I know but I really liked the style of LATT and if it doesn't come with a slipcover, I want something special *wait's for escapys rant about slipcovers and what's more important the cover or the movie*

This is basically what they look like:

Non-Shiny

Shiny

As I've said before; I'm getting the boxset of both TLM and TLM2 and I know that the actual boxset is shiny hence "Ariel123" confirmed it, I just really want my Little Mermaid 2-Disc Special Edition to be shiny as well. Has anyone else bought the boxset, if so could you please tell me what version you get (Shiny or Non-Shiny), thanks.

Don't know if anyone else noticed but there is also one other small difference between the shiny and non shiny packages, the shiny cover has the usual 'Disney's 28th animated classic' written on the back above the synopsis however the non shiny cover has somethin completely different.
Appart from this both dvd's are exactly the same.

Yes. We don't "do" Platinum editions. Nowhere outside the US does.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

I got the boxset at 9 this morning, and TLM SE does indeed have the shiny cover in the boxset. THE DVD IS AMAZING PEOPLE!! I know this wont bother a lot of people, but mine didnt have TLMIII trailer, only the sneak peek. Any reason for this?


Everyone MUST buy this DVD. MUSTMUSTMUST. In my opinion. :D

and ive also just noticed that there is no picture on the spine of the dvd, just like Bambi and Lady and the Tramp. I guess Disney stopped doing that with Cinderella?

I got my boxset yesterday (6/11/06), it came with the shiny version of the cover so I was really pleased (I might get the non-shiny one as well but I'll wait until The Little Mermaid is in a BOGOF offer, which won't be for a while). "Ariel123", I must correct you that the actual boxset itself, isn't shiny. I'm not dissapointed that it isn't 'cause it still looks incredible. TLM2 still has the same cover and trailers, it just has the new hologram on the side and "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" font (I wasn't actually dissapointed by this, to be honest I would have loved a new cover but I didn't think they'd change it, so it's what I expected. Besides, the original isn't that bad so I'm happy with what I've got.) The DVD is amazing you just have to get it! The picture quality is remastered well and still manages to mantain it's originality, I enjoyed watching every minute of the movie (It's my all time favourite). The bonus features are great too, they have a meaty "Making of The Little Mermaid" (I won't go into any detail though, I'll leave you to find that out for yourselves) and a really sad "The Story behind the story" about Hans Christian Anderson; in which his life is reflected in the story of "The Little Mermaid". There is also a 1940s adaptation featured in this too. There is also another really sad story on the disc called The "Little Match Girl" (Also a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen). Overall, this is one phenomenal DVD and it has to be included in your collection whether you collect Disney films or not.

Did any of you notice on the pics Nick Bryant posted, that on the shiny case there is a shiny Disney DVD logo at the bottom right of the case, whereas on the other, there is a regular Disney DVD logo with what looks like "With Disney's Fastplay". Since when have Disney Region 2 suddenly adopted Fastplay? :?

My trailers played automatically. There was an advertisement with a man saying "This DVD is enhanced with FASTPLAY, blah blah blah..." Then the trailers played as they usually do on Disney DVDs. The order I had was Peter Pan, Cars, Cinderella 3, The Little Mermaid 3 sneak peak. I'm sure there could have been more, or in a different order, but I'm thinking off the top of my head right now! Then the movie played, and when the credits had finished, it went straight to the main menu. there were also loads of 'sneak peaks' that could be accessed from the special features menue on disc 1. yamiiguy, how come yours did not play right away?
