Hi everyone it's Xebs! Now, there has been a lot and I mean a lot of rumours saying that "The Little Mermaid in 3D" won't be coming to Cinemas worldwide in September, due to the low box office hits of "Beauty and the Beast", "Finding Nemo" and "Monsters INC.". I personally think that the rumours are "not true" I found no evidence that shows that Disney has cancelled the most beloved Disney classic of all time. Why do I think it's A LIE!
Think about it… all the publishers from DisneyDreaming.com and other pages say that they "reportedly" heard the news from some unknown sources. There are other publishers that say that the Walt Disney Studios has cancelled the movie due to the Low-box Office, but there is no trace of Disney quoting on this matter. What even made it more confusing is that the DVD release of "Wreck-It-Ralph" has a trailer and a small pamphlet which contains a pamphlet of whats coming out soon…
...and behold an advertisement for the "The Little Mermaid 3D", but people would say that it's a mistake and that it was meant for the Blu-Ray 3D addition of the movie. Personally I think that someone out there has just made up a very good excuse on why "it should get cancelled" and by "chinese whispers" the message has gone and grown all around the web. But, the biggest question is how would it do at the Box-Office, if it was re-released, my thoughts are… for the last Disney movie to be re-release their are good reasons on why it would do well. "The Little Mermaid" was recognised as the new chapter for Disney Animation, its ever popular rides and franchises at the Walt Disney theme parks. Also the new up coming movie "Frozen" is a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, based off the Snow Queen, it would be a great tribute for the man who created "The Little Mermaid" to have a release on the same year as "Frozen".
And last but not least, I've even contacted the official Disney Australia & New Zealand Facebook page and they quote:

Hi. In regards to this post, The Little Mermaid is definitely coming to the cinema in 2013. Disney Australia & New Zealand confirmed it on their Facebook page:
"We can give you an update on The Little Mermaid theatrical for sure. Sorry about the conflicting info. The Little Mermaid will DEFINITELY return to theatres in Australia & New Zealand this year. We are running a special limited edition screening of The Little Mermaid in select cinemas on the last weekend of August, Saturday August 31st and Sunday September 1st. We will share with you more information about the screening as we get closer to August."
I personally hope it's more than just that weekend, but it's coming for sure!
Regards.
I could be wrong but I have friends from Austrailia who recently reported it's been canned there as well.
Either way, a 3D Blu-Ray release is happening. Still what I would do to see this on the big screen for the first time :( I personally think Disney fatigued people's pocket money by releasing THREE 3D re-releases in one year. And no offense to Pixar but Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. were random picks. More so for Nemo because Monsters Inc. sort of has a good excuse to, seeing how Monsters University releases the following year. What's even more odd is that release date was set for January 2013 then dragged back to December 2012 ...
I've seen all Disney 3D re-releases so far and have no regret with them, but I can definitely understand why not everyone will be willing to fork over their money.
Real shame, this was my way of getting to see my favorite movies on the big screen the first time, let alone the fantastic 3D.
Hi Josh, I don't know if you read my other The Little Mermaid Post, because Office Disney Australian and New Zealand Facebook page has confirmed that the movie will be release to the big screen in Australia and (possibly) New Zealand in August 2013, but not in 3D, only for a very limited time.
But one Australian cinema has said that the movie will be in 3D, which I find very, very weird... and said on its website that the 3D movie will only be out for three days? ("before the sunsets on the third day" - Ursula) very, very unlikely.
but, heres the link if you would like to read the post: http://kingdomheartsplease.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/disneys-little-mermaid-will-be-coming.html
