1) Disney has grown up and realized they don't need a waste for the Digital Copy
2) the Music is an mp3 download code. No physical CD kiddos!
Meh, have the soundtrack on CD anyway. Don't need or want any mp3.

Let's hope the Digital Copy is no longer a disc. That's a waste.

Given the 3D combo pack is apparently only a 3 disc set, I would have to say it isn't a disc this time around. Which is great.

Meaning it will be, a Blu ray. Blu Ray 3D and a DVD

Here, you can find many wallpapers for various animated films, including The Little Mermaid. One of the wallpapers has the artwork for the 3D release. I will ask the administrator if he/she will make one with the Diamond Edition artwork.

My favorite scene from TLM is when she goes to Ursula's cauldron. I can't even begin to imagine how awesome its gonna look in 3D! Cant wait to see those ghost hands reach for Ariel's voice 8) :shock:

I remember the first time I saw BatB in 3D and it got to the scene where Belle opens the castle door and walks in, Amazing! I was immersed in the castle.

Come on October!!

If only we got a THEATRICAL release beforehand and not just a stupid Blu-ray. :(

The theatrical release won't happen before the Blu Ray. I still think that maybe at some point there will be a 3D release in theaters, even if it's just a one night event type of thing like through Fathom Events.

Only time will tell

Can't you just be lucky that Disney at least thought of the TLM fanbase ? The Aladdin fans got nothing.

Personally, I am! I think the 3D looks better in my home, than at the theaters.

Can someone tell me who on Earth gave green light to the release of this?

Not yet. But they will eventually.

I'm feeling less than lucky as a TLM fan because Disney slated the film for a 3D release and I was looking the most forward to it than probably any other Disney/TLM fan out there. But then suddenly, Disney decides to be a troll and axe it because Monsters, Inc. underperformed!

And now stupid Australia is getting a 3D (most likely theatrical) release and all us Americans are getting is a stupid Blu-ray an only that! And that's what I find to be completely unfair! :(

Is this true? Because Ive been saying all along that this pretty much the same situation beauty and the beast was in, with all the back and forth leading up to release, as well as releasing in other territories before the states. I really do think we will see a theatrical release, even though it would sound backwards to release the blu ray first. I'm thinking it'll release here next year.

^I've seen that clip art a few times! :lol:

But to be fair, Ariel was never completely foreign to the whole "come hither" look. :p

I hope you're that you're right, Kyle.

No.

I pray that you're right! It would only make sense to release it theatrically next year because next year would mark the film's 25th anniversary.

That was just one brief moment and it is something sexy targeted at Eric.

The pillow clip art goes beyond sexy and is destined to a girl´s demographic.

I... don't think you're looking at it right. I don't see "sexy" when I look at the pillow.

Some expressions can read as a variety of emotions. This is just one of those. Its not lust every time a girl angles her head down and partly closes her eyes while looking up.

You are starting to sound like Kathy Bates in Misery. God help the Disney executive that ever crashes near your backyard.

Oh, come on. Sure, I'd be all upset about something, but at least I wouldn't trap someone in bed and break their legs.

Thankfully, I am really really happy with all the covers we have! So glad it wasnt disappointing after so much hype .... (mainly in my own head, but same difference :lol: )

do you think I should buy the US release over the UK one ? Will that be likely to be better, or will they be much of a muchness, only with US packaging being better?
