It combines both live action and animation in the film and Miss Price could definitely be considered a "magical character" as she is training to be a witch. Also, I recall this film being featured in a Sketches article not too long ago, which could have been an early hint of something from this film coming down the pipeline.Jason S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09931011774119955384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-13455318763779935812007-09-27T10:08:00.000-04:002007-09-27T10:08:00.000-04:00As much as I'm enjoying the previews for Enchanted...As much as I'm enjoying the previews for <B>Enchanted</B> and Lord knows I love <B>Susan Sarandon</B>, I truly <B>hope</B> it won't be something from this film.<BR/><BR/>I feel a film needs to get it's legs and find an audience before being considered for the <B>Walt Disney Classics Collection</B>.

It would be a sort of curve ball since it refers to "a Disney film combining live-action and animation that has never before been featured in the Walt Disney Classics Collection". That make you think it will be an older film but Enchanted hasn't been featured yet either.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288542052419180926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-47581092172311244912007-09-26T22:05:00.000-04:002007-09-26T22:05:00.000-04:00Hi Michael -- I too thought some great articles. ...Hi Michael -- I too thought some great articles.

Are you planning more live-action film sculptures?<BR/><BR/><B>A:</B> Plans are indeed in the works for more sculptures inspired by Disney live-action films. Though we cannot reveal any details about those live-action characters now, we can tell you that next year's release slate includes a character from a Disney film combining live-action and animation that has never before been featured in the Walt Disney Classics Collection. Watch for this magical character to arrive sometime in 2008.<BR/><BR/>When I first read the clue, not sure why, <B>Elliott</B> from <I>Pete's Dragon</I> popped into my head. He is from a film combining live action with animation but since <B>Elliott</B> is part of the <B>Main Street Electrical Parade</B>, not sure if that release would count as him never before featured??DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-958948075332633582007-09-26T21:46:00.000-04:002007-09-26T21:46:00.000-04:00Hi Kushal - What I found out so far is the followi...Hi Kushal - What I found out so far is the following:<BR/><BR/>"The WDCC annual catalog has not been sent to European Members yet, more information to follow."<BR/><BR/>Will keep you and other non-US collectors updated as more information becomes available.DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-73629791282819408292007-09-26T17:53:00.000-04:002007-09-26T17:53:00.000-04:00I have not received mine as of yet!

Love seeing all the titles on the inside back cover. <BR/><BR/>Big clue for 2008 is that one piece will be part live action and part animated. Very cool.<BR/><BR/>I would think the retirement on Monday might deal with one of the NBC pieces that have not been retired as of yet or the Lilo and Stitch Halloween scene.
