On Tuesday August 12, 2014 five classic Disney animated adventures are being released on Blu-ray™. The movies are Tarzan, Hercules, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mickey, Donald Goofy: The Three Musketeers and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. These are wonderful classics for children and families. I wonder how my kids would enjoy Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I have a bunch of video clips below to share with you.

TARZAN

Tarzan

Disney’s legendary adventure is better than ever as “Tarzan®” bursts onto Blu-ray for the first time ever with spectacular picture and amazing sound. Filled with thrills, laughs and Academy Award®-winning music (Best Music, Original Song, “You’ll Be In My Heart,” 1999), this family favorite will make you go wild.

Disney’s magnificent adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ story begins deep within the jungle when baby Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas. But his “Two Worlds” collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a “civilized” life with the beautiful Jane and the life he shares with his fun-loving friends and his gorilla family. Enjoy this wild and wonderful adventure in a whole new way on Disney Blu-ray! Continue reading Five New Disney Blu-rays Being Released August 12 →
