Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if there was something exclusive to each release type. Since the Diamonds are pretty feature-less at this point, I don't think I'd be missing much of anything anyway.disneyboy20022 wrote: Usually they are the same discs
Now with Cars 2, Pirates 4 and other films, the 3D combo pack had an exclusive Blu ray not found in the regular Blu ray combo pack

How many 3D logos do we need? You 3D twice on the front cover, you have a higher price-point and you will probably have a lenticular cover (needless to say you have a breakdown of all the discs on the back). You must be stupid to not realise this is the 3D version.GreatGreg wrote: I think it needs the "3D" under the title though. It is not obvious the way it is now that it is the 3D edition.

'The Little Matchgirl' will be included in high definition, right? It's imperative!

I always say if something isn't broken, don't fix it - and unfortunately, Disney has a habit of "fixing" things that don't need it. So when they leave something be, it's reason for celebration!Disney's Divinity wrote:The picture is nice, but I'm not sure why old art that you could've bought a clean poster version of for the past 24 years is worth getting so excited about?

Re: The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition - Fall 2013
I don't know, I would more readily call using old art "lazy." New art is preferrable to me for a new release, they just need to hire better artists to create it is all.SWillie! wrote:I always say if something isn't broken, don't fix it - and unfortunately, Disney has a habit of "fixing" things that don't need it.

Re: The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition - Fall 2013
I’m also curious about “Deleted Character,” just because--didn’t TLM have several deleted characters? I know there was a dolphin sidekick for Ariel, an old friend of Ariel’s who was in Ursula’s garden, and an Aquaman-esque character? I hope they don't just talk about one of them.ProfessorRatigan wrote:Oh. My. GOD. They're including the full video of Howard Ashman giving his presentation?!Howard’s LectureI hope it's not just clips from it, but I think it might not be, considering Musker wrote on the Howard Ashman blog about how he hoped Disney would put it on a future release. I wonder if he fought to have it included? If he did, he's a fucking hero. (Well, more than he already was!) This has made me infinitely excited about this release!
EDIT: Come to think of it, I think Ariel had one or more other sidekicks that they cut, besides the dolphin. That's so bizarre.

Re: The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition - Fall 2013
I agree, that would be preferable - well done new art. But "well done" seems to be hard to come by (see the gold cover), so I'm happy with this.Disney's Divinity wrote:I don't know, I would more readily call using old art "lazy."

Doubtful. It wasn't included on the bonus feature list. It's such a shame; that short is so beautiful, it practically screams HD!Old Fish Tale wrote:'The Little Matchgirl' will be included in high definition, right? It's imperative!
That would make a great bonus feature (if it's indeed the whole thing and not just clips).ProfessorRatigan wrote:They're including the full video of Howard Ashman giving his presentation?! I hope it's not just clips from it

They didn't do that with "One by one" on the Lion King, so I'm not expecting the little match girl. Not in HD anyway. Another sd version wouldn't surprise me though.Old Fish Tale wrote:'The Little Matchgirl' will be included in high definition, right? It's imperative!

Do you think we can expect a trilogy box set, akin to the Cinderella one from last year? Or would that have been announced today?
