my sister did that with a plastic screw in a vhs player once

LMAOOOOO thats genius

Oof Food Fight 😢

R/KidsAreStupid moment

that's how i broke my wii. i shoved a sticker in the disc slot hoping there would be a "sticker channel" on the Wii menu. i don't think my dad has ever been more disappointed in me.

Even the fun lil bloopers!

@@hanahayashi6374 I think I watched "technical goofs" on Shrek more than I watched the movie.

You have to pay for the "collector's edition" or "deluxe set" to get these anymore. My assumption is that with the shift to almost completely digital filmmaking, they just delete footage they don't use nowadays, instead of saving it to make the home video purchase more tempting because the film was already wasted anyway.

I also remember the Madagascar movie had a feature where the animator taught you how to draw the characters too!

oh my god the only dvd menu that i really remember from my childhood is the scooby doo in scotland movie because of the point and click game where you can play as velma and try and find her glasses (there was most definitely more to it than that but thats the only thing I can remember)

I loved watching those animation error videos as a kid and pre teen😆

Ahh i remember watching the rendering error reels on shrek a bit too much as a kid

i remember consistently waking up at like 3 in the morning to the princess and the frog behind the scenes playing, it got to the point where hearing it actually made me feel sick.. but i never thought to watch anything else other than the princess and the fucking frog 💀 it was either that or.. fifi the flower 😟..

The 20th anniversary Shrek blu-ray release still has that. EDIT: I was wrong. It has most of the other features, though.

Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Oh my god, I was so fucking scared of this menu. I would always ask my parents to select the episode and then call for me when the menu was gone

HECK YEAAAAAH I AGREE

My brother had some thomas the tank engine dvds. Their menus were THE WORST.

I felt that with a looney tunes dvd, but the tv kept turning on and off over and over again

I’ve dealt with that when my family was watching Selma years ago, we all fell asleep and I was the only one that woke up to that fucking audio looping on the menu

I remember having a sleep over at my friends’ house and we both fell asleep with a dvd on. I woke up first the next morning and had to listen to the menu music on loop for ages because I didn’t know where the remote was hahaha

Or when the Audio from the dvd menu that you fell asleep on appears in your dream

yeah, and sad. i own an entire box of my childhood dvds, man do i love them

Incorrect. Gen Alphas aren't people.

That isnt true tho right 😀 I literally still use dvds rn

@@koolkat-hq5xc ???? I said some people???

Im honestly surprised this person has....

@@travisbuschette8609 Something similar happens with a 2-Disc release of Finding Nemo: On the menu for the Widescreen version (Disc 1), you can hear the disembodied voices of Marlin and Dory talking about what to pick on the menu, with the latter, in classic Dory style, bothering the former. That and Disc 2 also have an option on each menu where if you click on an icon resembling a fish on a TV then the options disappear and it's like an ambient virtual fishtank.... Anyone remember? I think it's the movie's first DVD release judging by the previews

I believe they will! I've come across KZfaq uploads of DVD menus, special features, and openings with trailers in the past so there are definitely people that still appreciate them. Heck, people even upload openings and closings of VHS movies on here which is amazing!

How are Video Game menus any different? Artistically speaking?

🐒🐒

Yea

Early Blu Ray menus were really cool, highly animated and stylized. The last one I bought, an indie film, has an awesome menu too. Is that not normal anymore? :(

Same tbh

I loved them too, just freaked out when they replayed so I was an annoying kid telling the people around me to hurry and hit play, like I had this thing with things repeating probably due to my ocd somewhere in the mix i slept while my mom vacuumed as a baby but woke up when a menu repeated my mom told me

Lovie live has a real nice bluray menu

Me and my Brother did this all the time when we were kids!

@@FTChomp9980 shit was disorienting I feel like the menu audio is way louder than the shows audio 😂

I did this with the cgi garfield movie and that music is so annoying lmao

YES LMFAO

I have the menu music from pitch perfect and mean girls INGRAVED in my head because of how many times I would put it on before going to bed XD

You mean Camillio?

@@traviscunningham7062yes

So true! I hear so many of the fans wondering what the other people's rooms look like. We only see Isabela, Mirabel, and Antonio's rooms.

Legit same! I’ve always had some sort of fear of these as a kid, especially when the music and visuals loop. One time the movie I wanted to watch was glitched, so the menu was also glitched and it just made it worse

I had a roommate that would sleep like the dead and was practically unwakeable. One time he passed out after a night of drinking with the DVD intro for Wondershowzen playing over and over for HOURS. His door was locked and we banged and banged trying to wake him up. A weird hell to find myself in

I don’t understand. Why couldn’t you just unplug the TV or DVD player from the wall socket? Problem solved.

@@serbkebab2763 because his TV playing the DVD was locked in his room with him, and his room was right next to ours. We could hear the DVD through the walls

@@peppersaltsman6044 If this ever happens again, go find the main circuit breaker in the house, and trip it.

