Actually, history proves the opposite when it comes to Disney's platinums in Spring. Both Bambi and Lady and the Tramp were released over here in the middle of February, a whole two weeks earlier than in the USA. :p
yay, I love Peter Pan :oops:

pity we get the Autumn releases later though :x

Actually, more and more when there's no excessive global release window on the theatrical release, Disney (and other studios) are releasing DVDs first in the UK.

I guess it is to help combat people importing from abroad (although we all know price and making sure we have the same extras will combat that more).

I don't really understand why The Little Mermaid is a month later in the UK. Regardless, its the exception, not the rule these days.

If you'd check the earlier pages you'd see that it will arrive in March. ;)

Although I for one won't be bothering with it. Apart from a supposedly new restoration (laughs at how Disney can make such a claim) and a cartoon it will be identical to the previous UK release!

Not as it most likely didn't open in the UK until December 1981 or January 1982! :D

And also, even if it was released this year, there's not a cat in hell's chance BVHE UK would put the anniversary year on it anyway! :p

You are aware that the R1 'New Groove edition' has less bonus features that the previous 'Ultimate Groove Edition' aren't you?

Before anyone asks:

The Little Mermaid DVD cover has shiny areas like the Lady and the Tramp DVD. The Classics logo, the DVD logo, the shell and Triton'd Trident are all shiny gold.

There is a trailer for the Peter Pan Special Edition

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, has the same image as the previous release, also it is the same disc. When I mean same, i mean exactly, it has the same 2001 trailers and old style Disney Home Video logo.

Is there a date? Do we get it earlier like LATT?
Does it mention if there will be a Peter Pan II: Return to Neverland SE?

Dude, are the extras on this release identical to the Region 1 set at all (and are the easter eggs included)? And could you reveal any information about the languages and those kind of specs?

This is a little bit off topic, but does anyone know when Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid were released in the UK theatrically?

Now don't ask when, because I don't know. But...

There will be double packs for both Peter Pan / Return to Neverland and The Fox and the Hound / Fath 2.

Probably sometime early in 2007.

Also Robin Hood: Special Edition and Leroy and Stitch will also be coming early next year.
