If I remember correctly, in TLK 1/2, the first animals bowed due to Pumbaa's... outburst, but the other animals noticed, and decided to bow to Simba out of respect. It's plausible, and really I don't think that add-on made the original movie better or worse. Also, the books don't count. They give us an insight as to what Disney would be okay with, but that doesn't mean they're real. And I think Disney does count them. The original movies will always be marketed seperately, but when Disney needs the sequels, they'll use them.

Well, you did get me on the BATB thing. Although, I don't think Adam's clothes matter. I always thought that the glass window was an town artist's representation of the local mystery. And, might it be possible to have lightning during a snowstorm? I've never seen it myself, and science is not my thing, but it seems possible... When someone disproves it I'll look like an idiot.

Well, to me, the only thing that's ever considered canon is the original movie. If the same creators make a sequel, then I consider it canon as well (a la Toy Story 2). If some random people are assigned to create a sequel simply for a cheap way to gain money, without any consideration to the original product, story or intention, then, no, I don't consider it canon. To me, the only person who could possibly say what comes next is the original writers. Anyone else is just ripping it off.

What's this? redecorating? I don't think so!.
Disney's Divinity-I really agree with you and that's exactly why I don't count them,I count Toy Story 2 but not those cheap spin-offs.

Ok, I respect your opinion Ariel's Prince, but I just wondered why you call all the sequels 'cheap spinoffs' but you love Enchanted Tales ?

Enchanted Tales is not a sequel,it's stories about the Princesses.
I like some sequel,it's not that I hate every one of them,Mulan II,Cinderella II and Lion King 1.5 were good and Cinderella III is my favorite (Also I think that this and Ariel's Beginning will be my favorites) but they're cheap spin-offs (Espically since we're talking about them as canons),those aren't real movies,they're spin-offs,they just ruine the original films.

I know Enchated Tales isnt a sequel, I just asked as it seemed you hated all DTV, but like Enchanted Tales! I was just abit confused. Anyway ....

It seems as if the UK won't have to wait until September for AB, we might be getting it the day before the US! That is the date they have pencilled in at the Disney Store anyway ...

So excited ! :D

I don't hate all of them,most of the sequels are just cheap and bad.
Really? that's great :D did you got any new Ariel merchandise?.
We also will get it (Unlike Cinderella III),maybe because it's the last sequel,I prefer the US releases anyway :D.

I think that they were talking about Sword In The Stone (Which they already posted the old cover).

I think the notice meant that the Upcoming Cover Art gallery accessible from the front page was updated with what has been posted on Amazon/the forum, not that more revised art had been posted somewhere.

They said New AND/OR revised,which means that some of those covers are NEW and some are REVISED,Ariel's Beginning and TinkerBell are NEW and Sword In The Stone is REVISED since the old cover art was posted.

Any news on if TLM2 will be re-released around the time of TLM3's release? I know some of you guys expected it, but shouldn't there be some kind of official word?
