Bro no one disses Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure on my watch

The Warner case brings back so many memories.

Okay so this technically isn’t the packaging, but I HATE double sided discs. So annoying to hold.

The most annoying packaging for a set of multiple movies that I ever bought was the very first Blu-ray collection of all 4 Hunger Games titles.  The discs were housed in a fold-out plastic tray that would slide out from a thick cardboard casing.  This system looked great and seemed very protective.  HOWEVER, the fold-out tray was designed to slide out from the bottom of the cardboard casing and not the side, and there was NOTHING holding the tray up in the casing.  This caused the tray to fall out from under the outer shell every single time it was in a vertical position and not sitting on a shelf.  This meant that I always had to either hold it awkwardly from the bottom or use two hands whenever moving/holding it.  Terrible design flaw I'm baffled made it through the manufacturing process.

lol, I have that same Ninja Turtles set. Great list!

One DVD packaging that has long bothered me is the one for WALL-E. Instead of a standard case, Disney decided to just give it a thin sleeve to hold the discs in. It's so weird having it on the shelf next to normal looking DVDs.

Mill creeks The Librarians set made me legit angry when i opened it and paper sleeves of discs fell out of the box. Those discs reside safely in a storage case now

I knew sharpays fabulous adventure would be in here 😅

I find that the type of packaging that I dont like whether its dvd or bluray is where the discs come in sleeves. Potential scratching there.

I can’t stand dvd/Blu-ray cases with sleeve/slip covers where you have to pull the disc out.  The last thing I want to do is handle the disc in a way where I smudge it with my fingers or risk damaging it.  Have you seen the Back to the Future trilogy Blu-ray set where the disc were held in in such a way that they actually included instructions on how to remove theme

Warner Bros. discontinued the DVD snap cases in 2005.

Those snap cases that WB and New Line used made the films stick out on the shelf, and the snapper sometimes snags the film next to it as you take it off. Never was a fan of those cases, even back then.

On another note, another bad case to mention is the 25th anniversary Back to the Future trilogy set where they put in instructions on how to take out each disc, since the button they used to hold the discs in place was more difficult to deal with.

As far as packaging goes the bane of my existence is those complete series set by anchor bay that were essentially a hollow paper box and the discs were in paper sleeves. they just dont hold up well at all and eventually the packaging and the discs get wrecked over time

My copy of the Spider-Man trilogy comes in a fold-out thing with the discs in sleeves. I’ve also noticed how studios are using larger cases that can fit up to 20 discs, but at the cost of said discs overlapping. I recently bought a reissue of the Rocky and Bullwinkle complete series with that packaging, and while I’ve not experienced any issues with the discs, getting to them isn’t easy; the overlapping issue also threatens the season two discs (four flipper discs).

FWIW, Paramount did recently rerelease both Ten Commandments films in a simpler, more effective digibook.

Great video! Thank you for mentioning the Warner Bros snap cases. My dad used to have quite a few of those and I always thought that that was how everyone did early DVDs back in the day, but I guess not!

Those DVD cases with the two clasps are so annoying. I've broken so many not realizing they were there and just yanking it open like a regular DVD clamshell.

The artwork on the snapcase is actually removable from the plastic part. Pull up the clips on the top and bottom on the back.

Edit: I'm shocked the Back to the Future 25th anniversary set didn't make it into this video. I truly hate that case lol

Mill Creek is a blessing and curse.

One one hand they release a lot of obscure stuff (especially westeran animation from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s) that might not see release otherwise for really cheap.

On the other the actual quality of their packaging is complete shit because they basically target straight-to-bargain-bin pricing with their products.

I'm also surprised you'd did list any of CBSs horrendous series sets of old shows that are just stacks and stacks of discs inside an oversized clamshell on here.

The ‘Friends’ case is called a DigiPak.  In a cost cutting effort this yielded slightly larger artwork & more cardboard, and less plastic.  The “STAR WARS-the Complete Saga” blu-ray packaging had a terrible sleeve system.

14:16 So THAT’S where they got the Shrek Retold Ogre-Sized Box Set VHS design from! It has a signed poster and the soundtrack on tape in the extra space. It did get kinda beat up in shipping though. Nothing a little tape couldn’t fix.

Warner Brothers made those Snapper cases because they were half the cost of a DVD case. Because they're also lighter they also saved on shipping cost
