The official release date hasn't been announced for Region 1 but it's announced for April 1 in France so I imagine that will be the same date or very close to it in the states. The plain and simple DVD isn't listed yet, but I imagine it is coming soon. I like the French cover better...
I'm still curious to see what the fallout for Tangled will be--in other words what its final gross will be and how soon Disney will seek to make another fairy tale despite public announcements to the contrary. This past week, it passed the mother test--my mother that is. She saw it and enjoyed it despite all misgivings--she is not a fairy tale person at all although she enjoys a good romantic comedy which Tangled certainly is.

on Amazon. But wait, you say, as you do the math. That's ten movies. There should only be eight since there were nine Cannon films and one isn't being released. That's right. The set is being advertised as MGM films, not Cannon Films and is thus escaping notice by most of us except for those like eagle-eyed Kyle. 
For now, there is no image feed for the 
And once you compare prices and sets, it really makes the most sense to get the big collection. It's unfortunate the covers are so plain, but the movies are the same so enjoy.

are currently tied for first place as our first book to be read in January for the SurLaLune Book Club. We have 24 hours left to vote at the bottom of the blog page, so please do so if you have not already. Even if you don't want to read along, but have preference as to what you read about. I'll announce the final results on Monday although you can see them at the bottom. If there is a tie, I will have to rely on ye olde coin toss to decide our reading fates...
