[quote="Calluna"]I'd forgotten that we'd ever even gotten a response to any of those petitions. :lol: Well, if they're actually going to write us back, then I'm not opposed to writing them again, at least to see if they're giving us the same excuses. :lol:

They're not still doing the two-episode DVDs anymore, are they? I haven't seen a new one of those come out in awhile. Anyway, I thought that's what the OAVs like Disney Princess: Follow Your Dreams were meant to replace? (Although they might go back to that now that Lasseter's making them stop making OAVs...)

I'm not seeing how a lack of seasons would be that big of a problem; Gargoyles had a similar situation, and they came out with "season 1, part 1", etc. (Although they never did come out with the entire run of Gargoyles on DVD so maybe that's not the best example. :lol: )

So they actually asked which episodes we'd most like to see? There were actually a lot of threads about favorite episodes in the past two years; if we do end up including that in whatever we write then those would be a good place to look for suggestions.  :wink:

[quote="APK"]1. Considering there are 80+ eps, how about just dividing them 20 epsidoes per season?[/quote]

That would be how I would prefer it. (There are 86 episodes, BTW.)

The problem with that is that again you'd run into the whole issue of just what the real order is anyway: the episode numbers, the original order, or the order that Disney shows them in now on TV. (I would prefer episode numbers, but there's hardly anyone besides the people who hang out here who even know about them, so most people would think they'd put them in some kind of arbitrary order. :lol: )

The main advantage I can see to having them released out of order is that they could put out the episodes they thought would sell the best first, to see how they do. Most of us saw the episodes out of order originally and were able to understand what was going on okay; they're pretty episodic, there's not a lot of plot carried over from one episode to the next.

[quote="APK"]I don't get why Disney is making it more difficult than it has to be. No, Aladdin doesn't have official "seasons" but couldn't they always just divide the episodes and call them seasons on the DVD? Or forget about the whole "seasons" label and just have it say "episodes 1-10" on the DVD the way the "Select scenes" section says, "scenes 1-5?"[/quote]

As your friendly neighborhood cynic, I'm of the opinion that they're making up bullshit excuses to avoid mentioning the 10-ton elephants in the room (9/11 and the Iraq War) which are their *real* reasons not to want to have anything to do with Aladdin. But the fact that they're actually responding gives me hope, as well as the sheer volume of cartoons from the '90s that have come out on DVD recently. Aladdin was insanely popular when it was on the air; it's a bit conspicuous in its abscence from the DVD shelves...[/quote]
