Disney Movie Club at Walmart??? - The State of Physical Media in 2024

- In this video, I give a little tour of the movie section at a Walmart store as of early March 2024. I made this video especially to point out that they are selling a few previous exclusives of the Disney Movie Club, which I was very surprised to see. I also discuss the state of physical media in retail (mainly big box) stores in 2024 and how it is rapidly evolving this year as compared to previous years.

Screw digital media , we can't always relie on it to always work , plus its good to own physical copies. Especially When physical Media goes away , ill have my collection . When people are looking for physical copies of series and movies, then who's laughing now! ❤😂
One time, I saw a movie for free on Vudu. When I got around to wanting to watch it, it was gone. But now I have a physical copy, and I can watch it whenever I want. Digital is convenient, but you can never rely on it to always be there, and they might change or remove scenes. Like you, I'll always hold onto my physical media collection. 🙂
Exactly. Streaming is fine, but you can always expect the internet to cut out sometimes. Also, it doesn’t that all those cool special features that DVDs and Blu-Ray’s have. I am also seriously nostalgic about those old previews. I’m proud to own DVDs and Blu-rays from all over the world, such as a British Blu-Ray of Casablanca, a Canadian DVD of The Mummy Returns, and an Italian Blu-Ray of Schindler’s List.
I saw this gorgeous DVD box set of the complete series of Friends, and I regret never picking it up.
I dont think physical will completly go away because with streaming the titles can disappear at anytime
That's right. Physical and such are very much needed.
Its not dead bc it still making money & streaming is becoming expensive
I have quite a few streaming services and I still buy DVDs, Blu Rays and such. Planning to get a couple more streaming services but will still buy DVDs and Blu Rays. Perhaps VHS and Cassette Tapes will make a comeback like Vinyl records did. Retro is awesome. Maybe Kodachrome will make a comeback.@@donnellcoleman7784
@@donnellcoleman7784 exactly digital media is getting pricey give me physical media at least you know what you get in physical form it will always be there
Control of content distribution in an increasingly woke society, that might be the point.
I Hope Physical Media Will Be Never Ending!
Yes!
Same here. Cause I really want Physical Media keep making with forever until I die.
Still gonna be here but niche now a days
It won't if money isn't there & just keep continuing
Me too.
I would be sad and angry if physical media is completely discontinued
Same With Me

Managed to buy the final volume of the original ducktales from eBay and it’s great
I have been collecting DVDs at Walmart for a long time, and I would never let go physical media ever cause some movies and some shows were on DVD than others.
Yes!
I saw *Step by Step the Complete series,* and was going to pick it up thinking the price point would be around $30 to $40. Walmart wanted *$80* for it. Walmart / Disney priced an early 90s family sitcom at *$80* in the year *2024,* when very few people are still investing heavily in physical media. It's like they don't want to move units. They are being just as stubborn with their price points today as they were when *"Tv shows on dvd"* was a new concept back in 2003. There was nothing fancy about the release. No bonus features, no commentary tracks on select episodes. . . nothing. It's like they don't want to bend the knee, and admit that it's no longer 2003. Back when they could totally price gouge fans because physical media was their main / only option to view old show.
Step by step Warner Bros set is terrible
Step by step isn't a Disney show
It’s $15 cheaper on Amazon but beyond that, you’ll probably be paying closer to $80 no matter where you get it.
I buy most of my physical media off of Amazon
That seams like the best place to do so going forward, although shipping times can be a pain in the butt sometimes.
Facts 💯
Walmart is doing a great job adding the exclusive steelbooks and creating sections in the stores and on line. So far in 2024 I’ve found a way better selection than ever with Best Buy. The shipping is fast and titles keep coming. Very impressed with physical media at Walmart.
