Hey, since we're talking about The Little Mermaid, does anybody here know of this book of said story? The one I'm thinking of follows the original Hans Christian Anderson story (down to the Daughters of the Air ending), but has illustrations done in the style of Sailor Moon. I'm not joking, even th...

The Disney Songbook concert is what I'm most looking forward to. I plan on filming the whole thing since it looks like the only times cameras won't be allowed will during the two movie panels (the animation one Friday morning and the live-action one Saturday morning). Besides those three, I'm also l...

I'm really looking forward to the new restoration. The current one is quite good in terms of clarity and cleanliness, but the colors are rather dull, giving the image a flat look. Conversely, the raw live-action footage from "Jolly Holiday" deconstruction that's included as a supplement ha...

1. Tangled 2. Meet the Robinsons 3. Wreck-It Ralph 5. Bolt 6. Chicken Little 7. Dinosaur I love the first three, think the next two are decent, and think the last one is the weakest feature in the Disney canon. Tangled brilliantly adapts a so-so Grimm fairy tale into something both familiar and fres...

That makes a lot more sense than releasing it at the end of 2014 as originally planned since Disney would essentially have two competing Cinderellas at the box office (this and Into the Woods). Hopefully this does as well as I don't expect the budget to be as enormous as Alice in Wonderland's, John ...

When I saw Daniel Huttlestone linked with the role of Jack, I was thinking he was a tad young since I always imagined Jack to be in his early teens...then I looked him and found out he's 13 going on 14. Wow. I thought he was 10. You know who I would've liked to have seen in the role? Ed Sanders aka ...

I'll definitely be adding both to my collection. Mickey's Christmas Carol is my personal favorite Christmas Carol adaptation and instantly transports me back to when I was three years old. The current release of the short on DVD runs 64 minutes and includes it, The Small One, Pluto's Christmas Tree,...

Woah, whaaaaaat? Now, I can see this working if they're going for a off-kilter type of fairy godmother, one that's frumpy and not all together there. I can see that working well. What really shocks me about this is that Kenneth Branagh's Carter's ex-husband. I never in a million years thought they'd...

My long overdue short track is now up and ready to join the others. Enjoy!

O...kay...? I guess the strategy makes sense: Maleficent in theaters March, Maleficent on Blu-ray June, Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray October. If that's the case, though, what's happening with Aladdin and 101 Dalmatians? Are they just going to be released as non-Diamonds next year (like the rest of the...

Thanks so much for the kind words, Avaitor! The Peter Pan track's my personal favorite one of ours thus far as I feel all of us had a chance to shine, and the momentum was kept up nicely. Good catch on the roles we play, by the way. Of the three of us, I'm the source material/other adaptations geek....

Do I really need to say it? Really? :p Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan do have a lot in common (1950s animated features based on classic British novels about little girls from our world being transported to magical lands, most of the same crew working on both, and a few overlapping cast members). ...

Man, if Disney keeps doing these series devoted to single films, I'm going to go broke. I passed on the Lion King and Fantasia series, but I've got all from Alice (except the two variants), and I plan on getting all of Beauty and the Beast and now Little Mermaid. If they continue to do these, I thin...

Eh...I enjoyed the first film for what it was (basically Alice in Narnia), but when I think of what it could've been, it falls far short of its potential. I don't blame Burton as much as I do Linda Woolverton. Outside of a couple of scenes I felt were misdirected, Burton (and the actors) did what th...

Cool thread idea! I think we all know where I'll take this... Three Reasons: Alice in Wonderland 1. The Dialogue - It's one of the few adaptions of the books whose added lines fit well with Lewis Carroll's original text and manage to evoke genuine laughs.

I have to admit I'm a little worried at two animated features from Disney in 2016 and 2018 partially because of quality control and partially because of market saturation. Disney was releasing too many films a year in the early 2000s (3 films in 2000 if you include Dinosaur, 2 films in 2002, and the...

Aww... And to think I abstained from purchasing the Lilo & Stitch: Collector's Edition all these years because I thought Disney would port over the bonus features on the BD. Lame. Same here. Someone on Blu-ray.com's forum listed the supplements off of Atlantis' menu. It looks to have all of the...

When I watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame on Blu-ray for the first time in March, I made a whole day of it since it's one of my all-time favorites. While poking around for vintage (I can't believe I'm using that word to describe 1996...) Hunchback promos on YouTube, I found this beauty: The Hunchba...

I'd love to see Amy Adams in this, but the only role I can think of for her is the baker's wife (Red Riding Hood should be an actual little girl for once, and I imagine Snow White and Sleeping Beauty as twenty-somethings). Amy Adams was the Baker's Wife in Delacorte's outdoor production of Into the...

Well, the Hollywood Reporter mentions both actors sang for Rob Marshall, so musicality is a contributing factor, it seems. If they're getting known actors for the role of Cinderella and Rapunzel's Princes, I wonder who they'll get for Cindy and Punzie. I like the idea of Emmy Rossum as Cinderella an...
