I really want to see some of their classics in theatres again.

I'm with orestes. Hopefully they'll start to put the Platinum Titles on the big screen again with Lady and the Tramp and The Little Mermaid!

I wish they still did theatrical re-releases... but with monkeys that run Disney these days, they probably just view such a novel motion as "not cost-effective." Friggin' bean counters. That really is a tragedy, too - I would have loved to see Lady and the Tramp theatrically, in its original CinemaScope - especially with deathie mouse!

Ironicially, though, I found that I loved Bambi as much when I was a young'un as I do now. I guess I just had a quiet enough personality that I could appreciate the longer sequences and drawn-out "reflections." The only real difference I see with Bambi now is that I can appreciate it more, uh, profoundly? The broader themes of the film are more apparent to me now... and they just make me love the film all the more!

Hmm...Paka finds long conversations about how film projectors work romantic! Anyway, don't mean to rub it in your face, Paka, but I have seen Lady and the Tramp in its original aspect ratio in a Europe exclusive theatrical reissue. Shame I was only nine and wasn't able to appreciate the broad canvas.

You saw it in 2.55? *Steals your memories with the Brainstorm device.

viddy well brothers, viddy well

No way! Shut up! Bambi is gonna be on ABC. I just watched that movie 5 time is a row last night why would I want to watch it on TV. Especailly with all of those commericals, you're better off buying. It's not like it's expensive, it would totally be worth it trust me, I'm a huge Bambi fan.

Yes buy the dvd it's well worth. Heck I'm 30 and I love Disney. Like everyone said, you're never too old to love Disney.

I can't wait...it's been so long since I've seen Bambi.

So, does this mean that you don't have any Disney DVDs what so ever? If so, be a teenage rebel against your old folks and go and save some money to buy Disney DVDs! That's what I did, only my parents like Disney so they weren't too miffed.

Seriously, I'm seventeen in three weeks time and half my DVDs are Disney ones. Do as I say...rebel!

I have quite a few, as well as my VHS's.

I'll probably end up buying it with my own money...so bwahaha, they can't say anything 'bout it.

Such great advice Joe!

Yea, but nacho, seriously, for Bambi & Disney, you must "rebel!"

Thing is, I have TiVo, so I don't need to worry 'bout commercials.

You're only sixteen???

And moving on...I'll probably not watch Bambi that night seeing as I have no TV. One of my roommates left, and he wanted to sell his TV so he left it at someone else's apartment so they could sell it for him.

Yep. Lots of people think that I'm older than I actually am on this forum. MickeyMousePal once thought I was thirty plus.

What age did you think I was?

Hey, at least people don't mistake you for the opposite sex!

Dunno what it is, but I've had more people (on various forums) that think I'm a guy by default... must be the writing style, or something.

You're a man, Paka?

I'm not exactly sure what Disney is hoping to promote with the Bambi airing. With BATB, it was put on TV in its original theatrical form to promote both the Special Edition version during commercials, reminding you that there's more on the DVD you haven't seen, and the Enchanted Christmas cheapquel, which was released the following Tuesday. So that was logical at least. Aladdin was done simmilarily so they could promote the sequels collection DVD.

Not sure what was up with Sleeping Beauty other than to promote that its DVD exsisted, but the reason it was chosen over Lion King is because they ran TLK (in its Special Edition form) in February 2004 about a week before TLK1.5 was released, to promote that. Still, it does seem kinda funny to be using the Platinum films to promote themselves; I'd guess that the cynical minded parents would assume they could just tape the thing instead of buying it. But, what do I know about Disney's internal logic, if they have any at all.

Just a reminder, Bambi will air tomorrow night on ABC at 7 PM central.

They ran an ad for the sequel.

Okay so that's why they put it on t.v., the whole thing was advertisment for the seqeul. Typical Disney!

it was the same of the DVD?

I hope Alan is watching Bambi right now.
