will be switching hopefully I don't get in trouble - they need to stop all these multi releases of the same thing...should be Blu Ray and DVD.

However, I do think that the Diamonds should go all out like they did with Snow.

How long does it take for the coupons to appear online and where do I need to look for it?

Do we know if the Blu Ray or the DVD are getting the Frnech track?
Man has a dream
And that's the start
He follows his dream
With mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true
For you and me!

Okay, I now know what the deleted scenes are about, according to this review, and I am eager to see them.

http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/pos ... ly&t=26064
Deleted Scenes fill a total of 11 minutes, 43 seconds (including filmmaker intros). We find “Advice from Mama” (1:36), “Alternate Louis Introduction” (4:46), “Stop and Smell the Roses” (3:20) and “Naveen Confides in Ray” (1:54). These all come in story reel form; no final animation pops up, though a smidgen of rough animation appears.

“Advice” feels redundant, as it just reinforces Tiana’s all work, no play nature and her mother’s desire for her to marry. “Louis” eliminates a little of the character’s perceived menace; I think the final version works better, but this one’s fine as well. “Roses” gives us more interaction among Tiana, Naveen, Ray and Louis; like “Advice”, the clip just stresses character traits that we already understand, so it’s fun but unnecessary. Finally, “Confides” develops Naveen’s growing feelings for Tiana. Once again, it proves enjoyable but redundant.
Honestly, I look forward to "Louis" and "Roses". :)

Sorry for the double-post, but you go to disneymagicalsavings.com

And it'll probably be online about the day before release. They dont like to advertise these deals, and you know that.

Disney always has the coupons availble for print the friday night before release now.

it can also be accessed through princessandthefrogcoupon.com

take note the coupon is for the combo only not the single disc bluray.

Aww, I would've liked a scene with Facilier and Lawrence that happens during the time Naveen is late at Charlotte's ball. I mean, Lawrence disguised as Naveen is 2 hours late (at least) to it. What did he and Facilier spend all that time doing? Lawrence wouldn't have really needed to practice acting like Naveen since his old job as valet required him to be around to the prince all the time. Maybe it was difficult to persuade Lawrence to wear the talisman.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to watching these.

I don't see the point of combos. If you have a blu-ray player buy the blu-ray, if you have a DVD player buy the DVD, what's the point in having both?

Many people who have Blu-ray players only have one player and designate only one TV for it, but most likely have multiple DVD players, especially when it comes to vehicles, kids rooms, PC's, etc. So having the DVD as part of the pack is an added convenience while the Blu-ray would be reserved for watching on the Blu-ray player.

Or if you're like me and don't have a Blu-ray player yet, you might be thinking about buying one in the future but want to enjoy the movie now. If you buy the combo pack, you can enjoy the movie now while knowing that you'll be able to enjoy the Blu-ray later on without having to make an extra purchase down the road or worry about looking for something that might be out of print.

It's all based on your on preference, really. If it hadn't been for all these $10 coupons I'd probably still be buying the straight DVD releases, but since they're so cheap now, why not get the extra format along with it? :D

It looks like the Combo will be DVD-thick, so the single-disc slipcover wont fit. :(

Same here...

So far it looks like it will be $16.99 + tax after the coupon at Target and Best Buy. Best Buy has some type of book, and Target has a purse with the combo pack.

Probably I'm going to buy it at Target because of the purse so I can give it to my sister. She's crazy for Princess and the Frog she can't wait too see the movie again.

Coupon is just for the combo pack right? How many versions of the movie are there, i.e. single disc, 2-disc, etc.?

What DVD features are included in the DVD/Blu combo pack?
