Disney doesn't seem to have that great a track record with Bunnies!!!

I think at this point if a group started campaigning for "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs" to be renamed "Young Lady of Indiscriminate Colour and the Seven Vertically Challenged Persons", Disney might seriously consider pulling it off the shelves. They're just worried about stirring up controversy, but I think they've just created a bigger deal about it by not making it available. (That said, I really like that merchandise!)

My friends and I didn't find the film offensive, although one of them mentioned how it shows happy slaves. I told him that it was supposed to take place AFTER the Civil War.

If you were making multiple copies, the Disney police would probably go after you.
Originally Posted By boyumz I think its a copyright violation if you sell them for profit. But if you give them away, I think it may be different. Any copyright attorneys here??

Release the film.

When I rode Splash for the first time in either '91 or '92, I was a young teen, I always thought it would have been appropriate if they had an AA of Uncle Remus in the waiting queue or that first mill where the owl is. Little did I know what sparks that would cause.
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Yeah, that was when I cared more about other people's opinions about everything about myself. Now? Not so much. You want SOTS, you can get it.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I would hope so, and I'll definitely buy it if we see it. It's not that hard to put 13 episodes on a disc.
Originally Posted By LVCajun <Ebay has dvd's avail..How? I dunno, but they are there..> The last time a checked you had to be careful about the zoning. Most of what I saw wouldn't play in US DVD players. Besides that and most of them bootlegs. I have my copy that a friend copied from his lazer disc to DVD. Probably not legal, but the best I can do until it gets released...if ever.
