Disney test-markets their bottom-most collector-niche titles ("Zorro:
Season 1") as exclusives on their Movie Club, but they're not given half
the classiness of CM's niche-box titles--VHS-dump prints, and
barer-bones than those old Limited Editions...
Too bad, more studios could learn from the CM model, if they didn't have
Target on the brain.
