WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(ahem) October release, huh?
I noticed it doesn't include the alternate ending, where Belle purposely doesn't tell him she loves him till the rose's dead, so he doesn't turn into that butt-ugly prince. Sure, she'd have to shave their babies, but hey.
This does sound like one of the coolest DVDs ever, though. And about $#%! time, too. It's only been what, TEN YEARS?!!
(ahem)
Done now.
Want it!
