I wish I could see it. Too bad we don't have any Disney Store in the country.Disneykid wrote:To those of you who live near a Disney Store, next time you're there, pay attention to the television screens. I was there today doing some early Christmas shopping, and get this: they showed RESTORED footage from the film! First they showed the DVD trailer. I wasn't paying too much attention to the screen, but then I noticed the announcer was talking about the bonus material and the new restoration. My ears perked up since the DVD trailer we're all familiar with didn't mention it. As I looked on the screen, I saw the exact same shots that are on the regular DVD trailer...but they were smoother, brighter, with more pastel-looking colors than the bold ones we're accustomed to. My jaw hung open. Not only was Disney actually using restored footage on one of their DVD trailers for once, but they edited it so that it was almost exactly like the trailer that's been out for a year, only with about 20 seconds more footage regarding the restoration and supplements. It doesn't end there, though. They repeated the trailer again about 10 minutes later, and this time I was able to watch the whole thing and see that they did, indeed, use restored footage for this. Right when it ended, do you want to know what they showed? The ENTIRE "Under the Sea" sequence...restored, as well! I stood there paralyzed with my mouth open looking up at the monitor. My mom thought I was having a stroke or something. It really looked amazing. It's a huge difference over the current transfer. I'd say it's akin to how Beauty and the Beast looked when restored, only Little Mermaid was easier to get used to (Beauty's transfer really changed the original color palette; Mermaid's isn't as dramatic, but has similar pastel schemes). The biggest thing that stood out to me was how Ariel's hair was a softer and less harsh shade of red in the clips. So keep an eye out next time you're at The Disney Store. It's totally worth checking out.
Yes, they did.Lucylover1986 wrote:Who in their right mind would go out and buy the snigle disc & not the 2-disc. Surprised they're releasing separate editions like that. Did they do that for all the Platinums?

I'm still hanging onto the last little bit of hope that Denmark will get a 2disc edition as well.The two versions are probaly meant as an adult and a kiddie version...waltdisney123 wrote:Yes, they did.Lucylover1986 wrote:Who in their right mind would go out and buy the snigle disc & not the 2-disc.

Or for people who want the movie at the cheapest price contra people who are willing to pay for extras.271286 wrote:The two versions are probaly meant as an adult and a kiddie version...

Snow White only had 1 disc? Wow, now I'm lucky to be an American, because I have a 2-disc set. Then again, there are probably some 2-disc sets over there, that we American's don't have.Scabbie wrote:Snow White: 1-disc

Oh my lord, yes! Recently while my family and I were on vacation at WDW, my Mom and I went browsing through the World of Disney store, and suddenly "Under the Sea" came on the gigantic screen. I simply stood there, my face up and smiling. Absolutely gorgeous.Disneykid wrote:To those of you who live near a Disney Store, next time you're there, pay attention to the television screens.

Aladdin never said anothing about the original Whole New World musisc video, just the rendition and we got the original one on the DVD. Same thing with Beauty and the Beast. I remember they always advertised Jump5's version all the time. So HOPEFULLY they will do that with The Little Mermaid and give is Jodi Benson music video and Peter Andre's version of Kiss the Girl.
Oh, that would be more than awesome. A musicvideo of that kind would most certainly be appreciated!BATBfan1 wrote:We MAY get luck with the older Little Mermaid music videos to be added to the Platinum Edition release.

Disney would change Ariel's hair. It's her trade-mark.Unregistered wrote:for example, change Ariel's haircolor dramatically. Red is in, animators!
