No problem.

By the way, I too think that it's not fair of Disney to release TLM in UK on November. That's one month wait...It's gonna kill me.

You could still order it online and get the Australian one. You could have it next week!!

Great review, and also a great release, judging from this review. I do find it strange that the grain issue isn't mentioned at all in the review. So apparantly, it wasn't a big problem.

Just read the long awaited review. It helps tide me over a little until my sister gets home from school with the car so I can go pick up my copy!!!! Im DYING for her to get home!!!

By the way, has anyone who ordered it from disneyshopping.com gotten theirs yet?

has anyone else noticed that NONE of the dvd's have the velcro opening on the slipcover? I looked over several dvds at Best Buy before buying my copy and none of them that I looked at had a velcro opening on the slipcover.

Oh, and the Flounder plush is adorable! About the size of the Thumper plush they were giving away for free w/ Bambi Spring 2005.

Today has been the Tuesday from hell...but I somehow managed to pick up a copy of TLM earlier this morning. Hopefully the nostalgia will soothe my frazzled nerves when I get home.

Sorry to hear that. I hope TLM does make your day better!

They don't need the velcros, since the slipcover doesn't open like a book.

Yep, I was gonna say that too, you don't need velcros

But it's too bad that we can't have slipcovers "that open like a book" anymore, I liked those

Welp, I finally got MY grubby little hands on it today.

I haven't watched the film yet, but I've watched and loved many of the bonus materials. Nothing too fluffy. Quality over quantity, definitely, although it's nice when like with Snow White, you get both. But I'm not complaining. Disney didn't let me down this time.

I did too. But well, I can't complain about any slipcover. In Germany we don't get them anyway.

I just ordered my copy at axelmusic.com!!! So, I should have it next week.
I ordered it together with Fraggle Rock Seasons 1 and 2!! I'm soooo excited!

I GOT MINE TODAY TOO! and it was awesome! I hadnt seen the movie in years and I loved it! the restoration was very good as well not a let down in anyway. although the film is a bit bleak in my opinion it should have been more colorful! but I still loved it and all the songs are great!!! I cant wait to go through all the special features now. I watched little matchgirl and loved that but it was alittle to short I thought but good. welp ill be back when iv finished everything else!!

I got my copy. I got really giddy when I got it. I can't believe it's finally here! I got to watch the documentary and it was amazing.

Great Review Luke!!!
I'll probably watch TLM: PE later today and watch both disc!!!
Got my copy at Best Buy for $14.99 with plush of Sebatian and Flounder.

Huh?? Can it get any more colorful than that??

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it y'all, I just read Luke's review... awesome!! Made me even more enthusiastic to watch the film tomorrow (ordered from Axelmusic.com and it just arrived!!).

Picked up my copy today at Best Buy! Oh I am just so excited. I managed to watch the Little Match Girl short, and I just cried so much. The animators stayed unimaginably true to the original story, and that's what I was hoping to hear. I also "rode" the ride, and I swear to God, if they don't start work on that thing right now, I will smash something. So wonderful.

Yeeee!
