The thread about this I read at Ultimate Disney DVD said that Aladdin didn't really sell that many less than the other Platinums, just that people waited longer to buy it, until the price went down to that of a normal non-platinum DVD. That combined with the fact that its on TV so much suggests to me that it's still one of the most popular Disney movies, but the people who like it like it for the movie itself, they're not willing to pay extra for the special features. I love our special features and I'm glad we got them once, but if Aladdin's just considered mass entertainment from now on, I think I'm okay with that. <img src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> <br /> <br />I'll probably still complain about it if/when it happens, but, still... <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br /></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>AladdinsGenie wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">What I am worried about, though, is whether or not that will effect the release of the series on DVD, but if they haven't put the Little Mermaid series on DVD, then it must not be directly related to sales of their original movies.</td> </tr> </table> <span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I don't even care so much about a DVD anymore, as long as they do <span style="font-style: italic">something</span> to make them available legally.

They just...haven't stopped doing it <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" />. And Sleeping Beauty, but it wasn't platinum at the time. They haven't done it since 2003/2004, though, which is when those came out. <br /> <br />Maybe this is their weird way of getting people remembering it again so when it is time to re-release it, they'll go and buy it instead of having to wait for it to come on tv. I personally hate watching movies on tv, especially when they come with commercials. <br /> <br />I really don't care if it's in the platinum collection at this point either.
