subject: More about Disney merchandising...

And while I'm at it -- how come every new Disney release says "Restored" or 
"remastered" or whatever?  I see Mary Poppins is coming out "restored to 
original brillience"?  You mean the laserdisc I have, which came out 2 years 
ago, and says Digital HiFi, Digitally Remastered Video" isn't as good?  Bambi 
was recently hyped as a "fully restored" version, but so was the one that 
came out 6 years ago!  I think what's going on is that Disney knows lots of 
people bought Bambi when it came out back then, or they already have the 
always available Mary Poppins, and they now need a "hook" tn encourage new 
sales. So words like "remastered" are hyped now.  Sure they were remastered 
-- 6 years ago.  You can only get so good generating video copies off a film 
master. After that, it's all hype.
By 2005, they'll have stickers on boxes saying "All new, digital remastering 
of formerly digitally remastered soundtrack in THX, Dolby, surround with 
super deluxe "MIckeyTrack" signal enhancement layered in cluster 
syncro-quadraphonic 0db anti-noise aliasing, with super deluxe, all new 
"UltraColor" PlutoVision enhanced digitally remixed video with all new 
micro-grained zero-transform color renderment hand performed on every frame, 
now presented in Crystalsphere(TM) SuperUltraPixelVison."   And it'll be the 
same tape you could get in 1992.
What can I say...
