According to a New York Times article (Sunday, 11-8-92: B1) Prince
Eric was influenced by Tom Cruise (note the nose).  Aladdin started
out as a "soft," princely guy and ended up as a maverick.

BTW, has anyone read this week's Time magazine?  Film critic
Richard Corliss, a fan of animation, devoted a multi-page article to
Aladdin.  His glowing review almost makes me think that Disney paid
him or something. :-)  It's just what Disney movies thrive on.

In San Diego, Disney's Little Mermaid is showing at 6:30am on Saturday on KTTY
local chanel (independent) 69.  The cable guide lists the program as "The Little


mermaid" not little mermaid and friends.  I did see it listed as a CBS prime time

I just started reading this newsgroup so forgive my ignorance.
Is the videotape of the Disney movie (as opposed to Saban) out
of print (or whatever the corresponding video term may be) already?

Any ideas on when it'll be back in stores?  (Yeah, yeah, I know I missed
the boat but I'm hoping for a second sailing)

Depends on the length and the complexity of the film, usually more than a

That's the reason they are delaying the Laserdisc release that I heard in an interview with

Sorry if this post turns out funny looking. This is my first one.
I just wanted to ask for a few tidbits of information on Disney soundtracks.

First of all, how does one find the Oliver & Company soundtrack on
compact disc? I've tried record stores and the Disney Store but to no avail.


Secondly, an earlier post asked for a complete list of soundtracks available
on CD; I'd like to repeat the request!

Finally, has anyone yet bought the very nice looking, very expensive boxed set
of soundtrack music, containing three discs and a book? It looks lovely but 
the $55 pricetag is a large sum to a college student. Any reviews you could
give before I sigh and dig into my pockets?

On a different note, would Disney have use for any students of international
relations (note wistful tone)? Employment opportunities at Eurodisney? Please?
Help?
Thanks in advance for any info. This newsgroup is the best.

Get real.  That will never happen.

I'm not offended my morals.  I'm offended my people who feel that everyone
is obligated to subscribe to their particular morals, and decides to shove

     A film titled "Aladdin" si to play at cinema in Bergen, Norway from

     First I thought that this could not be the Disney one (Disney animated
     features are usually released in Europe (and Japan) one year after
     the US release. Beauty and the Beast is released here in December).

     Then I asked one of the persons selling tickets. She said that is was
     an American animated feature. I asked if it was Disney, and she said
     she thought so.

     Well, I don't think so! (But I hope so!!)

     Are there any other American studios that have made a cartoon called
     "Aladdin"?

It's supposed to be the longest animated feature Disney has ever

	I'm not sure of the exact wording, but at the beginning of BatB in 
the intro dialogue, the narrator says that the Prince will remain a beast 
unless he learns to love by his 21st year.  They also show a painting of the
prince (the one the beast claws).  
	Then in "Be Our Guest" Lumiere states something like "ten years
we've been been rusting."  That means the prince was 11 when he was changed
into the beast and the painting is an exact portrait of the way the prince
looks when he is changed back from a beast and not the way he would have
looked at age eleven.
	Any comments?

If you think that one is close, try listening to "Somewhere That's Green" from
Little Shop, and then follow it with "Part of Your World" from Little Mermaid.
That was my first clue that Ashman/Menken did the music to TLM.  (I was in a
high school production of Little Shop when TLM came out.)  There are a few
parts of the song where you can just swap lyrics between the two.

For the life of me, I can remember if this has been discussed yet, but,

A friend and I watch BatB over and over to look for inconsistencies.
A prime example is in the beginning.  Belle's book, that the bookkeeper
gives her, has a picture in it, evident by the scene where she sits
at the fountain and the sheep bites a corner out of the page with the
picture on it.  Later, Gaston takes the book and asks "How can you
read this.  It has no pictures."

Another is the Beast's castle.  In the short amout of time since the
incident with the enchantress and the time of the story, it is amazing
how nobody even KNOWS about the castle.

Any other inconsistencies that people can think of or remember, please
let me know.  I think they are interesting.  My friend and I love the
movie (we watch and sing together), but we love finding these odd things
also.

No kidding...first off, VERY often a Macrovision-encoded tape will cause the
top fifth or so of the screen to bend to the right, sometimes the screen is
just plain unwatchable.

And it DEFINITELY degrades the picture.  I have a laserdisc player, and a dub
of a typical Disney movie I make from disc to my lowly stinking home VHS
deck is FAR, FAR clearer and sharper than the commercial cassette!
