Peter Pan & Jungle Book SE DVD Coming + Trailers

[Escapay]

They've changed the end credits!

When Mermaid was made, there was no DTS, and that should read "Dolby Stereo" and not "Dolby Digital".

It's not the end of the world, Julian...

Don't forget "An Extremely Goofy Movie" on the good DTV list!

I guess now's not a good time to tell you that since this is a Lowry Digital restoration, the end credits probably feature a section devoted to the people who helped restore this...

I have the original "Black Diamond" edition on VHS. It had "Dolby Stereo" on it. That was right before the same logo with powdered white castle at the end.

the beginning is the newer logo not the one that was shown when the movie was in theatres.
look

That is a more better version of the old logo, not the one with powdered white. The "Black Diamond" edition on VHS was powdered white and navy blue with the star trails the "W" towards the bottom where the line was appeared smack dap near the "W". The later version of the logo had a star trails towards the "W" and missed it towards the bottom.

Just a quick note. They changed the sound from dolby stereo to digital and added DTS way before this dvd was made. they did that when they re-released TLM to theatres in the late '90s (1998 i believe).

[MickeyMouseboy]

cool now i don't feel bad that france has a 2 disc set and we don't. i'm still waiting for the lilo & Stitch 2 disc set...............

[Jules]

Ok everyone, Escapay, DisneyKid, Luke... I'm not going to fall into a depression or something because they altered the end credits. I suppose I just overdid it with the emoticons.

However, this does bring to mind that on the Special Edition of Beauty and the Beast, if you choose the original theatrical cut, during the credits you see "Dolby Stereo", whereas if you select the "Special Edition", you have longer credits and "Dolby Digital".

I suppose it's just weird to see "Dolby Digital", "DTS" and "SDDS" at the end of Mermaid, when it is actually an '89 film.

[burns]

lighthousemike, which dvd rippers have you tried thus far? smart ripper,riptime?

[Disney Duster]

The animation looks amazing! You gotta give it that I think. I mean, anybody who says every DTV sequel is subpar to the original in terms of animation needs to see those screen-caps, in fact, I think it's almost to a point you'd be dissing the original if dissing this animation.

Story-wise, yes it does looks childish and a marketing tool, I actually find the origial to be mediocre too. I mean, none of the characters really had depth to them at all, they're either just "good" or "bad", the story was a stereotypical "good v.s. evil" with nothing reallly new added to it, plus really did nothing but rehash Snow White and Cinderella. In fact, since Disneyland's castle was called "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" in 1955, I wouldn't be surprised if Walt only approved of it just so he have a back story to that castle. In other words, for marketing reasons!

Take that what you will when you diss it.

First of all, when I saw the top of the first screen-cap, I actually thought it was from the original Sleeping Beauty. However, I realized it was only from Disney Princess Enchanted Tales when I scrolled down further. But I half agree with you. The animation is very close to the original. It's just not quite there. And I'm glad, because if it was just as good that would be scary.

As for the good versus evil, Walt Disney said that Sleeping Beauty was about the ultimate battle between good an evil, so it makes sense that the characters are purely one way or another.

And finally, I read that originally Disneyland was supposed to have Snow White's Castle, but Walt Disney changed it to promote Sleeping Beauty. So the castle was definately going to be there, but he changed the theme to tie-in with his latest feature.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. It's not the companies fault that it was somewhat similar to Snow White and Cinderella, that's just how the story is since the beggining (and it really isn't that close to Cinderella anyway).

And, as I have stated before, I think that Sleeping Beauty is like Snow White, but ahead in it in several ways. Maleficent is miles ahead of the Wicked Queen in terms of design and pure evilness. Also, the climax is so much better in Sleeping Beauty, with the prince's role expanded (and he's given a name!). The animation is so much better too.

Oh, and what the heck? The animation in those caps looks nothing like the actual film. The one with Merryweather with the wand, her arm looks like it's 2 times to small!

lol like the Grinch's heart.

[Super Aurora]

I saw the trailer to the Enchanted Tales and one thing I have to ask: Why isn't Aurora's eyes blue???? Wasn't that here real color eyes? Why wasn't it bluee the whole time in the original either? The other is that her dress when dancing with ol' Phil is gross......Stupid Fairies and their color preferences....

[Disneykid]

No, Aurora's eyes are a dark grayish purple color. They're only blue in one single shot in the entire film, and it's the shot of her after she's awakened. I'm not sure why her eyes are blue in that shot, but I guess you can dismiss it as a temporary after effect of the spell just like the rubies that appear and disappear from her crown.

*looks back at previous page* Ew...your right. And since when does Phillip dance with his hat on? Whatever....

I see, though kinda funny since in some of the princess line merchendises, her eyes are blue.

My guess is that the hat thing came from the Philip character in the Disneyland/World where he DOES wear a hat( idunno why the coustume characterwearing a hat like that, that was no where in the movie. oh well.

another thing is, why they have to still make a "midquel" again for Beauty and the Beast? Can't it be one with the actual Prince Adam? Why the Beast again?

because people like him better as a beast? (all my friends tell me this when i talk about it to them..) and we wouldn't want to see their happily ever after fiddled with, too.

Hey, lighthousemike, I was wondering, aren't you going to make a thread with the Peter Pan Platinum Edition preview in possibly late February with clips of Disney previews like you made clips of Disney previews in "The Little Mermaid Platinum Edition preview" thread?
