OK, I am not the only one that bought this...
First off, I would advise people to take a look at the trailers... here are my thoughts:
1. Meet the Robinsons is looking good... But it is suprisingly resembles a Disney Version of Jimmy Newtron... I like the integration of Space Mountain into the film... I am looking forward to it.
2. TinkerBelle... Why? Dear god? Why is Disney making this? When J. M. Barrie made this character in 1904, he created the character with something very specific in mind... Something that speaks to adults in a way that flys over the head of children... (pun intended) The character is most definately attached to the character of Peter Pan... It is pshycological device... If you separate them, to do this secrite garden knock off with Enya-esque celticism, you really missed the point.
3. Platnum Edition of Peter Pan... Yay... In my opinion this is the greatest Disney Animated feature ever made.
4. Special Edition of Robin Hood... Yay... Not the best film, but I can't wait to see the special features - it should be your "Greatest Performance"...
5. Cinderella III... in a word.... :barf:

Special features
You know, I am disappointed at how sparce this disk was on the Special Feature front... You went overboard packing it in on Aladdin...
I think anyone on this board should simpley because on disk 2 is the CGI version of the proposed Ride WDI made for the Little Mermaid... (Stealing a page from other websites who have done the same... That is flattery... It's nice to know you're paying attention!) You know there is still time to build this... you built Pinochio way after the fact... Little Mermaid is way more popular than Pinochio...
No games?
The Back Stage was fantastic... I was not surprised at how involved Ashman was on the project, because many of the songs are very simular to those in Little Shop of Horrors ("Part of Your World" and "Somewhere Thats Green" always reminded me of eachother.)
It also begs the question of, "Why Disney Feature Animation ditched the Integrated Musical concept?"
I want to know how you guys got Katz to agree to be interviewed...
And watching Back Stage only wants me to see a fully restored Director's Cut of the Black Cauldron more - even with all its violence... If Disney artists worked over 10 years on that film... I wanna see it, for the sake of the ART of animation, as it was originally intended to be seen... Not because Katz thought it was a better film edited... But because it is art... Is it too much to ask?

The film:
Still works for me...
