[Disney-Fan]

Everytime I see Shark Tales in the top anything of anything I feel a terrible pain!

[Enchantress]

Everytime I see Shark Tales in the top anything of anything I feel a terrible pain!

Yeah, it's a lame movie, but it is £7 at so many places now, so its more like 'something to keep the kids occupied' than a wanted purchase.

[Andy]

Well seeing Robots at #1 is no surprise really.
But im surprised at The Pacifier still in the top 5.....i cant even work out how it got to #2 with little promotion for the dvd and film itself.

And i really cant see Shark Tale going out of the charts until at least March 2006.

[ichabod]

Yeah, it looks like Shark Tale and Shrek 2 are really popular, but like Enchantress said it seems as though retailers are just trying to give them away. In actual fact I've seen Shrek 2 for as little as £5.99 and Shark Tale for as little as £4.99. I mean they're bargain bucket titles in virtually every store!

[Enchantress]

I can't believe Shark Tale is STILL on the charts Especially with better movies out. It doesn't seem as if the 2 for 1 Disney deal has had as much of an impact on the charts as i thought it would.

I hope to see Cinderella at the top of that chart next week Ichabod

[Andy]

Well its been on sale for months now.........maybe just maybe this is its final week in the top 40!!

[Wonderlicious]

Here's an idea on how to stop Shark Tale getting in the Top 40 DVDs; why don't all the British Ultimate Disney members meet up and go to different parts of the country, where we break into every HMV/Virgin Megastore and steal all the copies of the movie? That would stop everyone from buying the movie for sure.

Just one problem. They must have boxes and boxes of Shark Tale stacked up in the warehouses the amount they have sold so far.......
We need to come up with a better plan.
Anyone got any matches?

No that won't work , we have to get a 'mole' then we can attack HMV from the inside

[ichabod]

Well it's another week with lots of Disney in the charts. Both "Bambi" and "Mary Poppins" did very well and also "National Treasure" made a reappearance. But perhaps the most surprising of this weeks results in the appearance of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" at 13. No doubt because it is very cheap pretty much everywhere coupled with the fact the Hallowe'en / Christmas looms.

Would the hype around Corpse Bride increase sales as well? i haven't seen anything about it that doesn't mention NBC.

[punkoala]

I'm guessing number 8 for the Cinderella chart entry this week.

[ichabod]

Charts for week ending 30/10/05
Well Cindy does'nt officially make the top spot. However I think there is a chance the Cinderella DVD did shift the most copies. Cinderella itself came in at 2, however the Cinderella/Cinderella II double pack made it to 15. And maybe if those numbers were combined? Well maybe, who knows. Anyway in more suprising news 2003's feature length pilot episode to the Lilo and Stitch TV series "Stitch - The Movie" makes an unexpected re-entry at 33!

Good for Cindy , i think it did really well, i never expected it to get to number one, so number two is a great achievement .

Just to tell you...i...erm...sold a copy of Shark Tale at work today i just can't believe it's still selling

[Andy]

Hardly surprising Batman Begins beat Cindy to the top spot. Ah well #2 is still a great position.
I wonder why Stitch The Movie has re-entered.
