial intention to release the original film for ten years as an 'event'. Despite this, like Alice, the film has been announced at one point as a Diamond/Platinum release. It has been "officially" put in the Vault in 2011 but was available on Netflix until January 5, 2018. Alice in Wonderland and Dumbo were among the first movies to be released on home video. Keeping the "tradition" of their success on television and therefore its seldom theatrical releases; they were among the first Disney films to be released on TV (chosen because Dumbo's short length made it palatable, and Alice because it was initially a disappointment). Disney has kept a "tradition" of keeping them out of the vault, despite the fact that they are very successful and critically acclaimed, equivocal to that of movie in the Disney Vault. However, at the end of the 2000's they were both announced to be released on Platinum/Diamond edition. Nonetheless, they were only released on a Special Edition. Today they are currently available on digital and occasionally on certain streaming devices but are incredibly hard to find in stores. Aladdin was put into the vault and unavailable on DVD for a long time before its 2015 Blu-ray release. However it has been aired on television and was available on some "on demand" devices during this time. Pinocchio was announced to be a part of the Diamond line up but has been canceled for unknown reasons.
I always thought of the 'Disney Vault' as a marketing ploy, but it's Disney. You can find old copies of their works at parent's or friend's house if you don't have it so it's kind of moot. The only real reason to buy one is if you don't already have it or you want an updated copy to replace that old VHS tape or scratched DVD that doesn't play right anymore. They'll probably keep using it with their streaming service too and only have certain movies available for limited times on it.
The simple answer is that everything has been remastered and digitized and is stored on a server farm, which is very true. The archives or vaults are where the original reels and artworks exist. However, they generally don't use these reels anymore especially for movies and cartoons that were colored/created on/by computer on the Disney CAPS software. CAPS isn't used anymore either to create or color the cartoons, etc, but instead used to read films and cartoons that were made using CAPS as only one CAPS system exists now. When CAPS was no longer used, a more leading industry standard software was used to color cartoons and/or create CGI films/cartoons. Hope this helps!
I think the vault, aside from marketing alone, is also a way for Disney to help keep copyright infringement material down to some degree. While other's will say that hasn't prevented anything, which I agree, it also helps keep the stream of material down from people say, making illegal bootlegs of the Disney films. By having it out for a period of time, it allows people to grab the films before they get pulled back. So if someone did want to say, bootleg the film, then they would need to get it before this time frame. It is really hard to say if that is part of the reason, but I think in that term of thinking it kind of makes sense. Though since it's easier to bootleg or even stream illegally, the vault really serves less purpose aside from taking it store shelves. Though, you can still purchase online through amazon I believe. :/
This gives me a good idea. Since I doodle lots of characters, ideas, and concepts on paper. I should (at some point) make my own vault full of important things
They're also shooting themselves in the foot with the whole process. By limiting or stopping releases this encourages some folk to rip and copy/torrent and file share. Fortunately I own most of the (popular) Disney/Pixar movies in case they just vanish from store shelves. The first I can recall was _Tron_ which suddenly went POOF a while before _Tron:Legacy_ hit theaters... then for some reason so did _Lion King 2_ which is one of their best sequels ever. Amazon had them for $200+.
I saw the vault with the film reels 21 years ago. At the time, they had thought of tearing it down, but it was more than it was worth. That's why that area became the archives that held all of that other stuff besides film reels. The film reels have components t and t, which could cause an explosion if there were an earthquake. They have safeguards in place to avoid that. I remember being shown an original film reel of Snpw White that was in the vault.
10:36 I have to confess that for the longest time I actually thought that the Little Mermaid sequel WAS the first movie because I didn't have the original on DVD. I was probably almost into middle school (if not, IN middle school) before I saw the original
This whole policy is quite antiquated TBH. I understand *why* Disney does it, it's so that they can keep their films fresh for future generations. But with media being so ridiculously easy to obtain nowadays what with online ordering and especially streaming, there's really no need for *any* studio to put their library on Moratorium anymore...
