The Forgotten Art of DVD Menus

- The Art of a DVD menu has to be something to remember, from Donkey getting some sick Tony Hawk air time in the Shrek DVD menu to nearly being run over in the bus from Harry Potter Prisoner Azkaban, the DVD menu always kept us entertained.
Today we look back to some iconic DVD menus from the early 2000s, to find out why they were so great.
Thank you for watching!

What a banger of a video, got this recommended at 100 views right but I have a feeling this is gonna have a lot more than that soon
100% agree 🎉
thank you!
totally agree!
A serious banger!!! Shocked to see the view count. This video filled a need I didn’t know I had
so true
Nakeyjakey type beat has to be my favourite CZcams genre
"type beat" implies a vaguely shared aura, whereas the lack of imagination on display here is more of a plagiarism type beat
@@samg3456 it's not plagiarism to sit in front of a green screen lmao
if he was straight up copying someone else's script that would be plagiarism
I love that you chose a Barbie menu for the opening gag, because the very first movie I remember having on DVD as a child after the switchover from VHS began, was Barbie and the Nutcracker.
That Shrek menu is so iconic that in my family when my Dad presses play on most movies he says "play the movie!" And my sister and I always feel the need to respond with a "ja, play!"
The Nemo one was chill, but put in disc 2 and you've got the stingray singing 'Let's make a selection a selection a selection, ohhhhh let's make a selection on the DeeVeeDeeeeeee' and I think about it all the time! Rent Free
This is single handedly the best coverage of my all time favourite niche topic, thank you piercski xxxx
It's a shame you only mentioned the Finding Nemo re-release DVD menu because the original 2003 DVD had so much going for it!
Disc 1 had you in the ocean with Marlin and Dory commentating on the DVD menu while Disc 2 took place in the dentist aquarium with the fish gang and Nemo, and I have to mention that BOTH discs gave you the option to turn the menu background into full fledged screensavers for your TV. Truly one of the top tier DVD menus
House of 1000 Corpses had Captain Spalding cursing at the viewer.
In 2009 in college, I remember one of my classes having an assignment to design a DVD menu. It seemed so outdated at the time, but ended up being a blast to see how absolutely bat shit I could get.
It’s cool the way you edit yourself INTO the menus themselves!
Came here from Pinely, and I'm so glad I did. This reminds me of having a birthday party as a kid. Watching a movie felt like an experience because the menus were so fun. I loved playing the terrible little minigames they had and interacting with every menu just to see what it did. Thanks for reminding me of these memories c:
Hide the Stash from "How High" was kinda fun. Even the cheekily undewhelmed reaction from Method Man and Redman when you finally "find" the stash.
WE USED TO BE A PROPER COUNTRY THE DVD MENUS USED TI BE BETTER THAN THE MOVIE ITSELF
I was literally thinking about this yesterday when I watched Amélie and the special features menu had a bunch of different sections for different features and every section was a different location in the movie, the bar, her apartment and the Sacré Ceour.
The dvd menu I remember the most from my childhood was probably the second Harry Potter movie, where there was some games on it and me and my cousins played one where you raced through the forest fleeing from the spiders. It was really rudimentary but it was still really fun for us back then.
i love the simpsons dvd menus. they had special new animated scenes for each disc that contained characters from those specific episodes and had the simpsons doing episode relevant things too. they’re so charming!
Shrek 2 delivered cinematic excellence on all fronts 🔥
My favourite dvd menu has to be for the IT Crowd S2.
There is so much detail and charm in its parody of retro games its a joy to just sit and watch, as there is a solid 9 minutes of totally original content. I couldn't believe how cool it was to see that much effort for a small british tv series but by golly it is worth the money to own it.
Amazing work I completely forgot about far far away idol!
There was a period of time where you could find secret Easter eggs on just about every dvd menu
For all its faults, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie's DVD had an "infinite improbability drive" button that would take you to a randomly selected special feature, including an otherwise inaccessible full-length version of a little animation that is playing in the background in one scene of the film.
This probably got recommended to me because I started looking into ways to create my own "DVDs" for archives of shows on youtube. I now have even more inspiration. Thank you. Papa Bless. 🙏
Close enough, welcome back NakeyJakey
Far Far Away Idol made me the person i am today
needed a good reminder of dvd menus, such a specific part of my childhood that i sadly don’t think can be replicated again
i’m surprised you didn’t mention the dvd menu for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed bcs of the mystery that was hidden in it! there was a special feature about Shaggy’s pants going missing, and to find out what happened you had to click through ALL the menu pages to find the the next hidden clue that played the next part of the special feature. i don’t remember ever feeling like i completed it, to this day, i don’t know what happened to Shaggy’s pants 😔
this is amazing! the Shrek DVD menu is burbed into my head. Specifically Donkey jumping up and down yelling "ooo ooo pick me! PICK ME!" - my little sister used to fall asleep to Shrek often and I would always turn it off for her in the middle of the night lol thank you for bringing back all kinds of memories!
also I absolutely love your editing style
when i get around to my creative projects. i will make my own website. and it will be reminiscent of these menus
4:14 "disney was always a company that always was [...]" beautiful clunky sentence thank u. really beautiful and touching video. i miss these beautiful things. we live too hard and fast these days without our dvd menus. life is different now. i am lonely without the light of the oscillating dvd menu
Here at 131? That’s crazy, he’s gonna blow up in like 2 weeks😭
I had never noticed the different Star Wars menu’s!! It all makes sense 😆
You made me remember things I thought I'd have forgotten my whole life
If I could meet Van Ling I would ask him so many questions about DVD menus and alarmingly few about his actual VFX work.
The Corky Romano menu was insane
The 2000s was the golden age of DVD’s
I had totally forgot about that Harry Potter dvd menu but now I remember being totally freaked out by that head in it.
was it just me who spent hours on the voice changer mode in the Open Season dvd or learned that random choreography from The Cat in The Hat?
I always thought the George of the jungle menu, when he hits the tree, looked like a man being tied up and flayed so I always tried to spam past it
Never forget the Tarzan & Jane DVD survival game where Tarzan sometimes dies
top notch quality, the Madagascar one especially is nostalgic for me because I used to play a small game that involved the penguins that was on one of the DVD menus, which makes me ask if you'd ever do a video about DVD minigames?
thank you! i was definitely planning on covering DVD minigames in the coming future
@@piercski Well that's good. The HP DVD games voiced by Jim Dayle are seared into my brain.
It's pretty hard to confirm: DVD menus are not Turing-complete so it's not possible to run DOOM with it, and Reddit nerds won't give attention to DVD menus. There's control flow but has very limited memory. In practice, DVD menus can be Turing-complete if they delegate memory operations (read(memAddr), write(memAddr, value)) to the user. DVD menu board games effectively delegate memory to the players.
I was JUST thinking about old dvd menus and looking back at the ones that stuck with me. The cat in the hat and shrek ones in particular were my favorites. Also love that you brought up the series of unfortunate events menu, the art style perfectly captured the aesthetic of the books and it was one of my favorite movies growing up, it might not be a great adaptation but i still think it's a good movie on its own. btw love the editing, were you by any chance inspired by nakeyjakey?
DVD menus are cool until they wake you up in the middle of the night at max volume repeating the same clip over and over again so you gotta get up and turn it off because you lost the remote to the DVD player 😭
Came from pinely. Love this video
HAVENT EVEN WATCHED YET BUT THE JURASSIC PARK DVD MENUS FROM LIKE 2003 OR SO WERE THE BEST
I FUCKING LOVE THE T REX FOOTPRINTS AND STOMPING
Had all these on DVD!! Such good memories! :) Great video!
Miss these menus, great video man
I had a copy of nemo on dvd that had a different menu. It was the aquarium in the dentists office and you could watch the fish do their thing, it was really cool. Great video btw
If I had a penny for every time youtube randomly suggested me a video about dvd menus, I'd have two pennies. It's not much but it's weird that it happened twice
i’m glad i got recommended this video, your editing style is so good :D
This channel is going to blow up
What a GOOD video, I was not expecting such a banger! You’ve gained a subscriber
One dvd menu I never see brought up is Nathan Barley's, you gotta see it to believe it
I miss DVD menu easter eggs. Like where you'd have to put in some secret code to get to a hidden part of the menu.
Great video! Can't believe you don't even have 200 subs. I was happy to see the menus of some DVDs I had. Here's two I want to mention that you didn't: the Monsters Inc. bonus disc had a very cool menu based on that scene near the end with the milliond of doors. Another menu I wanna mention is the one for the Garfield live-action movie. That one used to scare the shit out of me cause the music was extremely loud
you said you used to choose prince charming, but you never said who you'd choose now.. leaving us in suspense 😔
2000's dvd menu makers:
We have some storage for a menu? Lets add a cool menu with some neat shit
Modern dvd menu makers: we have extra storage? Lets add another slide

