<center><b><u>UltimateDisney.com DVD Review of the Year</u></b></center>
:

Everybody loves a Disney DVD and equally an UltimateDisney.com review of one! Whilst there are many people who may just type in "www.ultimatedisney.com" and go straight onto the forums for jovial fun, it should not be forgotten how integral the reviews are at this website, and how they have shaped it since its inception all those years ago. And thus, I am pleased to present the award for the UltimateDisney.com Review of the Year. The nominees are...

Lilo and Stitch: 2-Disc Big Wave Edition DVD by Luke Bonanno

• Luke shares his thoughts on the 2002 animated hit and its respective 2-Disc Special Edition, which has finally surfed onto store shelves.

Pinocchio: Platinum Edition DVD by Luke Bonanno

• If there's any Disney film which really deserves the title of "classic", this is the one, in my humble opinion. The enchanting story of a puppet brought to life and his exposure to a world both charming and sinister, Luke reviews this animated fantasy in its Platinum Edition glory.

Sleeping Beauty: Platinum Edition DVD by Luke Bonanno

• Who can forget Princess Aurora, the stunning art direction of Eyvind Earle and, above all, that evil villain Malifecant? This classic adaptation of one of the world's most famous fairy-tales receives a Platinum Edition, which in turn receives a critique by Luke!

WALL•E: 3-Disc Special Edition DVD by Luke Bonanno

• A charming environmental fable about a robot who wants to fall in love, bowing on DVD in a 3-Disc set and reviewed by Luke.

Walt Disney Animation Collection: Classic Short Films - Volume 5: The Wind in the Willows by Kelvin Cedeno

• Kelvin looks at a new volume in a new line of short-film anthologies. The headliner here is Disney's animated adaptation of Kenneth Graham's whimsical tale about an aristocratic amphibian and his hapless friends.

But that was only a shortlist. The winner is...

thought crossed my mind. Just ignored it

Here's another skit, this time from <b>Julian Carter</b>, presenting our first special category award!:
<hr>

<center><b><u>Special Award: Most Artistic Member of the Year </u></b></center>
:

This award is presented by Pierre de Toilettes, a flamboyant and often melodramatic French-born showman, artist and illusionist. Pierre’s behaviour often juggles between the calm and composed to the somewhat eccentric. He’s rather touchy when people mock his surname in any way … which is part of his birth name and not simply a stage name.

Pierre de Toilettes

: (enters in a shower of sparks and pyrotechnics; French accent) "Ladies and gentlemen … being both an artist and an illusionist, I am about to unceremoniously yank you out of your seats, elevate your souls sky high, and immerse you in an unforgettable artful journey that will find us the most artistic, currently active user at Ultimate Disney.com!

Audience

: (intrigued) "Oooh!"
Pierre de Toilettes rotates both his arms in an outward spiral, a wind machine makes his clothes flutter, and the entire hall shakes relentlessly. The ceiling seems to fade away into a starry night sky. Everybody is enthralled, wondering how something of this sort could possibly be just a simple illusion.

Pierre de Toilettes

: "And, I have taken us high into the heavens!"

Aaron

: (to Luke) "Wow … this toilet guy really is goo-"

Pierre de Toilettes

: "Ah! What is that I hear? You there!"

Aaron

: "Er?"

Pierre de Toilettes

: "You just called me Toilet Guy! I am Pierre de Toilettes! It is a dignified name that you have just insulted! Do you dare argue that indisputable fact!?"

Aaron

: (mumbles) "Um … sorry."

Pierre de Toilettes

: "Sorry!? Just ‘sorry’!? If you think I’m going to tolerate this sort of attitude …"

Pierre de Toilettes rants and raves. In the meantime …

Marge

: (whispers to her friend Mabel) "I’m so fed up with all this toilet humour, Mabel. Don’t know what they think is funny about it. Did this Pierre think he was being awfully clever opting for such a stupid stage name?"

Mabel

: "You’re so right, Marge. I miss the comedy we had back in ‘55."

Marge

: "Oh, Jerry Lewis! Cute!"

Pierre de Toilettes proceeds with the show.

Pierre de Toilettes

: "And now I will call upon me the three great Renaissance painters and sculptors to decide who is Ultimate Disney’s best artist!"
With a swish of Pierre de Toilettes’s hand, three translucent spirits enter the hall. They descend, alight with an ethereal glow.

