Movies failing to rip

I have three external optical drives which read/write cd/dvd/blu-ray discs. The following movies have failed to rip on all three drives:

Aladdin (2004)
Disney

Finding Nemo (2003)
Disney/Pixar

The Incredibles (2005)
Disney/Pixar

Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Dreamworks

Madagascar (2005)
Dreamworks

The Santa Clause 2 (2002)
Disney

The Santa Clause 3 (2006)
Disney

Toy Story 1 & 2 (1995/1999)
Disney/Pixar

The Year Without A Santa Claus (1974)

The common denominator with these movies failing is they are from Disney/Pixar and/or Dreamworks. Is this a code issue where these movies aren't supported by MakeMKV or is this a Disney/Pixar and/or Dreamworks problem?

I'm out of ideas to troubleshoot this. Any/all advice/guidance/help would be so very sincerely appreciated!

I hope everyone has had a great holiday! Keep being awesome!

Several of those movies have ripped just fine for me on BD; by your choice of forum, are you saying the DVDs didn't rip?

Generally speaking, DVDs rip just fine, as long as they aren't dirty or scratched. "Dirty" can mean they've picked up a coating of crud sitting in their cases too long (over 6 months has been my experience), and need to be cleaned before ripping.
