The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition - Fall 2013

[quang25thinh]

OMG that looks surprisingly beautiful! Hope they would use it as the official Blu-ray cover too

[Atlantica]

On the Peter Pan announcement in a booklet, they did indeed use the same cover, only added Tinkerbell later. Then an alternate cover with the children added.

I really hope it's not cancelled after all...

Oh, yaaaay!!!! maybe the re-release hasn't been cancelled after all...there's still some hope for the Blu-ray, at least.

And that cover... oh, wow!!!!!

[RodryCroft]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!! I'm going to cry!!!! I want Mermaid in 3D so bad =´)

Here's an interesting piece of information. This came from a user named aenima500, who claims to work on TLM's 3D conversion.

"This article is false - Disney has not canceled LM3D, because I've been working on the conversion for the past several months and have not stopped, obviously they'd call us off by now if this were true. Disney is only changing the release date. This article is obviously slanted to bash 3D. No one HAS to pay 3D price either, if you don't like 3D, or don't want to pay the extra ticket price then don't. People still pay the extra $6 for IMAX movies as well. People complain there aren't enough jobs in this country on the other hand, what about those of us that do this for a living?"

I took this from this article: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/en ... 9988.story

Disney did cancel it, the release date was scrapped. Box Office Mojo always accurately updates schedule changes and when Disney announced release dates for Pirates 5, Muppets 2 etc, The Little Mermaid 3D was taken off the schedule.

And naturally, they're not going to cancel the conversion altogether. They're still going to do a full-on restoration and conversion for the Blu-ray release and if they change their minds and do go ahead with a re-release, they'll have it ready.

I believe the cinematic release is cancelled, but the conversion will be for BD release. Perhaps it will have limited run overseas like how Tinker Bell was playing in cinema for 2 weeks in Australia etc.

One step at a time RE the 3D cinema release ... just be thrilled that this may actually be the cover?!

Screencap from the trailer:

[PatrickvD]

Or... you know, they could just upload the trailer on youtube

[Atlantica]

Wait, so it isn't being advertised as a Diamond, they are showing that the 3D aspect of it is the event part of the release ... ?

I don't think anyone at Disney Home Video knows anything anymore. They've just fallen asleep and mice are running that place.

[Atlantica]

Well if it was Cinderella's mice, I would expect better!

[Atlantica]

Can you imagine what would happen if one of the UD crew ran the Disney Home Release department .... ?! Excellence and magic would happen, that's what ...

The hilarious part of that is that they would probably even have higher sales figures.

Exactly !!! Though yes, they've got the cover right....if it were us, what would WE do ? As I said before, I'd have a big feature on the parks and how much of a role Ariel has in them. Not a fluff promo price either, a real in depth look behind the scenes. And maybe a look at the Broadway show.

I've been too busy today and yesterday to comment on all this excitement regarding Mermaid what I will say is the screen caps that someone over in the Bluray Forums posted from the trailer looks amazing, I really, really hope someone uploads the trailer to YouTube very soon because I am dying to see it regardless of whether it's be cancelled or not I still want to see the trailer!

[bruno_wbt]

OK guys, there's still some hope:

I just read this from blu-ray.com:

They haven't CANCELLED it, it's being rescheduled. Sources blew it WAY out of proportion. I can't post on the Huffington Post yet because they won't approve my comment but if you see this.. please spread this around.
The dates are CHANGING and they just haven't given a new one yet. How do I know this?
Because I'm WORKING on this project. Proves that you can't trust everything on the internet.

What are you talking about? It HAS been cancelled! I haven't found ANYTHING on Google talking about a reschedule!

If it was cancelled why have I been on this project still full steam.
You won't find anything on google talking about a reschedule because Disney doesn't have a date yet. The movie is nearly complete, we're about 80% complete. The Disney Execs even called us to let us know that this info was misinterpreted.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If that's true, the 3D movie is nearly complete!

[Atlantica]

Then why don't Disney just SAY that, instead of causing all this upset ?
