It not like thy're ever gonna remove the Classic stuff. I can't see them having Hidden Stitch silhouettes instead of MM. But even kids (like mine) raised on Snow White, Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty are still going to be exposed more to recent productions. If Disney didnt feel there was a market for HSM and HM merchandise, then there wouldn't be any. Suplly and Demand. As for Disney Fairies, if it doesnt prove popular or sell a lot of luchboxes, pretty soon you won't hear tell of it again.Personally, I dont mind. I love watching my kids sing along and acting out ALL the scenes from HMS cause it makes them happy ( or my son to any film with a sword ). And at the end of the day, that's the most important thing.

QuoteYeah it's like what I touched on sayin that it does make other people happy.I just wish that there would be more merch dedicated to the classics, cause sometimes there is more of the new stuff than the old, I'd like a compromise.I know what you mean. But look at he Disney Sotes as an example. When a new film comes out, they go crazy trying to push all the lastest cup,dress-ups, toys, beach towels, branded pencils etc. and everything else gets pushed to the sidelines. I dont remember anyone complaining that they couldnt find a Snow White pencil case because everything had Wall-E on it.
Probably just laziness on the part of the Marketing department. Although afterall,its a bit hard to push something like Snow White to a mass audience, seeing as how its over 70 years old. Can't really brand it as new and exciting in today's market place. ( which is a shame really)

( which is a shame really)Perhaps it's the fact that Snow White is BEYOND advertising. She does not need to be advertised anymore.

The same thing could be said for Coca-Cola, but it doesnt stop them advertising
The Classics may just need to survive in Special Editions and the Advertisements and trailers for them on the DVD and before the release... and we just hope the WDI don't forget them too and rekindle the Classic Spirit of Disney and Hopefully John Lasseter can do it for Walt Disney Animation too

The classics are re released in a timely manner, every 7 to 10 years, for a purpose....So they can be resold or "discovered" by a new generation.Its funny to read that several people made comment about Beauty & the Beast or The Little Mermaid as being classics. They are, but they are also not old!
