Disney's free Movies Anywhere program allows supported purchased titles to be shared across other participating digital movie providers carrying the same title. After linking your other digital movie accounts (i.e. Apple iTunes, VUDU, Google Play, Microsoft Movies & more) to your Movies Anywhere account, all current & future purchased titles will be added to each of your linked digital movie libraries, no matter which provider the supported movie was originally purchased through.
You can also watch Movies Anywhere supported titles via the Movies Anywhere app on supported devices.
The Goonies, The Ten Commandments and Ready Player One are all big upgrades. People always focus on the resolution, when the more important part about 4K upgrades is HDR/Dolby Vision. That's what really makes the difference. Then, if you have a sound system that supports Dolby Atmos, you get that bonus with some movies, too. Atmos is awesome in Ready Player One.

I already own at least half of these on Blu-ray, but I'm not feeling that these movies would be any better in 4K, except Rango. Are any of these exceptionally better in 4K?

Just an FYI, Vudu platform is awful to navigate. Picture quality is fine but I do not like the menu….
It's something you just get used to, like a different UI in a different car brand. I use Vudu more than MA. Once you click the My Movies on the left vertical bar, it starts behaving like MA where you can filter by recently added or A-Z sorting, etc.
I prefer MA, don't get me wrong, by Vudu isn't terrible.
I wanted to get Singin in The Rain, do you know why some Vudu films cannot be played on a phone. It says can't play on my device. Also only SD for PC or Mac

This is 100% personal preference. But the UI feels very dated to me. I watched all of Madmen on there. Bought the whole series for $5 so I can't complain too much... but immediately after I finished an episode, sometimes it was unclear which episode I was on.

Yes, Vudu's TV interface borders on unusable. They'll put a half-watched episode in your Continue Watching list, but they still haven't figured out how to add the next episode of a series-in-progress. They waste 90% of the screen real estate using long, slow, horizontal-scrolling lists of episodes. And the blue-bar "watched" indicator blends with the blue background of the app, so you can't tell at a glance where you are in the series.
What did they do to the box art? haha. Goonies always had cool artwork, but man... this looks more along the likes of a Problem Child Sequel or Home Alone 10. : )
Anyway, good deal. Was just surprised to see that. Will pass it on to those I know who use Vudu.

I find the experience a mixed bag depending on the device which has the Vudu App.
My LG TV has Vudu app and it's actually my go to source when using Vudu.
However some times when using another room's TV i have a Firestick by Amazon and the remote control functions are limited the App for Vudu ( SUCKS ) on Firestick.
There is no way to purchase movies , sort movies or even access playlist you created on the Vudu Account.
I have a ROKU device and have not installed it yet. I have feeling it behaves the same as Amazon Fire Stick though.. They look the same.
Game consoles such as Xbox and Playstation : Have a pretty good interface with Vudu app and controlling the app with a game controller has been a nice experience. The only problem with using the game consoles is ... Dolby ATMOS is leased to these companies and in return you have to buy DOLBY app from their market place and install then figure out the input and output settings if your running this through a Home AVR system that supports ATMOS. It's not just a plug and play with an HDMI anymore.
You have to have some knowledge on audio equipment to get the consoles to work correctly.
As for HDR-10 and Dolby Vision : this feature is not supported just through the consoles it's also has to be supported by your AVR and Display unit.
So.. that gets technical, if your in doubt regarding these features just google your model # of the equipment your using and search if it's DOLBY or HDR10 compliant.
Also note : HDMI cables are not all the same. Check to see if your using the correct HDMI for HDR and make sure it's connected to the correct input on your AVR or TV
most manufacturers only dedicate 1 or 2 HDMI inputs for HDMI 2.0a/2.2. compatibility for HDR output. Make sure your compliant HDMI cable is inserted into the compatible HDMI input for your TV or receiver.
