Aw, don't feel bad Jewel's Jim. I just wanted to point out that Jennifer Hale is very good at her voicework for the princesses, Cinderella and Aurora, but she didn't do Aurora in Enchanted Tales (she would have done much better!).

Ariel'sprince, no, I do not like any of what she sounds like in Enchanted Tales. She should have a much more operatic song and sound.

Okay, thanks Disney Duster for the info. :) (And I'm glad someone agrees with me about Aroura's voice!)

Sure thing, :D and no, not on the singalong, there was a Disney Karaoke cd series that came out a few years ago and I think that Lesley French was one of the lead vocals on Vol. 1. (The one I have.)

Ah,okay :D i don't have the Karaoke :D.
No,Disney Duster,i was talking about the song I"m Waiting For My Prince i posted here from Princes Tea Party Album,not Enchanted Tales.

Oh Ariel'sprince. Well, that voice is closer to how Aurora should be, so it would have been better but it's still not good enough for me, I believe they could find someone better. Disney chose a pop-singer on purpose because pop is "in" and what they think girls want.

But the song itself was not good. Aurora didn't wait for her prince because she believed in it. She wasn't allowed to meet anyone! And she wanted to be with a man she thought was a woodsman instead of marrying some prince she was betrothed to!

To tell you the truth, I was hoping that Disney wasn't going to do any sort of sequel to Sleeping Beauty, because (In my opinion)

1. Not too many of their sequels nowadays can compare to the originals,

and

2. If they were going to do a sequel, they should have done it years ago so they could at least have Mary Costa do Aroura again.

Now I'm not saying that I hate Aroura's segment in the Enchanted Tales, it just should've been thought out more carefully... (and casted a bit better) and personally, I liked their old idea better then the one they released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFaQUfpyONQ

I also heard somewhere that Snow White was gonna be featured in the Enchanted Tales series...I just hope they change their minds and leave Snow White alone. (That movie's a classic and I would be pissed it they tampered with it. :x)

Well they aren't real sequels because they aren't movies. They can be easily dismissed and ignored and not counted for.

Any Walt film is a classic, I wish everyone would stop thinking Snow White is so special as to avoid anything negative the other films got.

That idea for Aurora's story will be coming later, in another volume, we expect. They wouldn't waste all they did for that, Disney wants to make money of all it can.

The backgrounds look fantastic. The animation doesn't match the work put into those, probably because animation is thousands of pictures, there's more frames than backgrounds. Once again Aurora's song sounds too modern and extremely different from how she would sing in the film.

Well, I didn't mean to sound like that, I never really liked it when Disney tampered with any of their films, 'cause like you said, they're all classics. Sorry if that came out wrong, I don't really think Snow White is more special than any of the others, I guess it's just the whole first film thing, I guess. :? (And it's just that so many of the Disney films have bad sequels, so I would like to see at least one saved from that fate.)

And I do remember reading somewhere thar Walt never wanted any sequels to his films.

Oh,allright :D,i guess Jenifer Hale is the best,thought this one is good :D and i agree about they thought pop is "in".
I agree she wasn't waiting for anyone,but the song might mean that she was waiting to meet him and not waiting for him to come? also she might waiting for the prince for her dream?.
Jim Jewel-Don't worry,it's not sequel,it's just cute stories about the Princesses rather then a sequel :D (i heard rumers about Sleeping Beauty II but i think they got mistaked with Enchanted Tales),and i think Snow White is a bit more special then the others (thought all of them are special) since it's the first Disney film.

I hate when a character's voice changes. It's the thing I despise most about the DTV sequels and TV shows spun off from the Disney movies. When a voice actor dies their characters should die with them. Unless they can find someone who can imitate the voice EXACTLY.

And I hate it when they go forward with a movie when the actor is alive and unavailable ala Lilo and Stitch 2. Dakota Fanning was terrible. The movie might actually have been pretty good if it weren't for Lilo's voice which distracted me the whole time I was watching it. Chase did the series and Leroy and Stitch (which was made after L&S2) so why couldn't they have waited for her to be available for the sequel?

Stupid money hungry Disney corporation...

I kinda agree about if the voice actor has passed away, then the character shouldn't be either. When it comes to classic cartoons or even Disney animated features that once they actor goes so does the character. There are only some rare cases that another voice actor can pull off a good imitation of the original actor, take these two known voice actors Chralie Alder and Tress MacNiel, these two can imatate just about any character it seems, especially when they voiced The Cowardly Lion and The Wicked Witch of the West from the 1990 Wizard of Oz series on ABC.

Yeah I guess you're right. I do like the Enchanted Tales, I guess I just would've preferred the voice casting to be a little different.


I remember reading on one site about a direct-to-video sequel for Treasure Planet...I have no idea whether to rejoice or dread... :|

I personally think that Eric Jacobson is an awesome Miss Piggy and Fozzie. Back when I first saw Very Merry Muppet Christmas I didn't even know it wasn't Frank Oz (but then again, my Muppet senses weren't quite as in tune back then as they are now).

As for Steve Whitmire as Kermit, well I guess since I grew up in the 90's I've grown accustomed to his voice as Kermit. It doesn't sound exactly as it did when Jim was Kermit but it's not bad.
But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

It's a good movie overall,it's just Lilo's annyoing voice.
They could changed Aurora's voice :D thought i"m okay with it.
Yeah,i heard about a Treasure Planet series (maybe it's because the film didn't done well at the box office,thought it's a good movie),i also heard sequels for Snow White and Hercules.

You do know Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet are totally different movies, right? Atlantis: Milo's Return was a sequel to Atlantis: The Lost Empire, not Treasure Planet.

Crap. Wow, I totally screwed that post up. What can I say... I had a really long, hard day at work.

My apologies.
