You never like anything anyway, 2099.

For the record, I hate that Disney went back and redid all these "deleted" scenes for Beauty & the Beast and The Lion King and now Aladdin. All just for that extra buck. Just to get that one extra seat filled with a warm tush. Each of those mentioned scenes (exempting the Aladdin one, ...

It's not hard to give 3D models a 2D look and feel. Some computer games to it to mixed results (it's often called cel-shading), but remember the studios have computers many times more powerful. Even the wilderbeasts on The Lion King from the early nineties looks handdrawn. Also called "toon-sh...

Yeah, she's pretty atrocious.

That's why I was a bit surprised by the modeling and animation of that Donald. Maybe somebody there at Disney "got" it.

I think this is Disney's main reason for wanting to do CGI animation (especially if the reports of their attempted 'handrawn' looking CGI Dumbo and Bambi sequels are true). While the recent appeal of 3D films is one consideration, I'm convinced they're mainly thinking about cheaper spin-offs should...

You're about right regarding the cost of 3D vs. 2D feature films. They're about the same to make. Although--regarding the tech costs coming down soon, keep in mind that Pixar and various other 3D companies want to do something different, something that's never been done before to wow audiences for e...

But when you have two top board members resign and ask for his resignation, there's trouble brewin'. Plus with the butting heads on the Henson and Pixar deals, the infamous Go Network, etc,--the last couple of years doesn't do that man a good. Obviously those two men are not going to make rash decis...

Because if you're going to be making people redundant (or may be making people redundant in the near future - I'm not sure of the specifics), it's better if you tell them the news yourself rather than them hearing about it from a third-party or rumour before hand. That is a sign of good managment. ...

I'm not exactly sure why there is any justification for Stainton right now. Really. I understand all that he's done for the TV/D2V division, and that's great, but when you go in a cloak-and-dagger mode to make a surprise visit to the WDFA in FLA to let them know that all production is halted until f...

So nobody knows anything on this subject???

C'mon, I know SOMEBODY oughta know something!

I find it interesting to see what and why changes are made for a particular short, film, documentary, etc. My only beef is when the filmmaker dumps the old version out, never to be seen again. Make the originals available and let the public debate over the differences between the two (or 3 in some c...

I'm sure that this may be old-hat, but since I'm new here and don't have the time to sift through old posts, I have a question regarding the MMC members: What's the back-story on them? Why were they edited out of the Disneyland Disney Treasures DVD? Legal issues, I presume? Also, since there will be...

The original animation of Three Little Pigs was released (apparently in error) in the U.S. on the VHS video "Disney Favorite Stories The Three Little Pigs". This version still does not contain the original "Jewish sounding" soundtrack. Although the version of Three Little Pigs s...

I think we're all getting too caught up in this issue and we'll just have to wait. Splitting hairs, anyone? And as for the Tomorrowland set-- "Man In Space," "Man And The Moon," "Mars And Beyond," are all animated, directed by the late great Ward Kimball. Some of the ot...

It's also unfair that people in built-up areas would have an advantage in picking up the sets over those who live in the more rural areas. But isn't that the reason for the success of Amazon.com and basically the whole internet shopping experience? Fact of the matter is - people advocating a releas...

and I swear to God if I see one more person type, that this is a good thing in that atleast "they are trying to do this right of whatever, I am really going to lose it! These are collectable Limited Editions, there fore it should be first come first serve and not just for the internet buyers b...

Did I do something wrong?

It's always been standard $32.99 (the SRP is Standard Retail Price). That's just a basic retail price given out to retailers. It's up to whomever sells the things to discount it or price it however they choose. What Amazon offers is a fairly decent discount and that's what you got. Aside from the pr...

On Jerry Beck's wonderful website ( http://www.cartoonresearch.com ) he has posted this letter from BVHE Publicity: Dear Journalist, Due to the overwhelming consumer demand and retailer orders for Buena Vista Home Entertainment's WALT DISNEY TREASURES Wave 3, we have rescheduled the release to May 1...

Okay. I, just like Trojan Mouse, got a response from Leonard Maltin himself. Here is what he had to say: Hi...   Yes, it's true:  the Disney Treasures have been delayed until May of 2004.  The reason is actually encouraging, however:  the demand was beyond what the folks at Disney Home Video anticip...
