I don't think that's the actual countdown; that is simply an ITV special from the looks of things and the description. Plus the Top 100 Family Films thing is being done by Channel 4. :p

Classic Disney live action fare...

Kidnapped
Saturday 26th November
on Five
4:25pm

I'm interested as to see what Disney films will appear over the Christmas period. I really hope that Make Mine Music or Saludos Amigos will pop up, as I haven't seen them (maybe seen Saludos, not sure) but I sincerely doubt it. We'll get yet another showing of Mary Poppins, most likely (as theBBC would dub it patronisingly) as a "Boxing Day treat". :roll:

Well naturally! If we don't get Mary Poppins on Xmas day, quite frankly Xmas isn't bothering with IMO. A Xmas without teh poppins, is nothing I want to be part of! It's tradition!

Burnt Turkey
Drunk Auntie Mabel
Fused Xmas Tree Lights
Arguements with Family
Unwanted gifts
Cousin Johnny being sick after eating too many mince pies
No snow
Mocking DVD's accent

That's the checklist for a good Christmas! ;)

Well here we go with the Disney Xmas listings

December 18th

The Muppets Wizard of Oz - 1.15 pm five

December 19th

Doug's 1st Movie - 9.25 am ITV1
I'll be Home For Christmas - 1.55 pm five

December 23rd

Benji, The Hunted - 11.40 am Channel 4

Christmas Eve

Spy Kids ( not really disney I know, but hey hum!) - 10.30 am BBC1

Christmas Day

Ernest saves Christmas - 1.00 pm five

Although as every year. A large portion of the TV listings still have "to be announced" holes all over the place, and i doubt a single one of those films if they do turn up will be at any of those times, the time table always gets changed about 9 million times before the final version is put out!

Hey, Bod...where did you find teh listings? Interesting so far, and for once, there's a Disney classic on Christmas Day (for the first time in a few years now :roll:), and from the look of things, no Mary Poppins. Originality has seeped into the listings! :shock:

If anyone has sky and the new Disney Cinemagic i suggest checking that out, they show roughly 2-4 movies each day, and they dont show the same thing over and over again. Alot of the old classics are being played just lately and the old live action movies. :)

You know how people say 'They don't make 'em like that anymore'! Well a few years ago they did make one of them that was like that! the result being:

Geppetto - 3:45 pm FIVE today!, which I thoroughly recommend.

Also, tomorrow

The Boatniks - 10.00 am BBC2

I was surprised to see BBC1 showing The Hunchback of Notre Dame on Sunday. I might be wrong but I really can't remember the BBC ever screening an animated classic before and on the rare occasions that an animated classic is shown on British terrestrial tv it has always been ITV. Anyone know what the deal is here?

The BBC have shown some animated classics in the past. They've shown Mulan, The Three Caballeros and Robin Hood at least once in the past two years or so, and they've also screened both Toy Stories, A Bug's Life, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon, The Reluctant Dragon, Mary Poppins and Song of the South in my lifetime.
