[I KEEL YOU]

Rottentomatoes critics grade can be seriously irrelevant because it uses reviews from when the movie first came out. So it can be misleading when it comes to movies that were ahead of their time. See The Shining and its mediocre score.

But overall, for me, there isn't a conclusive answer about which scores from what site I agree with. With some movies, I agree with the scores from one site, while with others I agree more with the other. I imagine that it's like this with every movie fan.

IMDB can still be pretty tricky though. Take Dark Knight for instance. As good as the movie is, there were a surge of people who gave it a slurry of 10 votes for the sole sake of there finally being a new #1 film in the top 250 and then there was the subsequent down voting to spite the original group.

It can still be a bit of a popularity contest.

This is just why I just stick to myself, biased people/liars on Rotten Tomatoes then theres the trolls on IMDB

Some bad news:

From Variety:


"Disney pulls plug on Selick stop-motion pic

Untitled project had been set for release in October 2013
By MARC GRASER

Disney has decided not to move forward with Henry Selick's untitled stop-motion pic, ending production on the film that was scheduled for release Oct. 4, 2013.
The Mouse House notified around 150 staffers working at Shademaker Prods. in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon of the decision. Selick can now shop the property to another studio.

Project marks the first pic Alan Horn has pulled the plug on since replacing Rich Ross as chairman of the Walt Disney Studios in June. The move isn't expected to affect another Selick project, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's "The Graveyard Book," also set up at Disney.

Sources close to the production said from a creative and scheduling standpoint, the pic wasn't where it needed to be to meet its planned release date and the studio decided not to continue production as a result.

While the pic had been in production since last summer, Disney had yet to hire thesps to voice characters. Studio also had yet to reveal any artwork from the project during its production or as promotional materials, making it easier for another distributor to pick up the film.

Selick helmed stop-motion hits "Coraline," "James and the Giant Peach," and Disney's "The Nightmare Before Christmas," produced by Tim Burton. Disney releases Burton's next stop-motion pic, "Frankenweenie," on Oct. 5."

I just hope they don't plug on the Gaiman-Selick film. I love stop-motion films!

Bad news indeed. I'm also a fan of stop-motion, and Selick has done some great work. I think he should have stayed with Laika.

Mermaid is INDEED the fall 2013 release. I know, everybody says don't trust Wikipedia, but for Disney things, it has been very accurate. And just a couple weeks ago I was on that very page, and they did not have ANYTHING about TLM after Aladdin in the chart. So this must have been very recent. And the chart is very accurate if you look at all the info about the other Disney Diamond Edition titles. So thank god.

As much as I love wikipedia, I'm not sure people here do, so you may not want to count that as a reference. Just a little forwarning, even though mistakes are obvious there

I'm not sure that info is 100% accurate. The Platinum/Diamond page has been subject of constant vandalizing and besides, the newly updated information does not have any verifiable source so it might be taken down soon. Until a good source is found, I wouldn't be too much excited.

True, but in all fairness, it is accurate in everything else that we have seen about Diamond Editions so far.

And on another note, to everyone, on the BBC website that has the Aladdin Diamond Edition Trailer and the Peter Pan Diamond Edition Trailer that are classified that Disneyfreak referred to, I wouldn't count that as so very accurate. True, I found nothing on Mermaid, but I searched for many different past Diamonds to test it. I found all of them, *i.e. BATB, TLK, Bambi, etc.*, but CINDERELLA does not even show up! And you'd think it would be classified already, seeing as it comes out in less than two months!

And I'm just going to state that two weeks ago I was on that very page, and all they had listed was up to Aladdin. Now, today, Mermaid has appeared. And besides, we all know Aladdin's coming, but no official confirmation from Disney has been released for that, save for the Lady and the Tramp booklet, so I still am confident Mermaid will be the Fall 2013 spot. (Cinderella, Lion King, BATB, etc. all had press releases Cindy's in particular was published last August.)

If you check the Lady and the Tramp booklet, you'll find that Aladdin is slated as the Spring 2013 Diamond so we have confirmation. No word on The Little Mermaid. Besides, I'm the one that have updated the Diamond information in the Wikipedia page until Aladdin. I just checked, and the user that included TLM is not registered so as I said before it might be taken out soon if there is not any verifiable source. That page is victim of constant vandalizing and random dates so until official confirmation the TLM remains unknown.

Wow 10+ pages of babble over platinum/diamond status.... WHO THE **** CARES

Wikipedia is no reliable source what so ever, anyone can edit it, true somethings are real, but that doesn't mean everything.

As to the site I showed you, that site is the official ratings for all of the UK's movies and trailers and all information is true. Cinderella has many classifications including bonus features and many other things. Here is the link. http://www.bbfc.co.uk/AVC291968/

OK, thank you, but if you just search Cinderella Diamond Edition (similar to The Little Mermaid Diamond Edition), nothing shows up for both, while if you search, say, Beauty and the Beast Diamond Edition or The Lion King Diamond Edition, things show up. That classification seems like every past Cinderella classification ever made.

Understandable, you have to search various things to find certain things.

Just got Lady and the Tramp in the mail today. This movie looks drop dead gorgeous.

[zoodermin]

Ok, since this thread have turned into the "Which movie is Diamond and which one isn't" thread, I will try to change the subject by saying that today I finally saw The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and that means I finally finished watching all the "Anthology Films" from the 1940s and that also means that now I've officially seen all 51 disney animated films! Now that I've seen all of them I will rate them from worst to best (in my humble opinion of course):

51. Chicken Little
50. Home on the Range
49. The Black Cauldron
48. Dinosaur
47. Make, Mine, Music
46. Oliver & Company
45. Atlantis: The Lost Empire
44. Saludos Amigos
43. Melody Time
42. The Three Caballeros
41. Fun and Fancy Free
40. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
39. Treasure Planet
38. The Fox and the Hound
37. Bolt
36. Brother Bear
35. Robin Hood
34. Meet the Robinsons
33. The Sword in the Stone
32. The Rescuers Down Under
31. Fantasia 2000
30. Winnie the Pooh
29. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
28. The Great Mouse Detective
27. The Aristocats
26. The Emperor's New Groove
25. Alice in Wonderland
24. Lilo & Stitch
23. The Rescuers
22. Peter Pan
21. Tangled
20. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
19. Cinderella
18. Pocahontas
17. Tarzan
16. The Princess and the Frog
15. Lady and the Tramp
14. Hercules
13. Mulan
12. Sleeping Beauty
11. Fantasia
10. The Jungle Book
09. Pinocchio
08. Dumbo
07. 101 Dalmatians
06. Bambi
05. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
04. Aladdin
03. The Lion King
02. The Little Mermaid
01. Beauty and the Beast

Note: From 01 to 41 I either love or like them enough to add to my collection. From 42 to 51 I don't like them enough to add to my collection or I absolutely hate them.

Well, that's my list. I'm generally satisfied that I like most of Disney films so in my opinion is still a good studio.

I don't know why I'm upset about Three Caballeros just missing a place on your collection. I know it really had the

[Show spoiler]worst ending

of all these but when I look back at it, to me it's the most underrated Disney movie. It's your opinion though, and I am happy to see 101 Dalmatians in the top 10

Well, The Three Caballeros has its moments but I think it doesn't quite click. To be fair, I have just seen it once so maybe my appreciation will increase with another viewing at a future time.

101 Dalmatians has been a favorite since childhood and is still awesome. I can't wait to have it on Blu-ray!!

[HarryPotterGrl10]