Hard To Believe, But Disney Movie Insiders Also Had A Few Of The Disney Movie Club Exclusives, Which I’ve Redeemed Myself One Of Them A Few Days Ago.
same, i got a club exclusive blu ray of the aristocats today in the mail
@@coralkitty did you know what happened to the VHS 📼 and Laserdisc and Betamax and HDDVDS and UMD ?
@@franksandoval6046Betamax lost out to VHS because of cost and availability. Laserdisc never had a chance due to expense, and availability. Once DVD became the affordable superior format, that killed off both laserdisc and VHS. HDDVD really didn’t stand a chance since people had just bought and invested in DVD, so they were in no hurry to change formats, but once Sony released the PS3, then everyone had an affordable Blu-ray player with better processing power.
UMD however was a joke. I’m surprised you even brought it up. It was Sonys attempt at making their failed minidiscs usable by packaging them differently to be played as games on the PSP. Since Sony is also a film distributor, making them a movie format was a good idea for people who traveled a lot.
So really, you had VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray as the true real physical media.
@franksandoval6046 they only went out due to higher quality physical media (blu-ray) being released......
Digital will never replace physical. Just look at game systems for example. As even though we can purchase games digitally. Physical copies are still in high demand........
Thats cool they are still selling the little mermaid 2, thats hard to find. ❤ Thankfully I found it at ny local thrift store called bookmans
Hey man thank you for the awesome videos please keep up the great work and I will keep watching
My Walmart doesn’t have a $5 bin anymore. They got rid of it a year ago. My last $5 movie I got was Mr. Magoo.
pretty much Why I get my physical DVDS and Blu-Rays online at Amazon
Its okay go stores like goodwill & the exchange & half book price & barn & noble & target & pawn shop
Physical sales are picking up again that’s great
I will continue to buy physical media no matter what
I'm gonna miss the Disney Movie Club and still so much great physical media at Walmart and elsewhere.
I need to know where this Wal-Mart is because it appears to be THE most well stocked in the movie department I've seen in a LONG time. Do let me know. Thanks.
Unfortunately a few weeks ago my Walmart did a whole bunch of renovations to their electronics section and has now minimized the physical media to be one shelf and the bargain bin. And after talking to some of the workers it seems that they won’t get many releases anymore. Indiana Jones 5 came out on bluray in December and my Walmart never got it and I ended up having to order it on Amazon. I am very scared and saddened by the current state of physical media and how the majority of average people are just treating it as garbage nowadays.
I used to go to Best Buy for the purpose of purchasing dvds. The presence of the dvds is what got me in the store. I often came out of the store with OTHER items from Best Buy that I decided to buy because I was there - - - a printer, a phone system, computer-related items, etc.
Now I am no longer drawn to Best Buy.
Yeah I agree, I loved Best Buy, great items at their store locations, I used to get CD's, DVD's, Blu-ray discs, Video Game discs, and several other items as well, Best Buy has blown it big time with this very stupid crap decision, very stupid and very bad for business with their customers 👎👎
Surprised you're finding the Disney Movie Club Movies at Walmart while you guys still have the mailing service but here in Canada, (I just went to Walmart the past weekend) and never anything like this and they already shut down Disney Movie Club in Canada 😅
This is a huge selection compared to the Walmart I go to, it's literally been reduced to an end cap and a half which I've never seen full, the records have been put under lock and key the same thing with all the action figure and collectible and Funko stuff
I still see a lotta of DVD collections in my Walmart's here in LA and Burbank once in a good while.
Still kind of sore that Disney did not feel Lilo & Stitch deserved a silver steelbook and a silver slipcover, but gave us the awful looking Star Wars slips and steelbooks. Just sad since Stitch consistently sells a ton of merchandise and the fans love him and his cast of characters.
I know that as a Stitch fan for Lilo and Stitch, I agree 👍
Yay, Walmart stores still have physical media releases in 2024. Although I heard about Walmart supposedly getting rid of Xbox systems games, but you didn't seam to show the video game section at Walmart here so you did not show proof of that claim.
