Roy Disney and Stanley Gold’s SaveDisney.com features three articles today about Walt Disney’s Song of the South. “Speaking of corporate suppression of art, Mr. Eisner:”
- “Song of the South Fans Want Disney to Release its Ode to ‘Uncle Remus'” links to the archived article that Donald Liebensen of the L.A. Times wrote on May 7, 2003 entitled “Should dated films see the light of today?”
- “Song of the South Adjusted Box Office Gross: $288.6m” points to boxofficereport.com‘s calculations that, when taking into account ticket price inflation for re-releases, Song of the South‘s adjusted box office gross weighs in at $288.6 million, making it the highest-grossing film that has never been released on home video in North America.
- “Sign Song of the South Petition” urges everyone to join the 59,000 others who have added their names so far to James McKimson’s petition over atUncleRemusPages.com.
I hope that you all will also show your full support for Roy Disney and Stanley Gold by visiting their site SaveDisney.com and finding out how you can help restore Disney to its former glory. As reported on 2/14/04, Roy Disney fully supports the release of Song of the South, and said that releasing the movie would be one of his first acts if he were to return to the company. Thank you!