Leonardo da Vinci

: "Dio mio! Sono vivo! Sono vivo!"

Michelangelo Buonarroti

: "Sei sempre stato un idiota! Non hai mai stato più morto!"

Pierre de Toilettes

: "Ahem! Translation, please?"

Michelangelo Buonarroti

: "Oh yes, of course. (to Leonardo) You idiot! You idiot! You’ve never been deader! You’d think the floating sensation and general lack of opacity would’ve clued you in by now. Sheesh!"

Leonardo da Vinci

: "I never liked you. (grumble grumble) Bighead. (grumble grumble)"

Michelangelo Buonarroti

: "Your Mona Lisa looks like a sissy."

Leonardo da Vinci

: (with obvious effort) "I will retain my composure and refrain from saying what is so darned wrong with that sentence."

Michelangelo Buonarroti

: "I might add that your Last Supper resembles peeling corn flakes, thanks to your brilliant experiments!"

Leonardo da Vinci

: (hurt) "Well … your David could use a spot of Viagra! So there!"

Michelangelo Buonarroti:

"Your sketches are scribbles!"

Leonardo da Vinci

: "Your fresco depicting Adam isn’t that hot!"

Michelangelo Buonarroti

: "Your paintings are smelly!"

Leonardo da Vinci

: "Your face is smelly!"

Raphael

: "And what is going on here, gentlemen?"

Leonardo

and Michelangelo: (in unison) "You keep your oils out of this!"

Raphael

: (welling up) "Fine! I’ll take my palette, go in the corner and sulk!"

Joan Rivers

: "Hi boys! I thought I’d visit! Any of you interested in a Looney Tunes vinyl handbag?"

Leonardo da Vinci

: "Mamma mia! Che bellezza!"

Michelangelo Buonarroti

: "Not interested."

Leonardo da Vinci

: (excitedly) "Ma che donna sensuale! I suoi occhi! I suoi capelli!"

Joan Rivers

: "Why I don’t know what lingo this guy’s speakin’, but (laughs) I sure feel like I’m being flattered!"

Leonardo da Vinci

: "Bambola mia, noi dobbiamo fare …"

Joan Rivers

: "Yes?"

Leonardo da Vinci

: " … il sesso!"

Joan Rivers

: "Now that sounds familiar. Let me see. Somebody hand me an Italian-English dictionary."

Joan Rivers’ assisitant

: "Here you are, madame."

Joan Rivers

: (leafs through pages) "So, lemme see. Oh, here it is! Hmmm …"

Leonardo da Vinci

: "Bacio?"

Joan Rivers

: (finally comprehending what’s going on) "Oh, you perv!! (slaps Leonardo’s ghostly figure in the face) How dare you sexually harass me!? Like I’d be interested in a mouldy old coot like you, and it’s not like you’ve got anything to offer. A carrot would make for more satisfying sex. And not to mention that I’m engaged to ol’ David here."

ichabod

: "Yuck. I am so suing her for slander!"

Luke

: "Joan always had an undeniable attraction for our ichabod."

ichabod

: "You’re in on this, aren’t you!?"

Pierre de Toilettes

: "ENOUGH!!! I have had it up to here with all of you! You three (points to Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael) can get your Renaissance butts back where they belong!

Raphael

: "But sir, I didn’t do anything! Leonardo started it!"

Pierre de Toilettes

: "That is entirely beside the point!"

Raphael

: "Boo-hoo! Sob!"

Pierre de Toilettes

: "As for you, Ms Rivers … I’ll take care of you!"

Joan Rivers

: "Handbag?"

With a dramatic gesture, Pierre de Toilettes makes Joan disappear in a cloud of acrid smoke. A solitary, beige, leather handbag rather poignantly remains where she once stood. A fallen warrior …

Nah. Pierre de Toilettes just sent her to the Galapagos Islands.

Pierre de Toilettes

: "Now that that’s taken care of, we can finally declare the winner - which I initially wanted to do in a really lofty manner involving all three of those buffoons - but their bad behaviour requires me to dole out punishments."

enigmawing

: (whispering to slave2moonlight) "You know, Nathan, I was actually getting quite a kick out of those three bitching around."

slave2moonlight

: "Me too. I was hoping we’d get a battle of the neo-classicists next."

Luke

: "And so, we come to our result."

