Disney unveiled a special Blu-ray collection of animated movies that will soon be available to the public — but it won't be cheap.
The entertainment giant said Sunday that the three-volume "Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection" contains Blu-ray copies of 100 movies it has made over the years. It will cost $1,500, according to reports.
Disney plans to release the collection on Nov. 14. It represents one of the company’s latest moves to mark its centennial. The studio was founded on Oct. 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy Disney.
The company will offer pre-orders for a "limited number of sets" through Walmart’s website, it said. Those will kick off on Sept. 18.
