I have and seen  a few of the Disney DVD classics,, and when I first came across Disney "Fast Play"
a few years back ( maybe Lady and the Tramp? ).., If you hit the button Fast Play it would play all  the 'ads and coming soon shorts' ..,
You had to use Main Menu to get to the main menu of  Play / Scene Selection etc ..

So today we bring home Mulan II  and, when instructed about Fast Play,  I hit the Main Menu button
(as I have done before ) and it goes to the Trailers.. !! But When I Hit Fast Play it now goes to the Main Menu and there besides 'Play' is the "Fast Play" icon..   

Glad to See that Disney finally got the term 'Fast Play'  figured out ..

In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Popped in Enchanted today.. ( great film BTW).,, and the Fast Play / Main Menu  is 'backwards' again..
Fast Play takes you thru all the ads and promotional materials etc.., and Main Menu takes you to the Menu of choices including the ads and coming soon materials..   

Like what is Fast Play again.. ?  I'm  confused    Fast Play should take you to the movie itself (defaulted to 5.1 DD..,,)  ..  If you need DTS or Spanish 5.1  then you would want main menu options,  which is..,  in this case... Fast Play  ..

Here is Disney's FAQ on fast play - http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/fastplay/faq.html

From what I understand Fast Play doesn't take you directly to the movie, but trailers/previews, movie, and then certain bonus features.

Good thread..,  I'm at least happy that with this fastplay feature I'm not held hostage in my own liiving room ,forced to watch 5 minutes of 'ads'  and the remote control will not allow you to advance or skip thru them,  as some Universal /MCA and other studios encode on their DVD's .
