While it's not news that The Lion King 1 1/2 will be making its debut on February 10 next year, this unconfirmed item is noteworthy. The direct-to-video sequel will supposedly be released as a 2-disc set. In addition to the Timon mockumentary and deleted scenes we already know about, additional bonus features will include a Hidden Mickey Hunt (in which you track hidden Mickeys throughout the movie with your remote), Timon & Pumbaa's Virtual Safari 1.5, The Making of Lion King 1.5, Nathan Lane Audio Outtakes, and music videos. The two games will be "Name That Character" and Who Wants to Be King of the Jungle? (a jungle version of "Millionaire" hosted by Meredith Viera). This would be the first 2-disc set for a direct-to-video feature, but it all seems pretty reasonable. I'll let you know once this is confirmed, as a full press release should be issued within the next few weeks.

September 27, 2003 - You may have noticed the site went down again. Bandwidth...again. Read an important announcement on this, updated today. Since some site visitors have expressed interest in supporting the site with a contribution, you may now do so through Amazon's Honor System. (Minimum of $1.)

September 21, 2003 - Added a new, in-depth DVD review of Disney's 1992 live action musical Newsies and a fourth installment of DIScussions which you may or may not agree with, on Sword in the Stone.

September 19, 2003 - Today's update is not about Disney DVD news, but rather about the site. If you tried accessing it last night or this morning, you noticed that you couldn't because the site had exceeded Bandwidth Limits. Now many of you may not care, but the site does cost money to run, and the more traffic grows, the more it will cost. There are ways to cut bandwidth used, like dropping the Cover Art section, and cutting down on certain features of the forum. There are also ways to increase revenue from the site, but I don't wish to resort to the awful, intrusive pop-up and pop-under advertising that plagues most of the Internet these days. Instead, I'd encourage those of you who find this site a worthwhile venture to support the site.

How can I support the site, you may ask? Well, you can use our affiliate links when you're purchasing a Disney movie or any other product from a variety of Internet stores, including Amazon's worldwide stores and Best Buy in-store pickup. You can help inform others of the site, and if you have a website of your own, you can use our "Link to Us" page to post a banner or button linking to this site.

As has always been the case, I'm open to suggestions, comments, and feedback of any kind. I'd post an e-mail address at which to send such comments, but it would just become bombarded with spam, so you can do a little searching for one, or better yet, post your thoughts on our active discussion forum. Your support is most appreciated and I think it's a favorable alternative to sacrificing sanity for pop-up ad revenue.... Enough of that, now where are our Freaky Friday specs?!

September 18, 2003 - The cover artwork for December's DVD releases of "Lizzie McGuire" have been updated to include Toon Lizzie and to note that each volume will contain 4 episodes of the show. It's still unclear as to what episodes will be included; whether they're releasing the first 8 episodes produced or aired, or just 8 random episodes.

September 17, 2003 - Added some artwork for November's DVD releases: covers and discs for Rolie Polie Olie: Olie's Winter Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving, and disc artwork for Eloise at the Plaza and The Music Man.
