Chinese Disney movies?

May 03, 2010, 04:46 AM posted in General DiscussionHello. The groups and conversations on here confuse me a lot, so I'm not sure where to post this:
Does anyone know where I can purchase Chinese movies? I can't follow even a short Chinese conversation yet, let alone a whole movie, but I'd like to get used to the pronunciation and watch Disney movies like "The little mermaid", "Beauty and the beast", "Snow white" and "Finding Nemo" in Chinese. I could find two of them on amazon.com Marketplace but I can order them because I'm from Germany. I would try to purchase them from amazon.cn but I don't understand a word there yet and there's no Chinese version of the website - and I don't know if they ship to Germany.
Any suggestions? :)
Thank you

Try sensasian http://sensasian.com/catalog.php/movies/1-1/ or Yes Asia http://www.yesasia.com/global/en/chinese-movies-videos.html .
You will find these two much cheaper than getting them from USA. Be careful to check you get the correct region, or all regions, and Mandarin rather than Cantonese, unless you want Cantonese. I haven't seen many with German susbtitles, but many do have English subtitles. So if you want subtitles check for that. Each company usually offers several versions of popular movies. I have purchased from both of these companies.
You can also watch someonline via fansubs sites. Here are some -
http://doremiiscale.blogspot.com/ - and follow the links - this site fansubs TV series. Also: http://www.dramacrazy.net/drama-index/ - this site has both movies and TV series you can watch online, or download if you know how to.

谢谢。 I already tried both sensation.com and yesasia.com, but I suppose I should have searched for the movies directly instead of searching for "Disney". -.-
It shouldn't be a problem to play the DVDs on my DVD player; I bought a multi-region DVD player when I had trouble playing a US DVD on my old player.
I don't really need German subtitles, I prefer English anyway. :) I just wish that DVDs from Honk Kong or Taiwan would also offer Simplified Chinese subtitles.
Anyway, thanks a lot. I'll purchase from yesasia as I had better search results there. They even offer free international shipping. =)
I couldn't find "Beauty and the beast" on any of the websites you mentioned. Do you (or anyone else) know another website I could try?

Sorry, I meant to say: I can not order them.
