Mathachew Veteran Posted December 4, 2012 Veteran Share Posted December 4, 2012 ...will be made available for Netflix members to watch instantly in the pay TV window... Huh? Netflix is going to have a rental area? And why is there going to be a 3+ year wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 YES, YES!!! I have been wanting this for SOOO long. Yes, I'm 30, but I love cartoons. I have been wanting to watch so many older Disney movies lately, like Fox and the Hound, Robin Hood, Alladin, Jungle Book, and so on. I sure hope this goes through and we get some of the great classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
