I don't mind the poster...

Wow...this is worse than the Tarzan poster. Disney could have done A LOT better than that.

The slogan is so clunky.

I actually like the logo. The only think they should do to it is make it brighter. It's too dark to grab attention. But the design of it is great.

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

I liked the Tarzan logo. It was very "cameron mackintosh" with it's simplicity.

The MERMAID has no waist but a hint of tit.
Can I say that?

Kinda lazy seeing as that was essentially the teaser logo for the movie in 1989

Before Aladdin unleashed a Genie
Before a Beauty tamed a Beast
There was...a Little Mermaid

Right there they're advertizing 3 shows simultaniously!

Anyone who's gotten the demo (and that thing has gone around like nobody's business) knows it's not crap.

im pretty sure that disney's videos branch is completely separate from their bway branch so it doesnt surprise me that the video re-release had better advertising, theyve been doing it longer. 'wanting more' is much closer to the heart of the story in my opinion- even in the animated series she was always about adventure and learning new things.

it seems to me tho that they(disney) miss an opportunity to feed their own machine when they dont advertise the bway shows on the disney channel. especially if ya know a kids tv show host goes into one of the bway shows.

I'm sorry, but from what I've heard on demos I really don't like the new songs - at least the lyrics. Maybe they'll be better in context.

Well, nobody will ever replace Howard Ashman's lyrics...

I actually think the tag line is really clever.

How do people get these demos!?

I feel so out of the loop...

I got the LB demo a year after everyone else did!

Can someone please tell me where I can get it?

A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

I love the demo, I think the new songs work really well into the story, the only song where the lyrics seem kinda corny to me is "All Good Things Must End", but that's supposed to be a funny/cheesy song that brings out the humor in Ursula's character...I like the logo, but not so much the tagline; I'm sure it will grow on to me in time, but Elphie3, you should have submitted this tagline to Disney:

"The movie you fell in love with
The story that touched your heart
Comes to the stage this winter in a magical production beyond your wildest dreams"

Of all the songs on the demo, "All Good Things Must End" is definitely the worst. I wanted Ursule to have some huge final robust song for the performer to sink her teeth into (And God knows Sherie can!), not that piece of fluff!

But, with that aside, I really love the demo, with the best song, IMHO, being "Sweet Child"... that song just gives me the creeps, in an AWESOME way!

Oh, and I hope they cut down on the Scuttle songs... one too many I think.

Maybe "Posituvity" should get cut, I think "Human Stuff" is the better of the two Scuttle songs..Even though "All Good Things Must End" is sort of a let down, you know Sherie is going to blow people away with it
