Just in case anyone didn't notice on the front page (or worse, went straight to the forum instead of the main page ), Luke has posted four screencaps for the Platinum Edition DVD of The Little Mermaid, which confirms the Region 1 release date for the set (October 3rd 2006). I'm not going to post all of the images as proper images, but I'll give links instead (it'll add to the mystery...).

Well it isn't a special edition like The Sleeping Beauty, which was never made in the first place. Sleeping Beauty got a SE, but The Sleeping Beauty...not even a Disney movie.
Back on topic, it'll probably be the next Disney feature to be labeled both a Special Edition and Platinum Edition, just like all the platinums minus Snow White. And it's all in the name of confusion.
I just can't wait until the release of my favourite disney movie!
And I love the new shell!!!
They took us to a magical journey under the sea, they show us how a beautiful girl can look into a heart of a beast, they even made us fly on a magic carpet... Someday the magic will return!
Yeeeaahh!! This trailer has become one of my most antecipated extras on the upcoming Cinderella DVD! Thanks a lot for posting, Luke!
With this and "Lady and the Tramp", it seems Disney has finally started making use of the Platinum Edition labbel. It was about time!

I thought I was the ONLY one who was going to puke when I saw it! I wish they'd at leastuse that beautiful title logo from the theatrical poster and classic edition video! I AM SO EXCITED THOUGH!
Just because the DVD teaser included the shell logo doesn't mean it'll necessarily appear on the cover of TLM: PE. Whew, glad about the news. Now I'll only have to wait a year...
Just hearing the news about it just gets me pumped up for the release. Hopefully a month before Lady and the Tramp gets released, we'll get the art and extras listing for the DVD.
I can't wait to pop in the Cinderella DVD just to see the little teaser trailer. Weird now that I'm more excited for the trailer than for Cinderella itself! The site though found on the 4th screencap isn't active yet. Would be cool if it became activated and had the trailer before Cinderella comes out.

I know... I felt the same way when I saw for the first time the trailer for Aladdin.
... but, isn't too soon to get that trailer? Taking in consideration we had to wait so long for each of the nest releases... now we get one for a movie that's a year away?
Yey its on its way , good to know . I agree with most of you, the shell logo does look a bit lame, but it's only a tiny tiny tiny part of something so great!
Wow, another great reason to buy the Cinderella DVD. I almost screeched of excitement when I saw the announcement on the UD front page. This will be my other most anticipated DVD release after Lion King and Aladdin. And yea that logo doesn't fit in, a clam shell? Come on...

Lol, same here! I'm getting all hyped over a few screen shots!
I for one love the logo, and am extremly excited of the news! No doubt October will be a Mermaid fest for me!
