I currently have a Disney+ subscription, but it’s only thanks to the price I can get with the Hulu and Max bundle deal. The convenience of being able to stream any Disney movie I could ever want instantly is great, but it hasn’t stopped me from building my own little physical media collection just in case. That way, if I ever need to unsubscribe from the service I’ll still have some of my favorite childhood movies around for my son to watch when he’s older.
This Prime Day promotion makes it an excellent time to build your own movie collection. There is a giant list of DVDs and Blu-rays you can browse and choose three and only pay the price for two. Although I’ve focused on the Disney movies featured in this sale, there’s a much broader array of films in the sale worth checking out. All you need to do is add three to your cart and get the cheapest one for free at checkout.
Disney Movies Are Buy 2, Get 1 Free at Amazon
If you’re looking for 4K or Blu-ray versions in this sale, there are plenty available. Unfortunately none of them are Disney movies. There are a bunch of DVDs in the sale, however, and the deal is good enough that I decided to take advantage of it myself. The one standout inclusion here is the Toy Story Collection, which includes all four of the films. With Toy Story 5 on the way, this is a great place to start if you want to get as many movies as possible.
Outside of that Pixar collection, there is a pretty wide spread of some of the best animated Disney movies ever made. There are the classic classics, like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, as well as the more recent classics like an Extremely Goofy Movie and Lilo and Stitch. With the exception of Toy Story, all of the movies I’ve listed are also discounted. So with the right picks you could get three movies for around $17 here.
My top picks from this sale are the 90s Disney movies that really contributed to my own childhood. I picked up Mulan, Aladdin, and The Lion King. Aladdin is my all time favorite Disney movie, but the only copy I have is a beat-up purchase from a Blockbuster video years ago. It was time to get a replacement.
Can Blu-ray players play DVDs?
If you don’t happen to have an old DVD player, you may be wondering whether or not your Blu-ray player will be able to play these discs. The answer is yes, Blu-ray players can indeed play DVDs just fine. This means you’ll also be able to play these movies if you own a PS5 or Xbox Series X console with a disc drive. The only real issues with compatibility arise between Blu-ray and 4K formats if your player isn’t new enough to play the upscaled resolution.
