AtariGeezer Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Cool, I have an original film of this that was shown in the movie houses in the south from the 30's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Cool, I have an original film of this that was shown in the movie houses in the south from the 30's... Must be insanely rare considering the movie was released in 1946. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) The Japan only release Laser Disc is rare, Disney will never release the film on DVD or BlueRay because of the stereotype of people; a past wrong common of another era. Not outright derogatory, but I can see where the movie can be viewed as offensive. Still, an older movie worth owning for the history. I scored a DVD copy from an independent video store that archived it from the Laser disc. A decent transfer considering it had to be converted from analog to digital.

7800fan Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Company complains they are losing money to piracy. I would like to challenge Disney to prove they are losing money to illegal DVD copies of Song of the South. (not supporting piracy, just pointing out sometimes the big company is all hot wind about illegal activities and claim DRM stuff is the only solution when it's only band-aid fix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Interesting that the title is actually in Kanji. Foreign products in Japan are rarely written in anything but katakana. The Kanji translates to song of the South for anyone interested enough to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Erm, no it isn't. The VHS was officially released in the UK, but there's never been an official DVD release of the film, ever. Bits of the film can be found on other Disney DVDs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towmater Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 You're right, i may be mis-remembering a VHS release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
