I was already assuming March simply because the typical window between a theatrical release and the home video release is about four months.Patrick wrote:I'm about 90% sure that Frozen will be released on dvd/blu ray in March. Just a heads up for anyone wondering.
I remember being on pins and needles back in 1990, hoping and hoping for a VHS release of The Little Mermaid! At the time it seemed very likely that we'd have to wait at least 7 years for another theatrical release, given the old theatrical pattern and the fact that their four previous DACs hadn't been released to home video yet. We didn't have internet back then of course; typically the first notice we'd get of an upcoming release was from local store flyers just a few weeks before.atlanticaunderthesea wrote:I remember waiting aaaaaaaages for things to come out on home release !!
Like, it was a serious option of seeing a film more than once in the cinema purely for the fact it would take forever and a day for it to eventually come to DVD/ Video.
Now, it's more like "naaah, I'll leave it and get it on blu ray in 2 months"
I had an experience like that regarding Aladdin on VHS. I think it took about a whole year or a little after it's theatrical release to come to VHS in the 90'senigmawing wrote:I remember being on pins and needles back in 1990, hoping and hoping for a VHS release of The Little Mermaid!

That sounds about right. I remember seeing Aladdin in the second run theater in August 1993 with my cousin. That would have been what, 9 months after it's theatrical release?disneyboy20022 wrote:I had an experience like that regarding Aladdin on VHS.

Maybe they got Demi because she already had ties with Disney? Kinda like how they got Christina Aguilera, who was once part of Mickey Mouse Club, to cover "Reflection" for Mulan.Disney's Divinity wrote:I am glad the tradition of a End Titles pop version of the film's main song has returned (I wonder why they didn't so something for "I See the Light" at the end of Tangled?), but still wish they'd found a better candidate. Thinking of young stars, I would've loved to hear Ariana Grande do the pop rendition.
Great, it's good to hear I'm not the only one.Disney's Divinity wrote:It does remind me of Hairspray actually.

I want to say it's "I Can Hear the Bells" form Hairspray or something similar. Anyone else have a strange sense of aural déjà-vu?
I totally remember that at 13 years of age, one day thinking "wait a minute…Dammit, Disney doesn't release new animated features on VHS" and then in April, opening up the "Coming in May" video store flyer and seeing "MAY 18" above the cover art and running around the house crying like a wife who just found out her husband is coming home from the war.enigmawing wrote: I remember being on pins and needles back in 1990, hoping and hoping for a VHS release of The Little Mermaid!

Since when do cameos have to make sense?Lady Cluck wrote:Why would Tiana be there? She's from a 20th century American time period?
Yeah. Belle has a cameo in Hunchback and her movie takes place in a completely different century.Kyle wrote:Since when do cameos have to make sense?Lady Cluck wrote:Why would Tiana be there? She's from a 20th century American time period?

CLUCK It was indeed close to a year, as the VHS was released October 1, 1993 (the theatrical release was November 25, 1992).disneyboy20022 wrote:I had an experience like that regarding Aladdin on VHS.

Of course, the movie had just left my local theater at the end of March. Movies used to stay out a lot longer than they do now, so I guess technically the wait was about the same…except, nevermind, If you add in how time passes so much slower as kid compared to now, those two months did feel like a year.
I remember jumping around and squealing whenever I saw whatever flyer it was (probably Walmart) announcing the upcoming video. I don't know when it quit playing in our local theaters, as I did get to see it in November of 1989 and getting to see it a second time was simply out of the question . . . my parents didn't want me spoiled or anything, you know. 
I saved up my babysitting money and my mom drove me to the next town over so I could buy the first copy I could get my hands on. I remember it was a huge moment; it had been a very difficult year for me and getting to own the movie was much-needed escape and distraction.
"Libre Soy" is a great title for the song.Mooky wrote: Speaking of end credits song, the version I saw had a Spanish-language version of "Let It Go" playing over them. "Libre Soy", I think that's the Spanish title.

I do typically see the latest DAC at least by opening weekend (if not opening night) but this time around I've been in some pain. I haven't pushed to see the movie because I didn't think I could sit comfortably enough in the theater to enjoy it.Disney's Divinity wrote:
I'm not spoiler-sensitive, so I've begun to listen to the full soundtrack to tide me over for now. I'm thankfully feeling better now (still in pain although it's manageable), but our budget's unusually tight for this next week so that's another concern. Sigh. I wish it had come out a month before when things hadn't been so crazy with the holidays and family emergencies! I'm also due to have my baby in exactly two weeks, so that's why this might be my last weekend to catch it in theaters. 
Not to mention both movies are made by the same directors.Lady Cluck wrote:Belle was in the same country though. I'm sure that's the only reason they thought to include her.
