I don't really know if the Disney vault policy is a good one. I'm sure that for all the people who are like "Oh, Dumbo's released, we have to get it for posterity before it goes back in the vault!" there are at least the same number of customers who are like, "Oh, I bet my nephew would like Peter Pan for his birthday. What? It's not available? Bummer" and then they forget about it. Plus in general it just makes me feel manipulated and angry. Thank goodness for amazon.com, right?
