Roy Disney Supports Song of the South’s Release

I recently contacted Roy Disney and Stanley Gold after learning of their decision to resign from Disney’s Board of Directors. In my letter I pledged my full support and also took the opportunity to ask Mr. Disney if there was any information he could provide on Song of the South’s status. He was kind enough to provide me with the following reply:

Dear Mr. Willis – thanks forr letter of support, and I am sorry to tell you that this is yet another reason to do our best to move Eisner out. He has been – far quite a few years now – totally against (I think AFRAID is a better word) of re-releasing Song of the South, which happens to be one of my favorite of the old Disney films. A number of us have tried, for some time, to change his mind, to no avail.

So that’s all I can tell you right now. It would be one of my first acts if I were to come back to the company!

Hope that helps, although I know it’s not the best of news…

Roy
