Disney has their library of animated classics. For the most part, people buy these for their kids which means that there is an ongoing demand that might not be there for the other types of movies. Parents are always going to want to get Cinderella, Snow White, et al. Kids watch those things over and over and over again in the backseat of the car, so those DVD's are in demand.
One can buy the complete Raiders series (all 4 movies) for $40 Blu-ray or $31 for DVD. The Mummy collection, also 4 movies is $17 for Blu-ray. It's interesting how fast prices drop for block busters that are 20 years old. The exceptions are those movies where the DVD has become either a collector's items or is fairly rare. Some of the old martial arts flicks from the 70's - 90's can command hundreds of dollars.