I think it's kind of like what Yesterworld Entertainment said about the Disney Vault, that was mainly a marketing tactic for when they first released the Classics Collection which featured Disney films that were once labeled as "The Untouchables". They were films that, when Disney created Walt Disney Home Video, would never get a home video release and the only way to see them would be in theaters.
I swear the moment I got over my late teen mentality of "Disney is for babies" and wanted to start my Disney DVD collection was the same time the Vault closed for that particular session. I was clamouring for my own copies of my faves for a decade. The vault is both genius and evil!!! Gah!
The actual vault in question is a salt mine but not the one in Kansas that everyone thinks of, but just as big as it also holds originals to almost every invention of WDI.
I could of sworn that you guys already made this video and I watched it already like a month or 2 ago. Am I the only one that feels like I've watched this before?
im the only one in my house who watches disney movies still and im 18, I like to collect older disney movies on VHS yesterday i went to a salvation army near my house and found tons of the classics there (alice in wonderland, Dumbo, Bambi, Snow white, cinderella, etc). so there were 14 and i get them all for 75 cents. now thats a fantastic deal.
"A stack of VHS tapes in a cabinet of some long forgotten entertainment center in Topeka." I have a feeling at least 'Song Of The South' qualifies for this.
4:04 In that case I’d be arrested within the first 10 miles of that place, I always keep an array of sharpies, pens, pencils, etc in my pockets... (I just like to doodle)
Cant you just get the movies on eBay when they go into the vault? I never had any problems getting movies I wanted when they cane out or years after lol
Funny - I’m from Europe, and while I’m pretty sure they used the visuals of the vault (as in, the door opening), I don’t think they ever mentioned the vault or used it in any way to suggest that DVDs etc would only be available for a limited time, although they definitely were, it just wasn’t communicated that way. Very interesting - goes to show how different marketing strategies work in different countries.
Some of us have poor internet and still buy physical for that reason. Up until the new rebrand of Disney Movies anywhere their servers would not work with my particular internet so streaming wasn't an option. They expanded their servers when they moved to movies anywhere and now it only sometimes works. But not enough for me to go completely digital. Nothing worse than getting only ten mins into a film before it craps out on you
The concept of "the vault" is incredibly weird, if not completely unknown, to us Hungarians. It's not like We see disney movies on store shelves every day, buying them whenever We please, or something, but still, We never heard of Disney movies missing from whatever store shelves they'd be found on.
I feel like during those years someone's going to get tired of their copy of the movie and put it up on eBay making it a little less rare than I hope for it to be
"The Song of the South" is locked away in a strongbox with chains in the deepest, darkest corner of the Disney vault, and they would much prefer we forget it ever existed. That's also were they put the black centaurs from Fantasia, and I'm very surprised the crows from Dumbo weren't put there too. I don't understand why they will gladly release the horrifically racist propaganda cartoons from World War Two, but insist that "The Song of the South" never see the light of day again.
Swampert Assassin well they did make it 7 to 10 years ago, and are probably going to put the video away after a couple of weeks so you have to wait another 7 to 10 years to see it again
OH!!! The location from the Dick Van Dyke clips is actually extremely identical to the Company D warehouse in Anaheim. Company D being the place where most unsold (typically seasonal) Disney merch gets sent for cast members to buy at big discounted prices. I'd be willing to bet they just cleared out the backhouse one day, dressed it up for the shoot and did it up to play the mystery of the ""vault""
You can actually buy nearly all of their movies at any time. (Unless something has changed since the last time I went.) They are all for sale in the overpriced stores at Disney World (and the other parks,I would assume.) There are shevles and shelves of copies of the movies in various formats in stores at the park. Particularly old movies of many stripes like the numerous live action stuff they have put out through the decades that includes more than just the theatrical films but, also the many television movies from the oft forgotten Magical World of Disney weekly TV show that ran through the 1990s along with programming from the Disney Channel on cable that was considered a very prestigious among children and parents who were the types to show off their wealth and virtue signal their devotion as parents because it was relatively expensive for the time and not even available on all cable networks around the country for many years.
