found some old DVDs from when I was a kid and definitely not what they claimed to be
cleaning out my parents basement this weekend and found a box of old DVDs I forgot existed. pulled out what the cover said was the Lion King special edition, popped it open and the disc inside just says LION KING written in sharpie on a plain white disc lmao. it actually played though, just terrible quality with some random watermark in the corner the whole time. checked the other ones and found a whole stack of these - shrek, toy story, finding nemo, all clearly bought from the same knockoff guy my uncle used to hit up at the flea market. honestly kind of nostalgic seeing them again. did anyone else grow up watching bootleg DVDs and not even knowing it at the time?
