I am royally excited about a 2 Disc Little Mermaid DVD with lots of fun bonus features and stuff, but I think my single-disc limited issue one can hold me over. Besides, I'm willing to bet that the minister's knee will be edited out of the rerelease and it'll bother me because once again, Disney will make themselves look guilty just like with TLK and Aladdin. But it IS his knee; when the birds swoop down to attack Vanessa, you see the aerial view of him and BOTH knees are protruding....
That said, oh, the thought of commentary and wonderful bonus features and 2 discs of Ariel and friends goodness is SO exciting. I hope there's a great making of with some new footage of the VAs, animators, and Alan Menken. And some good Howard Ashman tribute. I think TLM is one of the most significant Disney animated films, and yes, I am putting my bias aside when I say that; it did for Disney films post-Walt the same thing that Cinderella did for Disney films post-WWII...it proved that the medium wasn't dead and kept the legacy, that many thought to be struggling, alive. It deserves a darned good DVD. 
And I know that's another thread, but I'll say here that thinking about this makes me think that the function of Disney Princesses should be to be part of films that begin a new golden age of Disney animation, like Snow White, Cinderella, and Ariel all did. |

When my twin and I were little, when we'd be excited for something, our big sister would tell us, "The faster you go to sleep, the faster we can open presents/go get the new dog/--" or whatever else we were excited for. Then my smart allec twin sister would start fake-snoring, and a couple minutes later announce it was time for whatever we were anticipating.

Wait until October 3?! I most definitely can't. I want TLM Platinum Edition now!!! Just why do they have to make us wait? Well, I'm just glad it's not Aladdin I'm waiting for. Then I'd go nuts.  |
I don't know if I'll get it when it comes out. I am a part of a Disney Movie Club, and hope to get it through there.
Actually, do any of you know how soon new movies are available through those things? I haven't bought Lady & the Tramp yet, because I am waiting until I get more DVDDs through the club.

| Slow down, Persian. The time you spend in anticipation is time you'll never, ever have again. Enjoy the present; the future will come fast enough. |

Oh man, I lost my mind when they pushed the date back a year
"Yay! 2003! DVD! Whoo!"
"...what?! We have to wait a year?! Why?!"
*sees Lion King gets theirs first*
"...oh HELL no!"
I'm interested to see how they remastered the animation because it needs a little assistance |
