My least favorite animated films (in no particular order): The Lion King: This was the first time I felt slightly disappointed walking out of the theater of a Disney movie (in contrast to the excitement I felt after seeing The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast and Aladdin). Sure there were catc...

I honestly think this who princess merchandising frenzy is to blame for the death of the Disney Stores! It may be successful in and of itself, but you can't simply ignore all demographics except elementary-aged girls. And that's exactly who these DVDs are churned out for, so they hold no value for ...

Bonus features: • “How To Be A Princess” – tips, beauty suggestions and etiquette. The hell? Little girls need to worry about being beautiful? How about just being children? How about just being *themselves*? There's a difference between "make-believe" and making a kid feel like they *sho...

Hey Aaron, no offense meant... I just respect your opinion, that's all.

(I like all your Amy Grant avatars by the way...she's one of my favorites)

I'm torn ...on first glance I liked the Mary Poppins DVD cover ... because, like many of you have said, it's more "artistic" looking and less "aimed at kids". But I showed the pic to my husband and he doesn't like it. And now neither does Aaron... so I'm starting to waffle. ;) Oh...

Okay... Disney fires most of their own talented animators and continues to make deals with outside animation studios. Disney buys Power Rangers etc, to air on ToonDisney. Meanwhile classic Disney cartoons (like Gummi Bears) stay buried in the vaults. And of course they're still making deals to finan...

Kristin was rather expressionless as Snow White, but I blame it more on the script than I do her, and, hey, at least she's hot. ;) Well... I blame Kristin. :P She's a bad actress on Smallville too. Confession of An Ugly Stepsister-WOW!! I've read that this film doesn't do justice to the book it's b...

I love Newsies... the amazingly memorable music... the uplifting underdog-triumphs story... the very likeable actors/characters... everything! I don't have a problem with the dancing/staging. I guess I never really analyzed the choreography because I enjoy the movie as a whole, so much. I've always ...

Celeste in the City seems to be a Disney-funded picture, so the odds of a DVD are lower. Thanks Luke... That's kinda what I figured, but I had to ask anyway. I know this is blasphemy (and I never could've imagined myself thinking this way a few years ago) but I almost wish some other studio would b...

Hey does anyone think there's a chance in hell that any of the TV movies made for ABC Family , might make it to DVD? I'm curious to see movies like this one , but I can't get the channel. The plot seems really derivative of other fluffy romantic-comedies, but I like the actors involved, so...yeah. :...

I'm not a nature/wildlife fanatic but I'd definitely buy True Life Adventures DVDs... I seem to remember some of the films (or re-edited clips?) shown on the Wonderful World of Disney when I was just a wee tyke. So there's nostalgia value for me... plus... I'm interested in seeing/collecting everyth...

Sorry but I just need to get this off my chest... When Ernest first began posting here, I tried to be friendly and show support for his posts (despite the fact that he never acknowledged my existence :P) --- because I agreed with his anti-Eisner, anti-cheapquels stance. And (unfortunately) we have v...

Hey Aaron, thanks for the link! I was wondering what Diane thought of all this...

Hey - thanks for the kind response to my post. :) I was expecting to hear "oh great, chrisrose crankypants is back with more negativity!" ;) I loved Lord of the Rings AND Harry Potter before they became movies, and the movies were done so well, and now they are exposed to wider audiences. ...

Pornographic? Wha--? I wish Disney would follow Warner Bros. lead and use the original poster art for their DVDs. So I tried visiting www.cdcoverart.com --- and there was no cover art. Did the site get shut down due to copyright infringement or something? Instead I got sent to one of those evil sear...

Nicole Kidman? Sucks. I've always loved the Chronicles of Narnia, and when I was little I used to wish for Disney film versions. But now.... no. They seem to be doing it for the wrong reasons. To compete with the Lord of the Rings "franchise". And Harry Potter. And the last thing I want to...

Yeah I heard Robin at the Oscars too and thought the same thing... no way in hell he's gonna be involved with the Aladdin DVD now . But, the more people dissing Eisner the better... so it's almost worth it. After all, if they get someone in charge who cares more about quality, maybe Disney will re-d...

Why would we expect anything? True, I expect very little from Disney anymore. But I'm still bitter. For years I kept hearing about how Robin Williams recorded hours of unused improvisations for the Genie, and I hoped that someday Disney would release at least *some* footage of Robin in the recording...

I hate the "enhanced" colours. I want the REAL Beauty & The Beast on DVD, damn it! The fact that now we can clearly already see what the Beast looks like before Belle asks him to come into the light so she can see him better... completely ruins the suspense of the scene! Arrghh! I want...

Okay I'm obviously talking to myself here but... Just saw Eisner on Larry King Live and he pretty much admitted he's closing the Disney Stores because he wants people to go the stores in the Theme Parks instead. Because he's a greedy bastard. I don't have a transcript, but a caller asked him why so ...
