Maybe Aladdin will be last year's Alice, sorta.singerguy04 wrote:I agree in that we're probably going to get Many Adventures in 2012, I would also like to get Search for Christopher Robin too.
Going off topic a bit... I don't think we'll get Cindy 2 or 3 though. They'll probably be an early 2013 release, and as much as I'd love for The Rescuers and Down Under to be released I'd wager an Aladdin release first. There is a TON of talk about a 20th Anniversary Edition for Aladdin.
Couldn't agree more. Quite a small collection of features, but at least it has 'Nessie' on it. Here are my thoughts on the Australian Blu-ray release here:Disney Live On wrote:First thing Ill say is the Making of featurette is a joke. Absolutely a falsely advertised feature. Just as it gets into the making of the film it cuts off with no discussion of the process of animating, the characters voices, the story choices or the music. Very sad.
that might explain why theres been no whisper of a cinema release in new zealand yet. google said a few months back it was due these holidays, but not a sniff anywhere, not even a preview at TLK3D.Disney Live On wrote:So I picked up my copy of the blu ray today (kinda want to write the review if anyone can tell me who I'd need to talk to about that). Turns out Disney had so little faith the film would do well in Australia it was pulled from cinemas (where it was originally meant to play this school holidays (September)) and instead it has come out exclusively at BIG W stores (like our wallmart) and so I went and picked it up happy I could own it but sad Disney had no faith its its product.
I was at a presentation with the directors at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and they screened two of the cut scenes. They explained that they took out the Eeyore shot for two reasons: One, at test screenings it seemed as if the audience took too long to "get into" the film, so they wanted to speed up the character intros. And two, they didn't want Pooh to take the vow to find Eeyore's tail no matter what, because it makes Pooh's decision at the end of the film seem less important, as if he had already made his mind up.Disney Live On wrote:Nothing on the inside cover about upcoming releases but will check the disc soon. Loved that review, very spot on.
The problem I had with Nessie was by the end of it I wanted it as a full animated Disney film not just a short. It was so beautiful that I feel it should have been fleshed out into something more.
I also have to say I don't understand the deleted section of "A Pooh Bear Takes Care of His Tummy" and the extended Eyore sequence. Both are excellent and fully animated (one in full colour). Considering the actual length of the movie (without credits) is 55 minutes, there was no reason to cut these scenes for "pacing issues" which the two directors use as an excuse for everything.
For people who don't yet own a lot of Blu-rays, and don't want the smaller cover to stand out compared to the DVD collection.Barbossa wrote:Why do they even bother with the DVD cases with the combos?
