Matt Zimmer's Journal

Why exactly aren't The Little Mermaid: The Animated Series and Aladdin: The Series on DVD in box sets yet? I understand that most of the sales for The Disney Afternoon shows fizzled out on the second release but I would think Little Mermaid and Aladdin would be a different story because the source material (i.e. the feature films) are so well known amongst families. Not only would they get sales from fans of the shows but if the sets weren't too expensive soccer moms would pick them up for their kids even if they had never heard of them before. They'd certainly sell as well as all of those dozens of Disney Cheapquels they used to put out. What is the logic behind not releasing these? Help me out here.

By the way The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh should be released for the same reason although that might be a tougher sell because that show was aimed at slightly younger viewers. Still, there's no reason releases for TV shows based on cultural phenomenon like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Winnie the Pooh wouldn't sell like hotcakes.

In honor of my one thousanth plushie I will list them all. All 1000 of my plushies are listed in different groups. The name of the group is followed by the names of the plushies in the group.

I fully expect this review to get me raked across the coals. This review is my opinion only. Your mileage may vary.

So apparantly Mickey Mouse and Friends, Donald Duck and Friends, Donald Duck Adventures, and Mickey Mouse Adventures have all been cancelled. I REALLY hope they get some titles to replace them because this only leaves two comic books (Uncle Scrooge and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories). I picked up the last issue of Donald Duck and Friends today along with the Halloween Donald Duck giveaway. I also picked up two issues of the new Spike miniseries Asylum and the latest issues of Teen Titans Go! and Justice League Unlimited. I got the final Starburst Edition of Farscape and plushies of Daisy Duck, Pinnochio, Ariel and Abby from Chicken Little at the Disney Store along with Big Bird from Build-a-Bear Workshop. I love my new plushies but I'm really bummed that FOUR comic book titles I read got cancelled.

I bought the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion, Bone Volume Four: The Dragonslayer, the latest issues of Angel Spotlight, Teen Titans Go, Mickey Mouse and Friends and Mickey Mouse Adventures. I also bought a Justice League video game (the kind that plugs directly into your TV). I also picked up small plushies of Sebastian and Flounder from The Little Mermaid.
