So does anyone collect the disney reel cards? I just got my first two today and the beauty and the beast one is sleeping beauty's fairies instead :/

I have to give props to the marketing gurus that came up with this latest gimmick. Disney has probably 250,000 reels of film collecting dust in warehouses that they can't get rid of. Solution? Team up with a card printing company, cut the film into frames and paste it on cardboard. Then hype it as a "limited collector's edition" and watch the money roll in.

Are you collecting the ones from Upper deck that are a part of the Disney Treasures series, or something different?

I know that Willits was a company that had 2 releases of collectables, one of which included a couple of frames from a movie. These were different than trading cards, and were a little bit bigger and sealed inside a thick plastic holder. The other release was a lenticular picture of a movie. Both releases focused on the older classic animated films with the exception of including Runaway Brain in the series. There are maybe a dozen or so different designs of each type.
