Little Mermaid DVD
Souped-up 'Little Mermaid' DVD was released Oct. 3 2006."The Little Mermaid" received the VIP treatment on DVD. The 1989 film, which won Oscars for best song and best original score and is credited with revitalizing Disney's animated features after a long dry spell, arrived in stores Oct. 3 as a Platinum Edition DVD, a designation that brings with it significantly more bells and whistles than a standard DVD release.
The studio's eighth Platinum release - following "Lady and the Tramp," - marks the first time "Mermaid" will be available on DVD in seven years.
" 'The Little Mermaid' is a monumental film in the history of Disney animation that is beloved by everyone," said Gordon Ho, executive vice president brand marketing and business development at Buena Vista Home Entertainment. "It signaled the beginning of a new era of animation at the Walt Disney Studios that included 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'Aladdin' and 'The Lion King.' "
Like other Platinum Edition releases, "Mermaid" is a two-disc set, with one disc reserved solely for bonus materials. Several cutting-edge features included along with such expected extras as deleted scenes, commentaries and featurettes on the making of the movie. The DVD also includes several musical bonuses.