Those were epic!

I was going to bring those up! Can't believe she didn't mention them in the vid

Wait what…. I didn’t even know those were a thing 😢

Yesss thank you for this! I was surprised when DVD Easter eggs weren't brought up in the video and came to the comments to see if anyone had mentioned it

The Care Bears Journey to Joke-a-Lot DVD has these funny little buttons on the sides of the menu that would play a random wacky clip from the movie.

My siblings never let me see them, they just wantedto see the movie. As an autistic nerdy kid who was in love with animation, this killed me every time

Now that I'm older I finally can fully appreciate those behind the scenes ❤

the current flat design of… society? agreed

I had this exact moment with Shrek!!! LMFAO I didn't understand how to turn it off (this was when DVD's were brand new ) and had to deal with Donkey jumping around screaming " PICK ME, PICK ME, OOHH PICK ME!!" LMAO it was torment 🤣🤣🤣

Me with the guardians of the galaxy DVD in 2014

I had the opposite experience actually, during a big sleepover for my friend's birthday party, there were like 9 or 10 kids and we were all upstairs watching Hotel for Dogs. I fell asleep at one point and woke up to something really strange, it was darkly lit and mysterious, I asked "what are we watching?" And got back "the third one." "There's a third Hotel for Dogs?" "No dude Jurassic Park 3". I had slept through the second half of Hotel for Dogs and the first two Jurassic Park movies- loud violent horror action movies- and somehow only woke up around 4AM during the middle of the worst Jurassic Park movie.

Happened to me with Gnomeo and Juliet when I was about 8. I finally figured out how to turn it off and then like an hour later, I woke up to find that someone had turned it back on! I was so mad and slowly going insane lol

Oh gad I would go to the bathroom and my mom had fallen asleep and the menu would be playing ad infinitum. Luckily our rooms were far enough apart but, I always found that amusing because I know we all have woken up to DVD menu purgatory. The best one though was definitely Harold And Kumar; "Hey why haven't they picked an option yet?" like lmao okay that was cute

I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT. That was *so* COOL!

I literally did tht... I don't remember if it was tinkerbell or not

I was just thinking that

when I lived at home I used to need to bang on the locked door to my brother's room, because he would routinely pass out while watching a DVD and the menu music would loop for an hour at midnight.

We had a disney set that would go back to the menu after the film, would wake up to 'Zip a dee doo dah, Zip a dee day' Nice at first until its starts to send you insane lols

@@amz7290 never let them enter your subconscious mind, they will compel you to buy even more Disney! 😵

@@chattingesque372 don't worry! Disney free house now the kids are grown and they've gone woke lol

OMG ALL 2000’S KIDS SHOULD RELATE TO THIS LOLOL

Omg I bypassed Fast Play so fast, the sound of the voice freaked me out every single time!

BRO THAT SCARED ME EVERY SINGLE TIME

My anxious ass had the remote in my hand as soon as the DVD was popped in! So much unnecessary stress avoided 😅

Those days came and went by before I, a non-native speaker, learned the word enhanced. So that's what it was...

My dad used that at least once for a compilation of videos from one of our trips to Disney world!

yup! i tried using recently 🥲

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5eWY9Kkus7Rdmw.htmlsi=lkb2OZrgUKIH8NYk

oh i had a similar thing but it was with disney characters instead! it was so much fun :D

I am so glad I still have all of my childhood dvds

Well you can’t really blame Netflix for the current streaming situation with how fragmented everything is and how you need 4 streaming services. Was inevitable competition would come up and poach all their content and tv/movie studios would start charging insane rates for streaming rights

@@monhi64 my family got Netflix in 2011 and BOY has it changed LOL

Dude, we never gave away our VHS DVD Blu-Ray collections, there was no way that they would ever be reprinted again nor released on those formats anymore. Even if a big streaming platform takes hold of the same movie, I still find having a collection of these old formats archived is the best way to share entertainment for future generations to come, even though the 20th century has ended nearly 23 years ago.

@@CCClarinet12 Im also pretty glad I kept a lot of my childhood DVDs, sure I go through and donate/ get rid of the ones I know I wont watch again but you gotta pry my disney DVDs from my cold dead hands lol. I also have the habit of picking up thrift store DVDs for various reasons. I still own my VHS copies of a ton of movies like the Pokemon ones even when I have a DVD version of those same movies I got for the sake of rewatching Jirachi the Wish Maker

I never got to experience the CD-Rom unfortunately.

​@@FTChomp9980 SAME! I always watch them on my TV and I never had a laptop or computer that had a DVD player in them.