I already heard about the marketing behind The Vault when I was younger (pre-digital, when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth). I thought the idea harkened back the idea of the locked fireproof rooms (vaults) that held the nitrocellulose film that would burn down the building if it could.
I don't understand how no one has thought of a very logical reason. Like when you have that many films, choosing which ones to, or how many copies or what movies will be the popular ones to sell, year after year, and as more get added is a marketing nightmare in and of itself. Yes obviously the idea of scarcity, buy it why you can! Is part of this. But Disney also doesn't hide that motivation. It's literally spelled out in the commercials. "GET it before it goes into the vault." So, all the conspiracy theories of cash grabs aside. Just based on logic, this is probably necessary to persevere a type of organization for having that many animated films. Again, LOGIC, currently there are 61. If ALL 61 are being produced for purchase. There's no way to gage which ones to make the most copies of. For example you make 500 dvds of the Cinderella. (Obviously these numbers would be higher, this is to make a point 🙄) And 150 dvds of 101 Dalmatians. But for some reason this year Cinderella isn't as popular. And 101 Dalmatians has become the one everyone wants. Now you just lost money twice. You have too many dvds of Cinderella that aren't selling. And not enough of Dalmatians that are. What if that year, everyone wanted, The Jungle Book, and you sent out no copies of Jungle Book? See my point. There's no way to affectively predict Disney popularity trends and therefore know how many to put on dvds. I imagine before the vault. Disney lost money every year on something like my example. How do you fix that? You make it easy and streamline the process. No more guessing which of the now 61 movies to put on DVD. You have a list, these movies are out of the vault. These movies are available on DVD. These movies in the vault are not. Simple. It takes all the guessing out of the equation. It's not just a marketing strategy based on creating demand. I highly doubt it was created with that as the focus. That has probably become a profitable by product. The purpose probably came about as practical way to maintain material. If you think about when the Disney vault came about, it was introduced when the animated library was starting to grow in higher numbers. I don't think it's quite as much a "ploy" as it was a necessity. Which would also explain why Disney vault movies are on Disney+ If it really was all about creating demand and scarcity, why change that? And all them on Disney+? This was probably a logical necessity at the time.
when movies go back into the vault you can't find them on store shelves, but you can always go to amazon.com to find a copy of the movie you want, but beware because you might have to pay a lot of money because people will always try to milk you dry of your money.
Disney didn't actually win an Oscar for Snow White, just a special award for his achievement. It's easy to mistake it for him winning an actual Academy Award however.
You can't really put the recent movies into the vault since they are constantly growing Franchises. Tangled and Big Hero 6 getting TV shows and comics. Wreck it Ralph has a sequel. Frozen you already know. I can pretty much tell you that the movies from Tangled to Moana will go back to the vault when the franchises are done expanding
Walt Disney : You now belong to the Disney vault!
Mickey Mouse: I thought I was Public Domain!
Walt Disney: WRONG!!!

right, but even those special editions can be bought on ebay after the vault has closed. so, again, there's no point in the vault. it only keeps Disney from making money at this point.
It's a dishonest marketing technique to inflate the prices of their movies
Yeah. I imported the Toy Story trilogy on Blu ray from the UK for the same price for just one of the movies in the US. I really wish Disney would release cheaper versions that aren't combo packs.

but Yay for the super Carlin Brother's J and Ben
Isnt this dead now we can buy all on digital tho ?
Isn’t this a reupload?
yes
Wait they put this on their channel ,while one was on Cartoonhanger
Jamie Christelow lol

Can't wait till Disney+
Why do they bother with the vault anymore? If you want a certain movie, get it on eBay or Amazon. Not that difficult
im the only one in my house who watches disney movies still and im 18, I like to collect older disney movies on VHS yesterday i went to a salvation army near my house and found tons of the classics there (alice in wonderland, Dumbo, Bambi, Snow white, cinderella, etc). so there were 14 and i get them all for 75 cents. now thats a fantastic deal.

i still buy DVDs... so bite me!!
