"Well, why go to a fine restaurant when you can just stick something in the microwave?
Except you don't have to resort to microwaves just because you don't want to go to a restaurant--you can actually cook.
No home movie experience, no matter how good you home theatre system is, can ever replace the thrill and excitement of being among the first people to ever see a certain film in a dark room on a huge screen with big speakers with a crowd of excited people. There just isn't.
I disagree. I really don't get anymore entertained in a theater than I do at home. Besides, if the film can't be as entertaining on a TV screen as it can in the theater, then it really isn't good enough in the first place.

While I will admit, the theater experience can certainly boost a film (as Wonderlicious pointed out already), it really doesn't make a bad one good. For example, I remember being obsessed with Hercules as a child simply because the Titans looked HUGE on screen. But I would've liked it regardless, because I think it's just a good film. And the opposite could go for Hunchback because, even though it gave some amazing scenes that were boosted by the experience (specifically "Out There" and "Hellfire"), it was still a bad film to me. And the theater didn't change that.

As for the noise, it's rarely small children that are the problem, although they certainly can be. Cell-phones and selfish teenagers cause most of that problem.

About the WALL-E marketing:
Pixar were angry about the little marketing that Ratatouille got (You know how Disney are lazy lately) so they decided to take part in the WALL-E marketing and I guess that's why WALL-E got hugh marketing.
So I don't know if they"re planning big marketing for Princess And The Frog (Remember again how Enchanted only got a trailer in May and the marketing wasn't really big when the film was released).

Part of me thinks that TP&tF will have a huge marketing campaign, since it's not only the first Disney traditional fairy tale since the 1990s, but also the first traditionally animated Disney film since 2004...so a lot of people will probably be interested in seeing it. But, it has, unfortunately, already gotten negative comments, so Disney will want to be very PC as to not upset any more people.

Seriously, Disney can't win for trying. :(

What movie is realeasing in Winter?
Because if there is one, a trailer or at least teaser might be attached to the winter theater release like BatB's was shown in with Little Mermaid and Aladdin's with BatB.
I'd love it to be along those lines too, I think Amy already mentioned that, kinda like this "20 years ago we showed you a mermaid and then went with you to a enchanted castle..."
It should definitely have the feel of a Disney 90s classics trailer.

Well, nomad2010 mentioned the "20 years ago.." thing, and I mentioned the types of trailers that Disney used to make.

Bolt is coming out in November...

and Bedtime Stories is coming out the same day as Princess and the Frog but one year earlier which would be great to attach the teaser trailer to.
