Weren't we supposed to see the trailer for the DE by now? I'm afraid they'll screw this up and push it back.

The release is over a year away though ...... there is still time.

I am sure after Peter Pan is released they will promote the poop out of it lol.

I'm sure the poop will indeed be promoted out of it

It's a Princess film, and a Classic ..... but also, it has the rare quality of being a non-Disney fan film as well. Bordering on being a cult movie perhaps?

I agree.

I'm excited to see how TLM will be promoted. They've promoted the heck out pf past Diamond Editions, including Cinderella (I see commercials ten times a day!), so I'm sure TLM will be promoted heavily, especially its theatrical re-release.

To be honest I've seen alot of hate towards TLM lately, it's sad. Alot of fans think that Ariel is a bad role model and selfish blah blah.

Then clearly they're not fans... and who cares what they think? Doesn't stop being my fav movie.

It's a shame the diamond line went to hell. I was hoping for a mermaid retrospect.

I hate to say this, but please don't set yourself up for disappointment; most of those just pain won't happen. We will have the DVD features (probably with some being dropped) and maybe a few new features like an extra deleted scene or song, and a focus doc on something random.

Actually, the ride will probably get a documentary ! Forgot about that. They scrap the DVD ride that never was, and have a lengthy feature on the two new rides. Even if they merged the Disney Parks blog videos it would be a decent feature.

Though having said all this, the Peter Pan US cover was a complete surprise after the disappointment of Europe.

Alot of people online are like this and the Nostalgia Chick would be a good example.

Watch her review on TLM and be ready to facepalm.

Well I haven't really seen any vast amount of criticism for the film; I know it has its flaws, I'm not blind to them. If Ariel gets a bashing, lord knows what the older Princesses do.

Also, have you guys seen the 'Ariel's World' collection toys ? They have a playset featuring Ariel and her sisters! Though it isnt the same set as the one a few years back, 'Ariel and her Sisters'.

We can always wait till Disney Marketing has a brainwave and reboots the Diamond Editions as the ...

GRAPHITE EDITIONS!

You know, since both diamond and graphite are isotopes of carbon ... an' all that stuff.

That's why I said I wish. Anyway at least the artwork will be new. For the Platinum DVD collection, I bought different editions just to put in my collection. I'm really looking forward the the animated series being officially released, but I feel that will not happen !
