	Major bummer for you...

	As of 1993, the nice shareholder benefits are gone and 
replaced by a $10.00 off coupon on a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card.
Supposedly, this is to be mailed to shareholders sometime early 
this year.  Apparently, the low stock price since last year's
split combined with the old benefits caused the number of shareholders
to zoom from like 400k to 800k this last year.  I guess the cost of
giving 800k shareholders the old benefits was too much.

	I'm not happy either.

I just bought TLM sound track and I need help to determine if I got a 

defected copy.  At the end of the song "Daughters of Triton" when all 

the sisters introduce Ariel, my CD goes "Ari" and than some weird 

noise and than my CD player goes to the fifth song 

while there is still about 4 sec. left in the Daughters of Triton song. 

Is the end of Daughters of Triton supposed to be like that?

I would really appreciate your help.

A friend has asked me to find out something about a lamp he owns and I'm afraid
I can't find any info in the books I own.  So I was hoping that someone in the
group might be able to help him.  This is a figure lamp with Mickey seated on
lamp base.  The base is made of a hard plastic and Mickey is molded from a
softer plastic.  The figure is in color and is wearing a red shirt and blue
pants (possibley of a '60s or '70s style).  The shade is missing.  Overall lamp
height is 11.5", seated figure is 5" high.  Mickey is seated with his right
knee slighly raised.  He is leaning back and supporting himself with his hands.
The only marking that I can find are "Walt Disney Productions" on the figure's
lower back and "Made In Hong Kong" on the bottom of the figure's legs.  Over-
all this lamp is in excellent shape.

Can anyone give me some insight as to when this lamp was produced and what it's
estimated value might be?  I know that I've seen this lamp either in a book or
in a shop somewhere but can's seem to place it.  If you have any info please
drop me a line and I'll pass it along.

Since there's all these posts saying, "What does so-and-so's voice actor
look like?" (or even worse, "What does so-and-so look like in real
life?" - ugh!) perhaps it'd be a really cool idea for the credits to
show a little picture of the voice actor next to his/her character, so
that we can all go, "wow!" or whatever else it is we say when we
actually see a picture of Paige O'Hara or someone. . .

Subject: The Plural of "Dwarf"
Organization: Monash University, Melb., Australia.
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 00:42:03 GMT

Lemme quote a few bits out of Tolkien Books for you:

Outta "The Hobbit":  right at the start, before chapter 1.

This is a story of long ago.  At that time the languages and letters
were quite different from ours of today.  English is used to represent
the languages.  But two points may be noted. (1) In English the only
correct plural of dwarf is dwarfs, and the adjective is dwarfish.  In
this story dwarves and dwarvish are used*, but only when speaking of the
ancient people to whom Thorin Oakenshield and his companions belonged.
(2) [some discussion about the word "Orc". . .]

[Footnote]
* The reason for this use is given in The Lord of the Rings, III (Second
Edition), 415.


Outta "The Return of the King": The last couple of pages of Appendix F.
(This is not page 415 in my book, but page 415 in my book is not
dwarf-related at all.)

It may be observed that in this book as in The Hobbit the form dwarves
is used, although the dictionaries tell us that the plural of dwarf is
dwarfs.  It should be dwarrows (or dwerrows), if singular and plural had
each gone its own way down the years, as have man and men, or goose and
geese.  But we no longer speak of a dwarf as often as we do of a man, or
even of a goose, and memories have not been fresh among Men to keep hold
of a special plural for a race now abandoned to folk-tales, where at
least a shadow of truth is preserved, or at last to nonsense-stories in
which they have become mere figures of fun.
. . .
It is to mark this that I have ventured to use the form dwarves, and so
remove them a little, perhaps, from the sillier tales of these latter
days. . . .


Well, there you have it.  Regardless of the correctness of the usage
"dwarves" according to modern dictionaries, Tolkien evidently believed
he was using a nonstandard word.  Perhaps even those "nonsense-stories
in which they have become mere figures of fun" was *referring* to the
Snow White film . . . ?

I haven't sent away for the complete rules (although the address to write

Leonard Maltin said that "So Dear to My Heart" was Walt's favorite
movie of all time.  I read in one of the biographies that
"Cinderella" was reportedly Walt's favorite animated feature.  But
Snow White always has that proverbial "special place in one's
heart."  Sorry for sounding corny. :-)

I have a hunch that Snow White will be released on video in the
not-so-distant future (on the order of years, not decades).  How
long can Disney hold out with hundreds of millions of $$$$ in
revenue staring them in the face?  How many decades would it take for
theatrical reissues to bring in that much?  They'll do it while
Disney is still rapidly gaining popularity, as they are now.  If
they do decide to reissue Snow White next year, as it is rumored,
and not to release it on video, they'll probably disappoint more
than just the hard-core fanatics.  If they do release the video,
it'll be a... "surprise."

Quote from a geeky Mouse-eared executive on Warner/Amblin's Tiny
Toon Adventures: "Let's release Snow White on video!"  He was
talking to an executive named "Jeffrey." :-)

p.s. I left the distribution as it was on the original posting, but

If not, do those of you who live outside its coverage area still like

I'm not saying that I know, but the last I've heard is that The Lion
King has been delayed, to be released perhaps in early 1994.  Disney
officials have stated in interviews that they do not wish to rush
the project, as they had Aladdin.  The Tim Burton film is expected to
be ready for release late this year, as scheduled.  Pocahontas should be
the 1995 (or late 1994) animated feature, but who can really say at
this point?

>How come no one from Disney ever posts here?

I assume that you mean employees closely connected with the studio.
Probable reasons:

1) They're not allowed to--what they say might be considered official.
2) Their mailboxes would be flooded with questions.
3) There probably aren't that many studio employees with UseNet
access (my guess)--I do know that WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering)
lurks about the Internet, but they don't necessarily read this
group.

OK Jorge I'll explain. There was an article in the Disney News a while back
about the 'Hidden Mickeys'. There are the not so obvious little resembelences
or the world famous mouse. Sometimes we are speaking of hard to find things
(like a small cloud formation in Splash Mountain) to the largest (the layout 
of the Disney-MGM studio in front of the chinese theater). Once a person has
gone to the parks a few times, it is sometimes hard to go on a ride again and
again (for the sake of the kids) without something NEW to look for. I at 
least am one of these people. Even though I've been on the Great Movie Ride
quite a few times, I STILL go on it to look for all of the reported Hidden
Mickeys.

   There were some occasional postings on the subject. I accumilated them and
put together a list. I posted this list and from time to time, people send me
additions or they just post them on the net. Either way I add these to the list
and I try to post this list about once a month. I tried to post the list
earlier this week but it never got there. I'll try again tomorrow.

   I'm sure that once you see this list, you'll understand and maybe you will

I doubt this, considering Edgar Rice Burroughs used the name Simba for
Tarzan's fuzzy friend, and especially considering that "simba" is the
Swahili word for "lion".
