Well, this is really good news! This has alleviated another serious worry of mine that Chomper and Ruby would not end up with speaking roles! So far, everything I've worried about the new sequel hasn't happened: no CGI animation, having great familiar and great new voice actors in place, having Chomper and Ruby back, and now having them confirmed to speak! Really great to have Miriam Flynn back here too, and pleasantly surprised to see Meghan Strange come back too. All I can say is that so far I have seen very little discouraging news (only that we haven't seen Shorty yet) and I'm very happy to say my expectations just keep getting raised with all of this good news coming out

Also of note, Easter is relatively early this year, at March 27. Since Universal releases its movies mostly on Tuesdays, this would suggest a release date of March 22 if we're looking at a release right before Easter. Also keep in mind however, that some of the Universal family D2V movies were released two weeks or so online before the DVD release date, so who knows, we may be looking at even earlier than that.