It doesnt realy matter now, any disny movie can be downloaded or bought online now.

I'm convinced that the vault is a metaphor, and not a physical thing.

In that case I’d be arrested within the first 10 miles of that place,
I always keep an array of sharpies, pens, pencils, etc in my pockets...
(I just like to doodle)
Great job
Cant you just get the movies on eBay when they go into the vault?
I never had any problems getting movies I wanted when they cane out or years after lol
The only Disney movie kept in the vault out of all the others, was the controversal "Song of the South".
Funny - I’m from Europe, and while I’m pretty sure they used the visuals of the vault (as in, the door opening), I don’t think they ever mentioned the vault or used it in any way to suggest that DVDs etc would only be available for a limited time, although they definitely were, it just wasn’t communicated that way. Very interesting - goes to show how different marketing strategies work in different countries.
Some of us have poor internet and still buy physical for that reason. Up until the new rebrand of Disney Movies anywhere their servers would not work with my particular internet so streaming wasn't an option. They expanded their servers when they moved to movies anywhere and now it only sometimes works. But not enough for me to go completely digital. Nothing worse than getting only ten mins into a film before it craps out on you
I was lucky enough to see Song of the South in the theater.
I'm sure that one is never coming out of the vault.
The concept of "the vault" is incredibly weird, if not completely unknown, to us Hungarians. It's not like We see disney movies on store shelves every day, buying them whenever We please, or something, but still, We never heard of Disney movies missing from whatever store shelves they'd be found on.
isn't online streaming killed the marketing at this point
Of course. It’s about time that vault finally came to an end with the launching of the Disney+ streaming service!
Disney elevates the importance of their work of the world. People put so much faith in Disney it's sick
How many years did have the Disney vault was made?
This is so cool
Here in the Netherlands there is no Disney vault. And at my local dvd store they have even a shelf of Disney films and Pixar films.
Forgot to mention the Laser Disc releases :P
I feel like during those years someone's going to get tired of their copy of the movie and put it up on eBay making it a little less rare than I hope for it to be
Now all we need is a home release of Song of the south.
We almost went to see it during its last theatrical re release.
We didn't and I have always wished we had.
We did see The Black Cauldron.
"The Song of the South" is locked away in a strongbox with chains in the deepest, darkest corner of the Disney vault, and they would much prefer we forget it ever existed. That's also were they put the black centaurs from Fantasia, and I'm very surprised the crows from Dumbo weren't put there too.
I don't understand why they will gladly release the horrifically racist propaganda cartoons from World War Two, but insist that "The Song of the South" never see the light of day again.
always ticked me off as a kid how they seemed to repeatedly pull things back out of the vault BEFORE the set re-release time
Or y'know...go to ebay or amazon?
I wish the latest re release Disney classics would be shown like the original release.
What do you mean? Are there some differences compared to the original releases?
Lol its almost as if Disney has never heard of piracy.
Except if you go to buy a disney film and you can't because it s in the "vault" you have no option but to pirate it.
I still watch Disney movies and I'm nine my teacher does too so does my mom and my mom is 42
Everyone at Frederator still watches Disney movies, too, Joey! What's your favorite?
Anyone else catch how this is a reupload
Swampert Assassin well they did make it 7 to 10 years ago, and are probably going to put the video away after a couple of weeks so you have to wait another 7 to 10 years to see it again
Is there going to be a live stream today
OH!!! The location from the Dick Van Dyke clips is actually extremely identical to the Company D warehouse in Anaheim.
Company D being the place where most unsold (typically seasonal) Disney merch gets sent for cast members to buy at big discounted prices.
I'd be willing to bet they just cleared out the backhouse one day, dressed it up for the shoot and did it up to play the mystery of the ""vault""
You can actually buy nearly all of their movies at any time. (Unless something has changed since the last time I went.) They are all for sale in the overpriced stores at Disney World (and the other parks,I would assume.) There are shevles and shelves of copies of the movies in various formats in stores at the park. Particularly old movies of many stripes like the numerous live action stuff they have put out through the decades that includes more than just the theatrical films but, also the many television movies from the oft forgotten Magical World of Disney weekly TV show that ran through the 1990s along with programming from the Disney Channel on cable that was considered a very prestigious among children and parents who were the types to show off their wealth and virtue signal their devotion as parents because it was relatively expensive for the time and not even available on all cable networks around the country for many years.

