    Ghost of Cypress Swamp - Starring Vic Morrow & Jeff East. Directed by Vincent McEveety. (This has been available on vhs in Australia in the early '90s). 1977

    Secret Of Lost Valley - Brad Savage, Mary Ann Mobley. Directed by Vic Morrow. 1980

    Guns in the Heather (Also known as Secret of Boyne Castle) - Stars Kurt Russell, Glenn Corbett. Directed by Robert Butler. 1969.

    Mystery in Dracula's Castle - Stars Johnny Witaker, John Fielder. 1973

    Mooncussers - Stars Kevin Corcoran. Directed by James Neilson. 1964.

    Treasure of San Bosco Reef - Roger Mobley, James Day. Directed by Robert L. Friend. 1968.

    Wacky Zoo of Morgan City - Hal Holbrook. 1970.

    Also, the feature film 'Run, Cougar, Run' has never had a video release.

    With no Vault Disney on cable anymore, Disney is neglecting a large portions of its' audience. It could make it up them by releasing more older titles on dvd.

    Just a note to say 'African Lion' has been available on video in the States. I purchased a copy in '96 from a Suncoast store. And I have seen the occasional copy floating around on ebay.

    You forgot that she also voiced Charlie Brown's nemesis (Linus' sister), Lucy Van Pelt.


    You can mark me down as wanting some of their old 'World of Disney' tv movies too. Specifically the "Whiz Kid" films (I think there were at least 2) with Eric Shea.

I never see it mentioned in any of the books about Disney films or anywhere else and I think that is a real shame!

    Fact is A Bug's Life makes money for them, Millonaire doesn't. As for what I want: Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