Nice finds! Not just the DMC releases, but I noticed one Oppenheimer on the Steelbook endcap. Haven't found any by me yet 🤞🤞
Amazon have them
@@donnellcoleman7784 Amazon wouldn't have the Oppenheimer Steelbook. It's a Walmart exclusive. Their site has been sold out for weeks.
@@donnellcoleman7784 Amazon wouldn't have the Oppenheimer Steelbook. It's a Walmart exclusive! Walmart's own website has already been sold out for weeks.
Man that’s nice seeing all those dvds out in the open. All mine are locked up and just makes me walk away. Don’t want to wait 10-30 minutes for someone to get me a dvd behind the locked glass doors then be made to wait again for the worker to hand it off to a cashier with a big line
Also J they just confirmed extreme ghostbusters is getting a complete series dvd in america. Took them long enough!
So nice to see all those titles.
I'm glad you posted this video. I think all stores should continue selling movies, because the rise in streaming prices. They can make the movie section smaller, but don't get rid of it entirely. I know I will continue to buy dvd's and blurays for years to come. Lately I am backing up my movies into my hard drives in case my physical collection gets damaged. These streaming companies and cable companies are not thinking of their consumers from the looks of it.
I have 2 Walmarts in my city & their physical media sections are quite different from each other. One has a bit bigger selection and each one has selections that the other doesn’t. Yesterday I found & purchased the Kim Possible compilation set and the complete series of Danny Phantom (both of which are not at the other Walmart, which I go to regularly). I literally said all I need now is The Aaahh Real Monsters complete series and I see it’s at the Walmart in your video. What are the odds.
Edit: Wait, just got a pinch farther in the video and see your Walmart also has the KP set (I watched your unboxing of it last night after I purchased mine), wonder why they’re putting them back on the shelves again.
Edit again lol: I see you picked up the SpongeBob set, I did too and dropped it lol
Dollar tree in North, Idaho, and eastern Washington, have not received DVDs in their stores since September of last year
Interesting, because I'm pretty sure I saw DVDs in a dollar tree near EWU.
Awesome video😍♥️
I never thought they'd ever sell Neon Genesis Evangelion at Walmart, but there it is on the shelf.
That SpongeBob best 200 episode set you showed at 2:00 it’s cool that set got a reprint like that.
Some of those Disney movie club releases I already own like the princess 3 movie set and the best of Mickey set and a few others.
Funny people kept saying SpongeBob The Best 200 Episodes Ever is a big box-set, even though the original 2019 release has only cases inside, the re-release version from an unknown date (probably somewhere in 2021-2023, though that version was not advertised from anywhere I could find) has 4 cases inside making it even larger in terms of size. But all of the discs, episodes, and special features content are the same.
Awesome video man 😎!
I hate the dump bins and I don't bother going through them. Wal-Mart needs to put cheap shelving units up and display them properly. I hate when the media gets handled and the paper inlays get crimped and scared from fingers in the holes of the case and sharp objects of the cases get scrapped across each other.
Wish my local Walmart had a selection this big. I have to go to another location 8 miles down to find a slightly bigger area.
I really want you to unbox Pinky and The Brain the Complete Series.
Good call! That’s one of my favorite animated and Kids’ WB! and The WB shows ever.
Oof. Yeah.
There other people have a unboxing video
@@donnellcoleman7784 ok so why are you attacking this guy for just asking him to unbox a great show?
I wish my walmart sold more blu-rays because mine is like 99 percent dvds and most new releases still get blu-ray no 4k
4K Ultra HD Blu-rays are more expensive. Some people kept thinking "oh 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray is going to become the next big format," but it's been 8 YEARS since 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray releases was introduced on February 14, 2016 and STILL a lot of TV shows and cartoons, especially children's shows, are NOT available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. And yes, I do pay attention to this stuff, thank you very much! But when it comes to the likes of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, don't expect to get any of their stuff on physical 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, except for maybe some of the movies if your lucky.
