Disney Princess Film Festival Returns!

I previously posted about The Little Mermaid coming to cinemas mid-late last year, but it's coming back, for one weekend only!

The lineup is:
- Beauty and the Beast (15th/16th Feb)
- Sleeping Beauty (22nd/23rd Feb)
- Brave (1st/2nd March)
- The Little Mermaid (8th/9th March)
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (15th/16th March)

This festival is Australia specific, so I'm not sure about the U.S., though a brief Google search yielded nothing. As for me, I hope to go to them all! The first movie I remember seeing at the movies was Snow White, and we all know how I feel about TLM. I get a smug little thrill every time I see one of my cels flash past on the cinema screen. A little egotistical I know, but I make no bones about it.

I wish TLM were in 3D; I still haven't gotten around to getting a copy in 3D, or locating a suitable TV/3D BluRay setup. I'm sure at least a cinema-quality copy exists, despite the relaunch being canned.

This picture, taken by a friend who was in California in September 2013, clearly shows The Little Mermaid in 3D being screened at that point in time at the El Capitan Theatre:

Hey, if its only one weekend anyway, why not?