I remember that :) when I was little I had a 2-disc DVD set of Don Bluth's Anastasia, the first disc containing the movie itself while the second disc basically was this interactive game where you could walk around the Romanov castle and discover things like faberge eggs, balalaikas, and other Russian cultural items, some minigames (such as a minigame where Rasputin was falling apart and you were Bartok and had to catch his body parts, a minigame where you could dress Anastasia in outfits she wore in the movie, etc.), a little fun sing-along thing where you could sing along to multilanguage versions of songs from the movie, and it even had a hidden place where, if you found it, contained the entire Bartok the Magnificent movie, and it even came with its own little menu too. It's like the designers and programmers for this DVD set went all out on the second disc when it came to creativity. I sadly don't have this DVD set anymore, but once I get paid better at my job I might get it again, record a walkthrough of the second disc and post it online for y'all to enjoy

Yep, I remember that

Or a CD Soundtrack!

That same year my family bought a Sony DVD/VHS combo for about $200. It lasted almost 20 yrs before the 📀 laser dying. Since such things are no longer sold, we bought a used one from that time period for $200+shipping, and it works excellent! Important to have physical media.

I forgot about the DS game, I liked it quite a bit when I was young. There were a bunch of different missions you had to complete and each of the characters had special abilities, like Hammy could sprint and Verne could hide in his shell. Could be a pretty difficult game at times, I never actually completed it fully 😂 but maybe that’s cause I was eight

Yes

that game TRAUMATISED me but i love it

I loved the bloopers for The Incredibles.

THE TOY STORY 2 BLOOPERS 😂

@@CCClarinet12 It’s sad that kids today will most likely not see that blooper. :(

Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie; Monsters, Inc.; A Bug's Life; That one deleted TS2 blooper with the Prospector flirting with Barbies

My favorites had to be A Series Of Unfortunate Events and School Of Rock.

"these boots are made for walking" 👀

Oh god, same. I made my dad miserable!

Hilariously enough, Donkey's opener is the only one I can't remember fully. With the others, I remember clips and words. but I can't remember Donkey's at all.

And then going on the website to vote for puss in boots (let's be real, he won) but not being able to remember the name of the website you have to go on so you run back and forth from the computer in the living room to the VCR in your room multiple times. Ah yes, memories

For real. I remember when I first used streaming services and realised these menus had their days numbered. I died a little.

I cried at night when DVD menus were a thing. I just wanted to watch my video but I was forced to go through a slow menu system with the cheapest DVD remote with low batteries. The pain was real back then.

cry?

Matching pfps 💀

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory's menu was LIT

I loved Ice Age where you do a slide maze inside of a glacier

That song was on my HSM2 singing game and i remember being confused by the song’s existence as at that point I wasn’t aware it was from a deleted scene/ extended version of the movie yet

yeah i mentioned the prisoner of azkaban one myself, the chase with sir cadagan was similar to the elf race she mentioned but with different routes to take which was fun, i only ever owned the extended version of that movie sadly

Apparently there's also a dedicated Video-DVD with just a game but without any movie on the disc: Harry Potter Interactive DVD Game: Hogwarts Challenge

I just wish they had audio commentary.

just got to the comments section to find this one..exploring the Hogwarts and catching the golden snitch took my interest way more that the film intself :D

I remember that head thing on the night bus freaking me out😅

Dreamworks always had good dvd menus the shrek one and over the hedge were 2 of my favorites

YES. I wore out my childhood copy of Monsters Inc by spending so much time on the bonus feature disc. I am now full of random trivia nobody asked for

remember the paper airplane competition at Pixar... I loved that

I CAME TO THE COMMENT SECTION JUST TO FIND SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. Technical goofs scared the shit out of me when I was a kid😭😭

@@shayleevillanueva9797 lol at least i wasn't the only one then!

I WAS TERRIFIED OF THAT TOO LAMAOAO

Omg same!!!!

Matilda and Harriet the Spy have a special place in my memory

Bruh i remember telling my brother to yell at me so I could have the powers Matilda had 💀

The walk cycle haunts me to this day

yes!!!!

i would scroll through the food packaging art from over the hedge for hours

The security lasers game! I was glued to that one!

I think Chamber of Secrets also had the special features with a game. I don’t know about any of the others because I wasn’t really interested in the movies after the first two.

I also remember having the fourth DVD of Harry Potter and there was a Game about the Triwizard Tournament but i can't really remember what you had to do.

i remember one of the harry potter dvd's had a mini game where you're driving to escape the spiders in the woods and have to choose your direction

The Bernie bots beans part was my favorite XD

​​@@loriisgorey Prisoner of Azkaban had a game where you travel through different paintings as Sir Cadogan to get him back to the Portrait Hole in Gryffindor Tower

The Shrek 1 technical goof reel is what got me interested in glitches in general

YOU FOUND THE HECCIN RING FOOTAGE?? HOW-

Same! My brother and I had portable DVD players and I found mine last week and I watched a movie on it for the first time in years lol

If there was video in my class in highschool that began with that logo, I would deliberately turn up the volume just for fun and of course everybody hated it.