@andykishore there still popular 4ks online sell but stores refuse to push out dvd I get what sells is best but come on I'd rather buy off of Amazon then get a dvd in hand
@@thetoythief8940 Most 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray physical releases I've seen over the past 8 YEARS are just movies, popular stuff, and live-action shows. Not so much ANIMATED cartoon TV shows on the format. You know it's sad when I can easily Google "4k ultra hd blu ray tv shows" and a lot of first search results I get are Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Wars The Mandalorian, Reacher, Westworld, Doctor Who, Castle Rock, and Game of Thrones. Yeah, those 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray releases are cool I guess. But those titles are NOT cartoons or fully animated.
There target too
@@andykishore 4K Ultra HD flopped
This is the state of things...going forward.
My local Dollar General store stopped selling DVDs and CDS...( The clerk said no 1 was buying them)
Physical media is being phased out.
Amazon, E Bay and similar sites have become the standard, These days!
Blu Rays are getting harder to find.
The available disc media is dwindling....
As for newer releases, Places like Barnes and Noble and maybe Amazon...
My local Target store used to have Lots of DVDs, Blu Rays, ...CDs
Now, they've downsized to 1 shelf...
Best Buy as well...
have you had any of your DVDs rotten yet it's been going around on CZcams lately about the Warner Brothers titles from 2006 to 2009😢
I love your channel.
We need to save all of the physical media! Save them all or there will be no more of them!
Sound like animals
The shocking thing is the 4k stealbook and pokemon goodies
@5:54 I like that nod to The 400 Blows. lol.
Think it's incredibly stupid that stores like Wal-Mart aren't going to be carrying physical media soon (hopefully that's not the case, pardon the pun).
That not true Wal-Mart just got better after best Buy drop out
Noticed on the Disney Movie Insiders' site that they are offering a few of the DMC exclusives (e.g. Parent Trap, Love Bug) this week (March 13, 2024). Hoping they offer more titles soon!
Disney Movie Club is shuttering after 23 years... They charge so much for shit...
😂💯
That would be amazing if Wal-Mart started carrying more DMC exclusives like Holes on blu-ray!
I remember DVDs when I was a little kid I don't see a lot at Target anymore ong 🙂
How much that SpongeBob set though, that’s the real heat there
I think he said it was $45.
essa mídia física parece que nunca acaba e nunca acabara graças a Deus 😂
Walmart still has DVD's? if they do I possibly never noticed tbqh.
Unfortunately my store didn't get the disney club exclusives. I could order them in if I have the upc
I think only some stores got Disney Movie Club Exclusives and other stores didn't.
We need both Streaming TV Networks and Physical Media!
Yep mer got rid of dvd last month,so sad they always had great prices on DVDs
When I first got into BRDs, the Walmart, in Quincy, MA had a bin full (all $7). One day, I dug that sucker right down to the bottom. Prolly spent a good hour and about $500!
I got one of their releases almost 2 weeks ago
I want the Pokemon DVD, The Studio Ghibli Blu Rays and the Casper DVD.
I wish there was a Walmart in Brooklyn
They shouldn't ditch physical media, but I do believe they need to carry mostly blu-ray and not DVD's.........
Those were not DMC exclusive titles. Those were always available anywhere. The DMC exclusive titles include Mighty Ducks, Cool Runnings, the Herbie movies...among others. So not sure why they have the DMC logos on these releases.
I would be sad if phisculmedia would ended by December 2024 or January 2025
4:32 a Christmas Story Christmas shouldn't that been available last year?
Am surprise this Walmart does not put security cases on those dvd nor blu ray
Yeah it’s hit or miss which ones have that.
New subscriber for you
Our wal-mart looks like yours but the new releases shelf are still at the hall and we have more anime titles at ours. We have a $5 bin and $8 bin as well. Records and action figures take up parts of the dvd area. The new releases at the front of the store are gone. Target 97% is gone replaced with manga and books. New releases at checkout are gone as is the $5 shelf by the food area replaced with books. Our dollar stores dumped 99% of the dvds and our thrift stores went from areas of dvds to your lucky to get a bin or shelf. Ross has dumped all dvds and only two or three at five below.
