I mean why couldn't they just make the colors a little brighter, instead of actually CHANGING the animation! 
I am still looking very foward to getting my dvd tomorrow, I just hope that the crocodiles were the most drastically changed thing in the movie!
the voice doesn't sound ANYTHING like Simba!!!! 
But most of the film was pretty much unchanged, except for color (like Beauty and the Beast had). My guess was right, the only things that actually went through a dramatic change were some of the animals in the "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" song. Over all, ok, but not the best pick of the litter. 
I wonder who presents information to WDS that makes them believe that we actually want things "updated"? It's frustrtaing to know that a select few are making the decisions as to what millions of us want/need to see. And based on the continued uproar with this release they still don't get it.Luke wrote:Stupid. Why fix stuff that isn't broken to begin with?
Edited?? What was taken out? The only thing I recalled as missing was the close up of baby Simba at the end of the "Circle of Life" song.catNC wrote:

Yeah, me too, but that was suppose to be there, and truely I thought it was integrated perfectly, I didn't even realize that it was the new scene until a minute in, now Mourning report was NEVER suppose to be in the movie, which I have not seen yet (the DVD, you know what I mean), and from what I've heard, it's absolutely aweful, the few clips I've seen in the commercials, looks aweful. I will probably see this, the one time, and then never again, only the "original" after that, where as I'll always watch the "Special Edition" version of BATB. Aladdin should also be getting atleast one new musical number, since there were 2 unreleased masters of Jafar songs, Why Me which is good and tells us a little bit about Jafar, and the other is Humiliate the Boy which was cut, after being edited several times, cause it was thought to be to cruel for disney, I just think it's a wickedly cool song, this was replaced by the reprise of "prince Ali" jafar style!Mermaid Kelly wrote:Well I have to admit I did like the "Human Again" from Beauty and the Beast!indianajdp wrote: I wonder who presents information to WDS that makes them believe that we actually want things "updated"? Give us a nice, clean restoration. PERIOD.
So I think a SE of Aladdin, with Why Me, worked out so it will fit in, and Humiliate the Boy, replaced Ali reprise, also there are a few alternative songs for the Little Mermaid, I think the original opening, not too different, would be good.they redid the scene where something that looks like the word "sex" is floating in the sky. they totally changed that part i thought. it wasn't anything close to what i remember seeing in the vhs.Mermaid Kelly wrote:Edited??

why does disney add a short little song and call it special edition? they make it sound "so cool" like you get the original and the special edition??? 
since I decided to not get this DVD, due to it´s false advertizments and destroying of another Disney original!!!)
