America LOVES Celtic tales. My daughter said that they should do a celtic based movie, animated or live action and that the majority of viewers would eat it up.... look at Harry Potter ond Lord of the Rings.....the magic of the celtic tales would be hot. I also wish that the TRUE LIFE ADVENTURES would be released on DVD in wide screen... as a set perhaps?? They would sell well, but they HAVE TO BE ADVERTISED!!! Disney has been failing in that, as they did with the release of the Disneyland set and Davy Crockett DVDS.... and while we are on DL.... how about adding in some additional Disneyland shows, like the 25th anniv show and any other DL specials that have not been released yet. The smartest thing Disney could do would be to have someone of importance monitor this site... and take what is said here to heart....and the Board of Directors!! Lastly... it is time to release SONG OF THE SOUTH ON DVD (wide screen, of course!) with additional info as to the social relevence of the film to disarm any possible back-lash! Heck! Uncle Remus is not to be shunned or hidden away! He was a HERO of mine.....and I am an old WHITE lady! He was wise, and had both heart and integrety (mis-spelled, sorry) which young people NEED in a role model...and he was one of mine!

Anyway, I think that's the one I'd personally like to see the most. Give recent films the same treatment given to the early ones in The Disney Films. And the re-releases to theater. I didn't grow up watching Disney films so I haven't seen too many on the big screen. Just the re-releases of Oliver and Co. and a screening of Sleeping Beauty at the El Capitan. I didn't even see Beauty and the Beast on big screen until IMAX. I would love to see more of the classics, especially Snow White and Pinocchio. Doobie.
