The Princess and The Frog Blu-ray and DVD Discussion

I also think "Brother Bear" had an original end credits song, as did "Atlantis".

Atlantis did, but Brother Bear's end credit song was sort of an alternate version of "No Way Out" with more optimistic lyrics.

[SpringHeelJack]

But wasn't it "Take a Look Through My Eyes"? Because that's pretty much a different song.

Oh. Yeah, you're right. I forgot all about that one! I was thinking of the other end credit song, since the credits are long enough for two songs. And for me, the alternate "No Way Out" is more memorable and captivating. But no, you were right, that one is different.

[JDCB1986]

I think it's been said that Ne-Yo wrote "Never Knew I Needed" so it's very unlikely it was a cut song, not to mention that melodically it would stick out like a sore thumb with the rest of the soundtrack's themes.

And actually, "Home on the Range" also used the original song "Wherever the Trail May Lead" for end credits, and "Anytime You Need a Friend" never appeared anywhere else in the film but the end credits since the Alan Menken version only appeared on the CD. I also think "Brother Bear" had an original end credits song, as did "Atlantis". Also while "Hunchback" had Bette Midler's pop cover of "God Help the Outcasts" on the soundtrack, it was never used anywhere in the movie.

Atlantis was not a musical if I recall and Brother Bear is not what I would consider a musical either (it had songs in it, the same as most every film does, but only one line of one song was actually sung by a character in the film, which would not qualify it as a musical.)

Regarding God Help the Outcasts, while it's pop version doesn't feature in the movie... it still has a film version and a pop version associated with the original release of the film.

You are correct about Home On the Range, that was my mistake... but regardless, would have been nice to hear Naveen sing more

It's about as much of a musical as "Tarzan" is.

I'm quite looking forward to the TPatF deleted scenes! I hope one of them has Naveen singing. I loved his singing in "When We're Human" and I'm disappointed we don't hear him sing, at least, a second time. I also hope one of the deleted scenes involves Facilier and was cut because it's too scary for kids.

I wish there was more of Naveen singing as well ! He is the most musical character in the film (apart from Louis) he's always dancing around and playing his ukulele, yet he only gets a small part in a short song.

There's a 'Songs Inspired by the TPatF' CD coming out in February. The ad for it in the TPatF movie soundtrack CD claims more songs sung by Tiana, Louis, and Ray. Naveen is shown on the cover standing with the other three characters so hopefully he gets to sing somewhere on the CD.

I just said in a previous post that this companion CD, entitled "Bayou Boogie," will be released on March 16 to coincide with the DVD. Amazon.com's preorder page has an updated cover that has more characters on it.

[Sky Syndrome]

Oops, I'm sorry! I saw the big link in your post while skimming the page (in hope of running into a new fanmade cover) and figured it must go to the DVD's page on Amazon, which didn't matter much to me since I don't buy off Amazon. Then I was distracted by JDCB1986 quoting my post below you so I didn't pay enough attention to your post to read the part about the 'Songs Inspired' CD conciding with the DVD.

Okay. Thanks

...eh.

I am excited to get this Blu-ray, but the $28 Amazon preorder price seems a bit high. Has anyone seen better prices elsewhere or heard about great first week sales?

[BK]

So is there anything new?
Or have they all been previously available?

[JDCB1986]

I am excited to get this Blu-ray, but the $28 Amazon preorder price seems a bit high. Has anyone seen better prices elsewhere or heard about great first week sales?

You'll see the prices start to fall a week or two before it's released. They always start out really high on Amazon. Up was at $41.49, dropped to around $32, then down further to $27 and then in the week leading up to it's release it dropped a bit each day until it rested on $19.99 by release day. Monster's, Inc. saw a similar price drop schedule.

There is also the coupon coming, so if you hold off on pre-ordering, it should be fairly easy to pick up on release day for $20 or less.

New brazilian artcover!
I just HATED it.
It seems dirty and it's been badly organized.

Wondering if United States will receive this update.

New brazilian artcover!

Eww!!!

Interesting, however, that Naveen is in the middle and on the spine. I wonder if he was particularly popular in Brazil, or is it because Bruno Campos is Brazilian himself (I think...)?

Wondering if United States will receive this update.

Boy, I hope not!

[amazon980]

on the dvd /blu ray there will 1 Easter Egg. Don't know if that was posted or not but it will be how to draw naveen as a frog

[Atlantica]

That's the poster that we have here in the UK, slightly edited. I love the poster actually, especially the colours .....

But space ratio is all wrong I think. Louis has most of the cover, and Tiana looks like she is superglued to the Title card !