You monster

@@Vinny792 You are despicable

Don't forget the secret video where Dory swam into the "camera" and cried "Help me, I'm trapped in your TV!" I laughed so hard at that and watched it SO many times

I remember having my Stuart Little DVD I spent a lot of time going through the menus of the film so yeah I relate to this.

Far far away idol was the best. Loved interacting with the characters like that

Yessss this is the one I remember!!!!!!!

same!!

This!!! There was a multiplayer trivia game too. My cousins and I would always play the trivia mini game at our grandparents house.

That dvd menu was probably one of the best ones. I remember my 7 year old brain trying to figure out the code to unlock the penguins game. What other dvd has done something that creative? Not to mention all the other games and hidden features it had.

heard about those but never found any, have no idea if any of the dvd's i still own have them as i don't know how to unlock them

the barbie ones,,,

I remember the 2-Disc version of The Incredibles had a few of these and it was pretty neat.

@@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075 generally dvds for things with large (or cult) followings or something that the stereotypical geek might be interested in, o know there was some in The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Scott Pilgrim vs the World and possibly even Sam Raimi's spider man trilogy. Happy hunting, hope that can steer you into the right direction.

@@Hannah_The_Heretic i see, still have no idea how to unlock them though, in my case it'd be random button pressing until something happens lol

Yessss and the menus would even change if you waited long enough

YES same omg

SAME!!!! And how noodles are made, and the different Kugn Fu styles!

I totally remember that Kung Fu Panda minigame where you had to dodge fire pillars or something like that. It was like the final minigame and it's the one I remember as my bro replayed it pretty often

Lol

And the easter eggs in that menu! There were so many hidden gems that you could only find by letting the music loop til a new little thing popped up far off to the side of the rest of the navigation options, and you had to grab it in time before it disappeared again!

@@ecamville2928 I didn’t know the puppet short existed until someone put it online years later!

And the list of the supers

@@lillytumminello1850 I love that bonus feature so much. I remember as I kid I would watch it in the morning

I was so hoping someone would mention “the incredibles”! gahh all this nostalgia is making me sad ):

It's true. I downloaded a whole mini series that they decided to not carry anymore. WTF I paid for that.

You're kidding me because if that is true , then they are breaking a very basic rule of an market place that is once you buy something, you're able to re-download it at any time forever.

@@samtime2711 - yeah man. Turns out when you buy digital media, you're not actually buying the right to a copy of the media in question, the same way you buy for physical media. Instead, you technically buy the access to the actual IP. Which is why Amazon feels legally justified in deleting downloaded copies of titles they remove. I know, it's total bogus.

@Wes Well then, that makes me happy for never buying songs or movies online . At least in past all, most online stores for video games honor this understanding with delisted video games. Even Sony is at least trying to keep the ps3 online running near 20 years later

@@samtime2711 - STOP. 😳 don't remind me how long ago 2005 really was. . .

I was looking for this comment mentioning the Aladdin DVD. That tour of Genie’s lamp was favorite thing ever, and sometimes I would pop in the DVD just to watch that. It was the best!

Same. Man, I miss Robin Williams.

I am so nostalgic for the dvd era! I am also SUPER nostalgic for the cd player/iPod nano era

Honestly they are nice! It's pleasant to own something physical and not just downloaded onto my computer or at the whim of streaming services. And my younger brothers who's 14 also likes them so I'd say they're still alive

i honestly think they will have a bit of a resurgence at some point, similar to how vinyls and record players became a thing again

@@moss_fairy2001 physical media will always be better than downloads or streaming imo

OMG SAME BUT WE CALLED THEM LITTLE TV’S AND MINE STILL WORKS!!!!!!

I used to use mine all the time and I would watch Disney movies and SpongeBob and Veggietales on long car trips! So nostalgic!!!!

I remember having a black portable DVD player when I was little. It got lost at some point, so I replaced it with a silver colored one that I got from eBay in April 2022 that I still use to this day.

Live slug reaction :

I loved watching them make the slug out of clay, I could smell the clay through the screen

@@scotcharoo22 oh yeah that one was great! my mum still has the slug she made on her desk haha

I remember these incredibly detailed features, even as a kid was entertained watching all that

the cattle rustling pied piper song goes way harder than it has any right to. Once I heard that song, I was sold, nothing else about the movie needed to be good. Granted, I do think it was genuinely charming aside from that. I also had the gba home on the range game and remember loving it, though I'm not sure it'd hold up today

@@Romanticoutlaw Honestly! I only have fond memories of this movie.

I remember being obsessed with the special features for Lion King 1/2 for some reason

Virtual Safari gang

yesss lion king 1 1/2 virtual safari enjoyers!!!!!!!