Can you get movies in the vault on Apple TV?
How does this work when theres something called amazon & ebay these days?
Or the internet and piracy
They must keep adding special features like deleted scenes and commentary, I guess.
Keyboard Warrior yep, the most recent rereleases offer digital copies with the purcases
I already heard about the marketing behind The Vault when I was younger (pre-digital, when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth). I thought the idea harkened back the idea of the locked fireproof rooms (vaults) that held the nitrocellulose film that would burn down the building if it could.
Very cool channel 💞
I don't understand how no one has thought of a very logical reason. Like when you have that many films, choosing which ones to, or how many copies or what movies will be the popular ones to sell, year after year, and as more get added is a marketing nightmare in and of itself. Yes obviously the idea of scarcity, buy it why you can! Is part of this. But Disney also doesn't hide that motivation. It's literally spelled out in the commercials. "GET it before it goes into the vault."
So, all the conspiracy theories of cash grabs aside. Just based on logic, this is probably necessary to persevere a type of organization for having that many animated films. Again, LOGIC, currently there are 61. If ALL 61 are being produced for purchase. There's no way to gage which ones to make the most copies of. For example you make 500 dvds of the Cinderella. (Obviously these numbers would be higher, this is to make a point 🙄) And 150 dvds of 101 Dalmatians. But for some reason this year Cinderella isn't as popular. And 101 Dalmatians has become the one everyone wants. Now you just lost money twice. You have too many dvds of Cinderella that aren't selling. And not enough of Dalmatians that are. What if that year, everyone wanted, The Jungle Book, and you sent out no copies of Jungle Book? See my point. There's no way to affectively predict Disney popularity trends and therefore know how many to put on dvds. I imagine before the vault. Disney lost money every year on something like my example. How do you fix that?
You make it easy and streamline the process. No more guessing which of the now 61 movies to put on DVD. You have a list, these movies are out of the vault. These movies are available on DVD. These movies in the vault are not. Simple. It takes all the guessing out of the equation. It's not just a marketing strategy based on creating demand. I highly doubt it was created with that as the focus. That has probably become a profitable by product.
The purpose probably came about as practical way to maintain material. If you think about when the Disney vault came about, it was introduced when the animated library was starting to grow in higher numbers. I don't think it's quite as much a "ploy" as it was a necessity.
Which would also explain why Disney vault movies are on Disney+ If it really was all about creating demand and scarcity, why change that? And all them on Disney+?
This was probably a logical necessity at the time.
when movies go back into the vault you can't find them on store shelves, but you can always go to amazon.com to find a copy of the movie you want, but beware because you might have to pay a lot of money because people will always try to milk you dry of your money.
This is random but I really like your voice 😂
Disney didn't actually win an Oscar for Snow White, just a special award for his achievement. It's easy to mistake it for him winning an actual Academy Award however.
So that’s why song of the south is worth millions of dollars
I wonder what's due to come out of the vault next? Please be the great mouse detective😀

Anyone remember Vault Disney late night on the D channel in the late 90s?
You see I used to have the whole Diamondback additional coffees of Fantasia Disney's PCR classics
Lol Shout out from Topeka! Hahaha
I could use my weekend to research anything and here I am.
glad she realised the cat hair her jumper halfway thought
What is this VHS you speak of?
Is it just an American thing ? Because in the UK we have all the titles ?
Honestly this will only continue until streaming services completely take over
You can't really put the recent movies into the vault since they are constantly growing Franchises. Tangled and Big Hero 6 getting TV shows and comics. Wreck it Ralph has a sequel. Frozen you already know. I can pretty much tell you that the movies from Tangled to Moana will go back to the vault when the franchises are done expanding
