Actually a recent trend is to not release DVD’s / blue rays because it keeps people on streaming services. I would love to buy a blu-ray of Hamilton the musical but Disney hasn’t made that available yet, despite being able to stream it on Disney+ since 2020.

Even when they do release physical media, they often don’t have the best version of a show available. For example, Disney 4k UHD physical discs offer HDR10 but Dolby Vision is limited to Disney+ for the same films as are the IMAX enhanced cuts (expanded aspect ratios).

A small exception to this is the newly announced Criterion edition of Wall-E, which includes Dolby Vision.

Disney has never had a history of really being any good at physical media releases, but at this point it's starting to become a bit of a joke.

Even their 'higher end' 4k UHD media releases are missing features that Disney+ has, like Dolby Vision. https://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id...
