Yes, and it followed the same sort of plot line the original had - Lost Boys sing a song, final act on the pirate ship, etc.

As Reverend Ford said in Pollyanna. I don't take sides in these matters.

And das ist the end of it.

Yeah, I agree. I was wondering if that's what you meant, because I was thinking the same thing when I watched it. I wasn't ultra-pleased with RTN, but it wasn't too bad. Def. not the worst DTV.

Thank you Aaron for agreeing with me.

The world would be so much better if we had more people like Aaron who are so kind and courteous to others.

Actually, I was agreeing with Capt. Hook.. your post wasn't there when I replied, so I didn't see it! :lol: I agree with you too, though, and thanks for the kind words. :)

Happily Ever After was a fun, exciting adventure. I still enjoy it to this day and can't wait to get the dvd on its way to me. I thought it was rather enchanting and unique. :roll:

But "Happily Ever After" wasn't Disney, nor did it try to be a sequel to Disney's version of "Snow White." It was a continuation of the fairy tale, but not Disney's version. I used to watch it a lot as a kid, but the last time I watched it, I couldn't stand it.

Yes, however it was still good. I also enjoyed "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night" -- is that correct? Wish that would come to DVD, I believe it is a Filmation release.

Never heard of this Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night... is it by the same folks who produced Happily Ever After?

Visit http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/Pinocch ... review.php It is a fantastic animated epic. I would love to have this DVD released. Does the poster artwork look familiar?

Hmm, I'll have to check it out. I didn't see any artwork on that link, though.
