207-472: Is the modern version of Disney's practice of re-releasing its animated feature films in theaters every several years, which began with the reissue of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1944. During the 1980s, when the home video market was dominated by VHS systems, Disney films would be reissued every ten years, a time gap equal to that of their theatrical reissues.

299-702: The Fox film library from distribution to theaters (with the notable exception of The Rocky Horror Picture Show ), effectively locking the Fox back-catalog in the Vault. One Disney film that remains vaulted was Song of the South , based on the Uncle Remus stories by folklorist Joel Chandler Harris . The film has neither aired on television nor it ever been released on home video in the United States due to criticism of its portrayal of African Americans . In 2010 and 2020, Iger stated that

322-561: The evolution of home media delivery mechanisms, including DVD, Blu-ray, and digital streaming, which Disney itself mainly markets through its own Movies Anywhere initiative. Television commercials for Disney home video releases will alert customers that certain films will be placed on moratorium soon, urging them to purchase these films before they "go back into the Disney Vault", in the words often spoken by longtime Disney trailer voice-over actor Mark Elliott . Some direct-to-video Disney films, among them Bambi II , have also been released with

414-438: The public. Disney has never vaulted these two films because they have become so saturated in the market that vaulting them would have been meaningless. Nonetheless, they have been very successful on home video, in their own right. Near the end of the 2000s, they were announced on both Platinum and Diamond editions. They were only released on a special edition with similar marketing to the Disney Vault movies. In 2016, Disney released

437-467: The saturation in the market prevented the films from producing the same financial advantages of the other films. With the release of the Signature Collection in 2016, Disney released three movies per year instead of two. By 2022, all of the films that were vaulted had been fully released.

The practice had also made the Disney films a prime target for bootleg DVD manufacturers. The following films were considered to be subject to release and later return to