Walmart has exclusive steelbooks, but I never find them in the store, so I order them.
Bargain bin is EXACTLY where modern Disney media deserves to be, honestly.
i predict that 2024 will be to DVD what 2006 was to VHS
DVDs been killing in sales since 06
I love physical media. I recently brought Danny phantom and Jimmy neutron. Shows i cant watch because i don't have paramount +
That great
I never canada so I don't know what's gonna happen here
What bugs me is dubs of anime that don’t get released but replaced. Looking at you, Baki Hanma.
I love disney movies! 🎥
Lucky if we have a third of that. The Walmart here is horrible! Can't even get any Ghostbusters Frozen Empire merch!
I used to go out once a week to buy a new release, but I stop buying movies they’re all remakes of older movies
Not one person walked past you the whole time you had the camera focused on the dvd bin! 😂 I don’t want to assume that you know about Disney’s problems. In truth, there may not be a Disney around next year! That’s likely the reason you’re seeing those DVDs at Walmart!
Nice video - i am 52 years of age and i started collected VHS tapes back in the late 1980s and all of the sudden the Dvd`s came. so my vhs player could not play movies anymore so i threw 2 giant garbage bags full of vhs tapes. My james bond Vhs collection and movies i really enjoyed. I started collected Dvd`s. So soon they stopped to sell dvd`s. Now i collect blu rays... and even 4K movies..and what is so freaking frustrating is that Netflix or Disney or digital media are not giving us old movies in their so called Libraries. I can`t find old movies from the 70s..or slasher horror movies. Only like famous movies - Halloween etc. But no Hammer films etc. I really dislike Netflix because they have some movies but all of the sudden they delete their films for some reason. You buy like 3 steaming channels, and pay a litte each month but so you get tired of looking. I think we all need to collect fysical media....but i am guessing i am 2 old.... i miss the old days

Why the hell is the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection in the $5 bin?
Nobody wants half those junk DVDs or blu rays. I remember going to best buy 15 to 20 years ago and finding great horror movies for cheap. They stopped carrying the good movies and now you have to go to scream factory to buy them
It makes me feel very sad that they are trying to feed out videos and c. Ds, the reason why I say that is because I still love videos and d. V. D and c Ds and some people don't have phones. Or internet, some people don't even have cable. Some people still don't have a smart t. V, so in a way it just taken away from things that people are used to having. I think it's on fair. I think that it's just morally wrong to take away things that some people may not um understand. I have lots of DVD's in the house. I have lots of cds in the house. I have tapes. I have cassettes. I have, I have records. I have them all and I would really like to get ahold of more. They are having a mother of all yard sales in my town in May so I might be able to get more. Because if they're gonna faze all this stuff out. We better find it while we can
J do you Listen to ac dc
If people stop buying digital this wouldn’t be an issue😂
Is this early morning because your Walmart is bare.
I don't fully remember, but I think it was evening. I was filming when people weren't around, which is why it looks to be very empty.

1:09 I see the FNaF movie
My local Dollar General stores are putting all DVD and BRD content at 50% off. All Dollar Tree stores I went to over the past 6 months have shown little to no re-stocking of physical media. Dollar Tree used to put out boxes and boxes of physical media on Black Friday in last November’s, but they all put out very little this past November.
Medical media is the best I love streaming apps, too
i only collect cartoons thats it

Makes sense that part of the passion for physical media collecting has died as passion for film has died. Look at the titles. Rows and rows of garbage mostly aimed at 13 year old brains, no originality, sequels up the wazoo! Maybe 1 in 20 movies worth watching, let alone owning.
Well life changed & no one can control that
I don't like Best Buy so I don't go there!
