My wife and I have gathered quite a collection of Disney movies. The classics we own are simply timeless, except for one thing--the damned ads preceding the movie.
Today, I put The Little Mermaid on for our daughter to watch before being taken to daycare. This version of the tape has the lady who voices Ariel conversing with two fish and waxing all infomercial for half an hour about new Disney stuff. Well, new for 1998 anyway. Yeah, 11+ years ago.
I'm solving this problem. Not only are the tapes going to wear out at the rate we're going, but VCRs are of a rather limited lifespan. I've already licensed Little Mermaid and such so I'm downloading files of each one and putting them on a specialized computer where our kid can watch the movies without the rewind time or ads. Ads in a movie theater I understand. They don't belong on the home version. If the MPAA has a problem with this approach when I've already bought the tape, they can eat shit. No kid should have to watch ads when they want to watch the movie.
