My question without notice is this...is it worth chasing this up or not? The print is brand new so no-one has just 'removed' it.

Watching it with no sound, it looks like a trailer for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", as that's what it says on the screen in big letters at the end. But that's not what it really is, I think. Disney always requires this stuff be shown without splicing in anything additional trailers, maybe it's different overseas.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-10-2001 04:51 PM                     It's really just an ad for the Snow White re-release, on DVD I think. I didn't find that the audience reacted to it much, or even cared, but disney might be picky. John, do you have the international print? If so, disney might not be attaching the spot to that version.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-10-2001 09:40 PM                     It is a local print. Brand new and nothing at all attached.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-11-2001 05:55 AM                     It doesn't say "Coming on DVD" or anything though; it just shows the 'princess' characters from various Disney films, with Snow White being the only one that actually gets its title on the screen. It still makes me go "Huh?"  |  IP: Logged Tim Sherman Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: North Ridgeville, OH, USA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-16-2001 01:44 AM                        All that it is is a tribute to all the princesses that have been in the disney films. The big thing at the end of it with snow white and the seven dwarfs is just the one that started it all. you aren't missing anything by not having it. ------------------ http://www.autoramadrivein.com come on out to the drive-in and spend a night out with the stars" ME!!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-16-2001 10:59 PM                     ...and no-one here in Aussie-land has even mentioned it (or probably know anything about it) so I'm not going to bother. Thanks for all your input. BTW: This film won't win any awards, but it was nice to see a Disney film I could actually take my kids to see! After Dinosaur (PG) Atlantis (PG) and that football thing with Denzel (PG) I was beginning to wonder where the next actual 'Kid's' film was coming from! Cats and Dogs is PG too! Sheesh! Walt must be turning in his freezy chamber!  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-16-2001 11:21 PM                     While it may not be for the DVD specifically, Disney is releasing Snow White on DVD. I'm not sure of when, but reservations are being taken at stores.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 09-17-2001 06:44 PM                     Raise a champagne glass -- The Princess Diaries went over $100M in US/Canada this weekend. G in the States though it should have been a PG title IMHO. John W: "That football thing with Denzel" also went over $100M Stateside and was called Remember the Titans.
