Alice 2-disc set worth it?

[Jake Lipson]

My guess is that Alice in Wonderland will be left alone and I'm Odd is just a deleted song, considering the movie's age. However, being as Pocahontas will only be 9 years old next year, the original animators are still around, and thus they CAN still work on that film. I'm expecting that the Pocahontas SE will have a new cut featuring a fully-completed If I Never Knew You (most of this is done already, it just needs inking) and the original theatrical release. Since Pocahontas is not getting an IMAX release, the theatrical release WILL be the theatrical release. The only edit to the film will be the addition of If I Never Knew You.

That puts my mind at ease. But even if they did add If I Never Knew You and only released that version, I wouldn't mind-it was actually a part of the film. It's not like Human Again (which was cut very early in production) or Morning Report (not even intended for the film).

No, this was a song they really wanted in the film, until a bunch of nose-running preschoolers got bored.

I'd like If I Never Knew You back in the film, too, and would probably watch this version more often or always. But the theatrical cut should be there too for historical preservation at least -- and for the idiot preschoolers with no attention span.

Odd, isn't it, that teens nowadays are willingly sitting through long movies (Finding Nemo, 100m; Holes, 117m, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 161m; Sorcerer's Stone 157m), but back nine years ago when they were kids they couldn't even sit still for four minutes while a movie about a romance had a love song. I know things change, but still, why couldn't they have just shut up for four or five minutes while the song played out? Even in comparison to the 90-minute standard for animated features, Pocahontas is a bit short at only 81m.

The Lion King was 88m, the original Beauty and the Beast was 84m, and Aladdin was the whole 90m. All of them had love songs, and kids didn't get bored in them to the extent that the scene was cut. Beauty's 84m would have been the approximate runtime of Pocahontas if they had put in If I Never Knew You. Funny how kids sat through 3 extra minutes of BATB for the title love song but couldn't stand three or four more minutes of love song in Pocahontas.

I mean - geez! Whomever's designing these dvd covers needs to be shot!

Or, in keeping with the theme of AIW: "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"

I like the covers. I think they look great. Something new and diffrent.
