CBS will be showing Who Framed Roger Rabbit this Saturday at 8PM CST.

I believe this version has the pig's head scene that was cut from the 
theatrical release.

Is the Jessica Rabbit/Marvin Acme Dressing Room scene available anywhere?
I saw some cels in the Sotheby's auction catalog, and was curious.

The first animated feature nominated for a Best Picture Oscar can now
be dissected frame by frame with Walt Disney's $50 "work-in-progress"
CAV laserdisc of Beauty and the Beast (Image Entertainment).  A unique
combination of finished color film and pencil animation, the
letterboxed disc also boasts an alternate version of "Be Our Guest,"
theatrical trailers and preliminary animation of the Beast's
"Transformation" scene.  Disney has no plans to release the finished

Has anyone noticed, in the short "The Prince and the Pauper', what the music is when the
guardsmen are heading for the castle with their laden carts?  The lyrics have (ovbiously) been
changed, but the  tune is "The Mickey Mouse Club March".  It took many viewings of it

I'm off to WDW  in December and want to take pictures with my SLR 35mm
camera.  I'd like to hear from others who have attempted to take pictures
inside Disney rides/attractions.

What speed film?  ISO 1000??  I tried taking pictures in the great movie
ride last time I went but just got back blurry pictures.  I used ISO400
speed film and a fast shutter speed. 

Many of the attractions won't let you use flash so thats out of the question.

What advice can you give this novice photographer??

How about good pictures of the Nighttime Disney parade and events?????

More from Dow Jones...

Eurodisney Year Loss 188M Francs Vs Yr-Ago Profit 249M

Eurodisney Sees Loss In 1992/1993 Fiscal Year

  The latest results are the first to incorporate operating income from
the theme park. Thus, they aren't comparable to the year-earlier figures,
which resulted primarily from financial transactions and construction
contracts.   

  Euro Disney said that high fixed costs linked to the initial, 24 billion-fra-
nc investment for Euro Disneyland, and stagnation in the real estate
sector also will weigh on results.   

  Walt Disney Co. has agreed to defer its base management fees from the
subsidiary for fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1994.   

  The fees, representing some 3% of total annual revenues, recently have
come under heavy fire from stock analysts, who claim they will continue
to threaten the interests of smaller shareholders. Walt Disney owns 49%
of Euro Disney, while the remaining 51% is floated on European exchanges.
  
  Euro Disney noted, however, that the deferred management fees will
eventually have to be reimbursed, ''no sooner than fiscal 1994,'' and
''contingent upon achieving profitability.'' In the current fiscal year,
the fees would amount to an estimated 113 million francs.   

  Walt Disney also has agreed to cap repayments to no more than 25% of
consolidated pre-tax profits.    

  As for the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30 1993, Euro Disney expects
a loss during the first six months during the slack attendance season,
followed by a ''significant improvement'' in the second half. The balance
of the year will likely remain in the red, however.   

  ''Overall, while our short-term outlook is cautious, the growing enthusiasm
for the Euro Disney Resort concept in the European market gives us great
confidence for the long-term success of this company,'' Euro Disney said.

The Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will be on 12/11, 12/12 and 12/19. If
you want to go to this I suggest you get your tickets early as they may be sold
out by the time you get there. You can call WDW information at (407) 824-4321 (
I think that is the number). You can have the tickets shipped to you.

   BTW this party is a special ticketed event and runs from 8:00PM to 1:00AM.
We went a couple of years ago and will be returning again this year. If you are
close to a Disney Store, pick up one of the flyers on the party or call WDW
information. I remembered I liked the party but right now I can't rember all of
the specifics. One things I do recall is the photo they take of the guests.
They print it and mail it to you about a week or two later. Nice photo even
though I was soooo cold and it shows in the photo.

1 minute = 1440 film frames.  Disney generally animates on every
other frame, so that's roughly 720 images.  Not all of them have
drawn animation, and some of them have *many* drawings, so it's hard
to say.

They don't start drawing right away.  BatB took more than three
years to complete from inception.  The animation work probably took
anywhere from a year to a year-and-a-half, overlapping story
development.

>3. How many people dose it take to do it?

Oh, HUNDREDS!  For BatB alone, there were probably more than 400
artists and technicians at work--many of them uncredited.

I won't flame this one -- in fact, I agree with it.  Those who have seen
some of the Disney Afternoon shows know full well that Disney uses quite
a bit of satirization.

For example:  there's a direct reference to the Rocky Horror Picture Show
in an episode of Disney's "Goof Troop" (the episode is "Wrecks, Lies &
Videotape").

I've also counted at least two (possibly three) episodes where the "Anvil
Chorus" has been stolen directly from Warner Bros -- Goof Troop's "Axed
By Addition" and "Frankengoof" and (I think) a Here's Bonkers episode from
a recent "Raw Toonage" show.

Guess turnabout *is* fair play...

I've heard 1995 or 1996.  Of course, all Disney has to do is re-edit "Make
Mine Music", "Fun and Fancy Free", and "Melody Time", and release it in less
than a year, so that the public won't forget "Fantasia".

Do you think Belle could be short-sighted ?  She holds the book so close
to her face when she reads (in town).  She also reads with the menu very
close to her face.  Reading while walking certainly won't help her eyes.
One exception though : she was reading with the book at a normal distance
when Gaston called to propose to her.

  I haven't seen it mentioned yet, so I'll say it: the GE Horizons Pavillion

walk in.  Of course, then you have to prove you're a GE employee before
going upstairs to the hospitality suite.  It looks a lot like the other corp.

The same thing happen here in Santa Cruz County.  Saturday morning I got up
and call the theater to make sure when the tickets went on sale.  They said
the tickets for the show would go on sale a 5:30, two hours before the show.
But at this theater you can go to the show before the preview and stay and
watch the next show (Aladdin).  Apparently what happen was the tickets went on
sale for the earlier show they were all sold out before the 5:30 sale.  What
was suppose to happen was they were suppose to set aside a porition of the
tickets for the 5:30 sale, and this didn't happen.  Alot of hearts were broken
by the decision of the manager and every disappointed customer attacked the
manager, expected me, I went home a cried.

How about this:

The prince was 20 when he was turned into the beast.  The enchantment had 
only lasted one year at the time Belle arrived.  Lumiere's remark about 
'10 years we've been rusting' means that the household items were neglected
for 9 years previous to the enchantment, and he includes himself in the
statement out of a love of histrionics.  (I think it would be in character
for Lumiere to exaggerate.)
