First, let me say that Wikipedia is by no means a reliable source for Song of the South rumors. The very nature of Wikipedia is that it can easily be revised by pretty much anyone. This leads to a lot of unfounded speculation, which amounts to no more than defacement in my opinion. However, in the interest of Song of the South rumors, I will post this. But, depending on how frequently Wikipedia rumors keep cropping up, I may become more selective as to which ones I report on, or I may stop posting on them altogether.
On May 9th, the following information was added to the Disney Special Editions page of Wikipedia by someone at the IP address 189.82.131.134:
| Title | Discs | UK Release Date | US Release Date | Notes |
| Song of the South: 60th Anniversary Edition | 2 | May 2010 | February 9, 2010 | DVD and Blu-ray Disc – First release on DVD and Blu-ray Disc |
There’s just one problem with this: Song of the South’s 60th anniversary was in 2006. This blatantly errant entry was removed two days later, on May 11th, by IP address 76.186.137.190.
Then, on May 23rd, the same IP (76.186.137.190) added Song of the South back on the list:
| Title | Discs | UK Release Date | US Release Date | Notes |
| Song of the South: Diamond Edition | 2 | March 2012 | March 13, 2012 | Platinum Edition (US) (DVD/Blu-ray Disc) First Digital Release |
Notice how the release date is now 2 years further away, but now is supposedly part of Disney’s new “Diamond Edition” series. This addition was removedonly 12 hours later by IP address 189.82.136.79.
So there you have it… basically what amounts to a cyber “tug of war” for Song of the South. One thing’s for certain: it hasn’t been released yet, and until it does Disney will just continue to lose money to the bootleggers out there.
