I see Bob Iger has had a rethink over Disney's physical media output and wants to restart it following years of concentrating on streaming. Basically they don't make the money from streaming that they do from selling dvd and Blu-ray. They've missed out on hundreds of millions for example by not putting The Mandalorian onto disc and that's just one small example. Quote:

Not just the Disney titles but the other studios run by Disney have suffered, it’s crazy to me that you can’t buy Wes Anderson’s latest or Oscar winning Everything Everywhere… on physical media in the UK because it’s distributed by Disney.

I must admit, I don't really understand that quote LOL but it seems that they are still reluctant to release Disney/Marvel stuff which is probably their heavy hitters on top I can think of the things that haven't had a physical release: Loki Mandalorin Wandavision Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Santa Clauses Disenchanted That Lord Of The Rings Show Plus a lot of live action Disney Films from 90's and 00's: National Treasure Santa Clause Trilogy Mighty Ducks Trilogy Freaky Friday George Of The Jungle And plenty of other things. I can't think of what could be possibly released that aren't Disney or Marvel other than French Dispatch, Menu, Barbarian and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. I really don't get it, I don't think that Netflix and Amazon are hurting because Cobra Kai and The Boys have been put out on physical media |

They won't simply drop all those series onto disc two days later. There'll be planning forever more about how to best squeeze every penny out of the market. I hope they license out The Black Hole to somebody at some point. |

Also I don't believe Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has ever had a Bluray release. I still cling to my DVD import. |

It is a little surprising, particularly as all new TVs are high definition, Blu-ray players can only cost ~£50 (as well as games consoles being capable of playing 4K Ultra HD discs), and there is a definite step-up in AV quality from DVD to Blu-ray, plus the benefits that the higher storage capacity those discs bring. All that said, when new TV shows (such as Inside No. 9), are only released on DVD and, during a cost-of-living crisis, they are cheaper, it's little surprise that the 'inferior' media is so popular.
