Is anybody else unreasonably annoyed that they got rid of the love song to shorten the film. I loved it as a child, its my favourite Christmas film. And the song "the love has gone" is now edited out!

Nah, it’s a meh song among a collection of absolute bangers. Film is better without.

I said what I said.

Agreed

As a pp said you can watch it on disney +

I'm definitely choosing that version

Flibberdigibbit · 06/12/2024 18:45

Oh my goodness, I thought I'd imagined that song and I'm so glad I know what happened to it!

nope, it was an awful song, boring, too long, an absolute dirge, i'm glad its been cut out.

It's more complicated than that. One of the producers thought that it would bore children, and so wanted it cut when it was released in cinemas. They put it back in for the VHS release, where it proved to be popular. But when it was released on DVD, they used the theatrical edit, and have so far refused to reinstate it for some reason.

It makes no sense, because the song at the end "When Love Is Found" now doesn't hold as much weight.

The love has gone was always cut out however it’s now available on Disney as the extended version

The Love Has Gone has gone?!

If there was a prize for being mean, the winner would be... whoever cut that down.
