Man. I just saw commercials for yet ANOTHER Lion King DVD. Lion King 1 1/2 or something of the point. It's getting crazy over here. I mean, it's one thing for a company to put out a lot of versions of a game or application, but a movie with all sorts of versions of it? I can see the trend now.

Disney PROUDLY presents. A new original take on one of their most beloved franchises of ALL TIME!!!

Think you know SNOW WHITE? Ha! You don't know JACK about Snow White until you've seen.

"SNOW WHITE 6.0537468 revision 7!!!"

That's right. See Snow White, this time from the digitally enhanced, 2's-compliment and Y2K compliant, inverse imaging, recolored, darker "evil stepmother's" perspective as if told by Snow white herself. You'll never believe how much of a good impression Snow White can do of her stepmother until you SEE THIS RELEASE! You'll laugh in new ways, cry in new ways. And perhaps see the reason why 7 male dwarves are living in a house by themselves without a dwarf woman in sight. New song revisions will keep your toe tapping in a new Matrix-tranformed direction.

Note: The song "Someday my Prince will Come" in SNOW WHITE 6.0537468 revision 7 is not compatible with earlier releases or revisions of "Someday my Prince will Come". So get this new release on DVD today!!!!

I think I'll hold off until after they make.

Lion King MKB: The story as told by the perspective of someone's Kid Brother.
Lion King ITV: As told from the Pope's perspective of Lion King MKB. in the Vatican.

And pick up.
Lion King OTV: As told from the Pope's perspective of Lion King MKB Outside the Vatican. (Sure the story would be changed all around, but it'll at least be different enough to warrant a purchase).

Why? Because the blasphemous thought entered my mind. The idea that if I need to once again see Lion King character hijinks and hear 'Hakuna Mutata" again, I could rewatch the original release, or hear the CD. Maybe I should stop thinking those nasty thoughts.

another movie/series that pisses me off are those Alien videos.

i remember awhile ago hearing about a special version of Aliens that was supposed to be like 44min longer then the theatrical release. i thought it was the 'Special Edition' and picked that up, but the Special Edition was another version that only had 11min of extra footage.. and ended up being the 'Collector's Edition' that was the one i wanted. arrrggghhh!!!

then there's that "Aliens Quadrilogy" set where only 'Alien' & 'Aliens' are in that "Collector's Edition" format, whereas the rest of the videos in the set are just the 'Special Edition' versions... so you just know they are going to release yet another set where all the movies are the 'Collector's Edition' versions.

bunch of filthy greedy a~holes! :angry: :blow_top: :very_ang: :mad:

What about land before time? their sequels go well past their old age, extinction, fosilization...etc.... I think it was up to "Part 9" a few years back.

And yeah Mike Eisner likes to wipe his ass wit the clasics:

Peter Pan 2: Back With a Vengeance:mad:
169 Dalmations
The Lion Prince
Seven Dwarves do San Francisco(Snow White spinoff)

and finally...
The "Street" version of Cinderella, Starring Queen Latifah as the Loveable fairy Stepmother: "don't make me lose dis glass slippah up in yo ass, you LITTLE WHITE BITCH!"

-"RAUCOUS", "HILARIOUS", "SLAP HAPPY-THRILL RIDE RIVETING WITH FROGERKNOCKLE BULLSHIT!!!" raves reviewers.

-Grovelling kissass critics at NY TIMEs say: "they paid me to like it! So I do!"

And so disney makes all this money whether you like it or not


THE END....or is it the beginning of another sequel?

Disney just lost Pixar, so they are probably getting desperate now.

Disney can't make original animated movies. I haven't seen an original animated title, in terms of a fresh story (I'm not talking about the Lion King/Kimba or Atlantis/Nadia thing here) in several years. They found out with the Tigger Movie that cheap animated films with popular characters make more money than their "blockbuster" titles. Well ,when your blockbuster title is a turd, it's no fucking wonder it PERFORMS like a turd in the box office.

And heaven forbid they actually do more than an arthouse run with a Miyazaki film (Spirited Away), since they sure as shit don't want to have a foreign animated film perform better in the box office than their own turd animated films!

Disney has turned to crap and cranks out the sequels because none of the original Disney creators are there. Why did it take so long to get a sequel to Lady and the Tramp? Because Walt had a policy of NO SEQUELS which was upheld until recently. The constant diarhea of sequles and me toos has proven to lucrative for Disney to ignore. Evidently Tigger cost 6 million ot make and made more than 10 times that in the box office alone, no telling what it did on DVD.

Disney is a shitty company whose only saving grace these days are the Miyazaki films.
