Is this the new DVD we are talking about?

They've also removed the priest's "knee" during the offending sequence.

Yes the DVD. And I never noticed the knee in the first place.

Re: Little Mermaid Changes and Notices

In earlier prints of the film, some had claimed that the priest's knee looked like he was actually a little...err...excited in the area.

They've altered the scene so that there is no ambiguity, making us all wonder if there was some truth to the urban legend all these years after all!

no....disney said they did that because they wanted to avoid further conflict

I completely dig that, and the same argument was made for SFX in the Lion King and the 'take off your clothes' line in Aladdin. It is just that if Disney has nothing to worry about, why bother changing?

I can see both sides, but most kids aren't going to notice a thing...

I still say it was his knees....on the DVD you can see pants...btw...here is what it looks like on the new DVD

Re: Little Mermaid Changes and Notices

Yeah, it just suddenly makes him even shorter and throws out the proportion between his upper and lower body a bit.

Ariel is still staring downwards at him....

I dont think there were any changes made to the ship at the opening of the movie. The ship was CGI, so it doesn't look quite like it "meshes" with the reset of everything... same thing with the cart that Ariel and Eric ride in

Re: Little Mermaid Changes and Notices

Yeah figment is right, that is not Ariel. That is Vanessa, Ursula in disguise.

Disney can say what they want about the Lion King, Alladin, and The Little Mermaid.....but there is no mistaking a certain scene in the Rescuers
