Re: Fantasia/F2K: 2-Movie Collection Discussion: Nov. 30, 20

Ok.... I own a few blu ray discs (pretty much combo packs where bonus features were exclusive to blu rays, leaving dvds bare), but up until now, I didn't own a player. I recently bought an external blu ray player that hooks up onto my computer. I have the Fantasia movies on blu ray, and had read th...

PS3s are region free in US.

Yeah, nine months later.
PS3 games are region-free, but your PS3 is region-locked for movies. That is, if you didn't hack your PS3.

Yes, the art is amazing, but the story and music were poor.

Also, it has nothing to do with race. Both POCAHONTAS and MULAN had infinitely better storylines and music than PATF did.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2013

Are you just complaining about the extras?

Because I could care less for extras. How is the audio and video transfer? If they are decent, that is all that matters.

I would bet that they are not eligible because this is a North American program and the disc IDs would not match.

Re: Why do people hate Princess and the Frog so much?

Your conclusions are subjectively based on fan reaction on a Disney website. Of course the reactions will be biased. There are very solid reasons why PATF didn't work. I never said I hated it or it is a bad film, but it was mediocre and had forgettable characters like that lizard. Honestly, the most...

I'm pretty sure I have some Disney karaoke CDs with full instrumentals of major Disney songs. That's where they probably come from.

Re: Why do people hate Princess and the Frog so much?

The music was the weakest point about the film. Every great Disney movie had great Disney music. I listened to the soundtrack a lot when it first came out -- even before I saw the film -- and really wanted to like it, but none of the songs 'stick'. In fact, I find that most of Randy Newman's songs a...

Re: Should "The Princess and the Frog" been released in 2008

Agreed. "Mother Knows Best" sounds like it would fit a movie from Walt's era, not in a 2010 Disney flick. Either way, two of the songs are derivative. "I've Got a Dream" is exactly like the drinking song in "Dumbo" and "Mother Knows Best" reprise sounds almos...

Re: Why do people hate Princess and the Frog so much?

I think the weakest part of PATF was definitely the songs. They were okay, but none of them were very memorable. I felt that way the first time I heard the soundtrack. Visually, it was done well with lots of style. However, the storyline was weak and there was no overriding passion from the characte...

Re: The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition - Fall 2013

What you are saying is contradictory though. If only a small number of fans see or want the replacement discs, then it is not worth it for them to do a special new pressing, and handle all the postage and process associated with the replacement program. The only way you are going to get new discs is...

Kids would not notice the POYW error. Nor would they care. Anyone who thinks otherwise, obviously does not have any kids.

It's really more the principal of the thing. Yeah, it doesn't make much difference (if any) in the watching and enjoying of the film. But they made a mistake, so they ought to fix it. Simple as that.
