I have NO issue with them charging for it. If you were going to the movies, you were going to pay more than the $29.99 to see it if you are more than 2 people, even without snacks. I would happily pay $29.99 to see a move in my own home if it were a movie I were motivated for.
We definitely would’ve seen this in the cinema if, well, if, you know!
It would’ve cost £20. For that we would’ve had full, big screen, surround sound, no distractions cinema experience.
I’m just not 100% convinced we can recreate that value at home.
I will perhaps hear some good reviews and change my mind. We’ll see…
I’ll say that at first I was so annoyed by the extra fee idea, especially $29.99. Maybe more so as a single person, as its more expensive than going to see it in theaters.
However, I also find it super important, to me personally, to financially support a movie that is directed by a woman and giving opportunities to actors of color. I want Disney to see the benefit from a financial standpoint so that they continue to make more of them!
So I’ve changed my tune and will be happily purchasing Mulan tomorrow!
Perhaps no surprise that here we are HUGE Mulan fans. (My daughters 17 and 20 are both Chinese.) We are buying it, absolutely. We would pay at least that to go to the movie theater. It looks like it will be amazing and we’ve been waiting for it for a while. However, DD20’s friend (also Asian) is not watching it because all of the movie makers (writers, directors, producers, etc.) are white. I was a little surprised and it made me pause … but I’m still going to watch it as is DD20.
The Mandalorian Season 2 premieres on my birthday! Happy birthday to me! Woohoo!
Nope. I’ll wait until it’s free. I have little littles who don’t care to watch movies all the way through (unless it’s Cars, Frozen I or II, or Toy Story 3). So it would just be my husband and I, and that math doesn’t add up. Plus, we probably wouldn’t go see it in theaters anyway. We save that for Star Wars and Marvel.
I was planning on watching it, but was unaware of the $29 fee to download. No thank you. DD hasn’t mentioned NEEDING to see it. Therefor we will wait until we can watch it for a lesser cost.