Escapay

: (indignantly) "Talk about an anti-climax."

Mr. Toad

: "Yeah. I’d reckon Death himself could take out the show with more of a bang."

Death

: "Don’t tempt me."

Luke

: And now, the award for Most Artistic Member of the Year...!

Here to present the coveted award for New Member of the Year, please welcome back <b>Julian Carter</b>!!!
<hr>

<center><b><u>New Member of the Year</u></b></center>
:

This award is presented by the fictional Robert Ascaleigh. Robert is a snobby, narcissistic and borderline evil presenter who is portrayed as a caricature of flamboyant TV show hosts.

Robert Ascaleigh

: "And the UD Forum Awards resume! We are about to reward those who joined us only recently … those who are still young in forum spirit, those who claim to be something else … er, unexpected, those who have an affinity for underscores, those who on joining were unwittingly drafted into Luke’s Internet Army of Certain Death on signing a 3000 page contract written in point size 1 text … but don’t tell anyone."

Audience

: (chanting) "Luke’s secret is safe with us!"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "And now allow me to introduce our lovely and very attractive contestants!" (flashes smile)

Cut to a video montage of all five nominees’ most poignant life and UD moments, accompanied by soppy music. Nominees enter in sequence from the left side of the stage, now accompanied by upbeat and insipid tunes.

Robert Ascaleigh

: "First up is Goliath! He lives his life perched precariously on the spires and bell towers of the various Gothic European cathedrals! Isn’t that right, Goliath?"

Goliath

: "Actually, I li-"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "Of course that’s right, you crusty old gargoyle, you! Next up is Neal! Neal always has the must up-to-date information on most animation studios, including Walt Disney Animation Studios! It’s said he knows what films the studios have in their development pipeline before they even enter their development phase. He’s that well-informed! Isn’t that right Neal?"

Neal

: "Well, quite hon-"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "But of course that’s right! Why give you the chance to answer when I can answer for you myself, and continue to hog the limelight!? (smiles at the camera) Now have a seat, Neal, and make yourself comfortable!"

Audience

: (chanting) "And make yourself comfortable!"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "Next up is The_Iceflash, who bears more than just a few grudges against a certain poor, defenceless, optical disc medium. Isn’t that right, Ice Guy?"

The_Iceflash

: "Eh?"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "Of course it is! (flashes smile) I’m surprised Sony haven’t yet kidnapped your pet hamster for ransom or threatened to reveal the finer details of your intimate relationship with Ms DVD to the world for dissing their cute, little blue masterpiece!"

The_Iceflash

: "What utter bu-"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "And up next is a user who apparently is fond of doubling. I give you tlc38tlc38! Isn’t that right, tlc38?"

tlc38tlc38

: "Well, uh … well-"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "Of course it is. You just proved it yourself. Nothing better than a reiterated word in in a three-word fragmented sentence to scientifically verify my uncannily accurate theories!"

Audience

: (chanting) "Uncannily Accurate Theories!"

Robert Ascaleigh

: "And here comes zackisthewalrus. And what a lovely walrus, zackisthewalrus is! He comes in typical walrus size, weighing in at 2000 kg - complete with whiskers and tusks. If he wins this award, he’ll definitely have much to blubber about. Ha! Get it!? Oh … I crack myself up!"

(complete and utter silence)

Robert Ascaleigh

: (snootily) "Well, I can’t be blamed if my lovely audience’s threshold for humour is through the roof. But back to Zack. Zack, how do you feel that you haven’t yet been exploited as a source of ivory? I mean, those are some first-class tusks, man! They’d look great on my piano keyboard! Isn’t that right, Zack?" (flashes smile)

zackisthewalrus

(in perfect human form): " … "

Robert Ascaleigh

: "And to follow that scintillating answer we have the award for the New Member of the Year! Everybody hold on to your knickers!"

tlc38tlc38

: (interrupts) "Is this how award nominees are treated!?"

The_Iceflash

: "Not a chance to say a word!"

Neal

: "I never even got to quickly plug my Disney Order website! Where are UD‘s single on-air advertisement allowances as described on Luke‘s 3000 page contract!?"

The_Iceflash

: "Wow. You actually read that thing?"

zackisthewalrus

and Goliath: "Mutiny! Rebellion!"

Luke

: (hastily) "And the award for New Member of the Year goes to *insert winning member’s name here*!"