Good shit keep it up man 👍
Sorcerers Stones DVD Menu let you also do the Philosopher Stone Challenge EVEN with Snape's Potions part they cut out
Aqua Teen Hunger Force season 3 DVD had the best special feature. Play all. Where it would play all 16 episodes at once starting with the failed spinoff "spacekataz" cold open playing in unison then cacauphony as the real intro came in at different points then all 16 episodes played and then almost finished in unison
Aurora, Illinois mentioned!!!
I thought this was NakeyJakey for the first half of the video
commenting to boost this amazing video!!!!
garfield mentioned!!
so nostalgic!!!
Very interesting!
came here from Pinely lol
Yet again, I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the fact that we are blessed by another masterpiece. God, I can't believe we can access this for FREE! Move over Mona Lisa, there's a new kid in town and there ain't enough room in the Louvre for the two of you!
Myself and the whole family have been moved to tears. Bravo sir. Bravo.
Oh you have to make a separate video on dvd games
such a good video, can’t wait to see what you make next, subbed

I'm surprised that Scott the Woz hasn't done this topic of DVD menus...
It's too bad that DVD menus have become so bland these days.
I like comment and subscribe to this very nice video 🌝
this is so evil it hurts, nah jk!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was way better than the 70s movie wdym
really cool video !
great video! but try to find ur own voice instead of just doing NakeyJakey again
Love the video, though you are trying a bit too hard to be NakeyJakey
Nice work. Can you say “recent events have prevented me from being able to close my eyes” at some point in your next video without any context? Thanks!
Also I subbed. Honestly, this was good.
Thank you Evil Pinely for recommending me this evil, fucked up, and terrible video. I truly hope i can see even more freaky videos like this soon
Fantastic video my guy! And you got a pinely comment bruh🦾 good shitttt lol
I came here from Evil Pinely and I'm so glad. I can't wait to watch more! Subscriber 532 reporting for duty 🫡
