Description Song Of The South, Walt Disney UK PAL VIDEO A still sealed and unused authentic UK PAL issue of Song Of The South, Walt Disney Classics D201022 Box and video both authentic and licensed UK Walt Disney retail issue, with official holograms. Fully uncut and inludes the complete "Tar Baby" scene. A superb example. Video cassette is still factory sealed, never opened! Liner and box are also in very clean and barely used condition. There is no fraying to the paper liner and the case has not been knocked about.The paper inner liner has superb rich and vibant colours, and has clearly been stored away from direct light. This is where many original issue Song Of The South videos fall down on a perfect A grade, as so many are stored in conditions where sunlight bleaches the spine. All in all a real long-term Disney collectable investment. Playback throughout will obviously be without fault, but you may wish to keep this collectable item new and sealed! For what was originally intended and often used as a children's video, and deleted so long ago now, to find an extant and sealed UK release in this kind of condition is becoming ever harder by the day.  Note that photos are of the actual item for sale and not generic stock photos!  As of December 2001, Song of the South was withdrawn worldwide, and the supply of official UK PAL original issues will eventually dry up, so buy a copy while you can! The Movie: Starring Lucile Watson, Ruth Warrick, Hattie McDaniel. Directed by Harve Foster. The art of animation and live-action are blended brilliantly, for the first time ever on screen, by the talents of the Walt Disney team to create 'SONG OF THE SOUTH'. This wonderfully colourful spectacle is filled with fascinating characters, including the smart and witty 'Br'er' Rabbit, his bumbling sidekick 'Br'er' Bear and the cunning 'Br'er' Fox, introduced to the lonely young boy Johnny (Bobby Driscoll), by his new friend Uncle Remus (James Baskett). Featuring an Academy Award winning song - 'ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH', and an honorary Academy Award for actor James Baskett for "his able and heart-warming characterization of Uncle Remus, friend and story teller to the children of the world". Disney's 'SONG OF THE SOUTH' combines dazzling animated effects, endearing characters and memorable songs to have deservedly become a memorable and beloved family classic! Song Of The South - THE FACTS: Song Of The South has never been released in the USA on either video or DVD. It has been released on video in various European and Asian countries - in the UK it was released on PAL VHS tape, and in Japan it appeared on NTSC VHS, BETA and laserdisc with subtitles, while a rarer NTSC laserdisc was issued in Hong Kong without subtitles. While most foreign releases of the film are direct translations of the English title (Canción del Sur in Spanish, Mélodie du Sud in French, Melodie Van Het Zuiden in Dutch, and A Canção do Sul in Portuguese), the German title Onkel Remus' Wunderland translates to "Uncle Remus' Wonderland", and the Italian title I Racconti Dello Zio Tom translates to "The Stories of Uncle Tom." As of December 2001, Song of the South was withdrawn worldwide. Song Of The South - An Interesting Fact! Perhaps lost in all the controversy over the film is the fact that James Baskett, a black man, was the very first live actor ever hired by Disney. Allegedly, though, Baskett was unable to attend the film's premiere in Atlanta because no hotel would give him a room. This video is UK PAL format. American bidders should check their VCRs. The format for North America is NTSC. This is not as problematic as it was many years ago when the UK PAL format was virtually uncatered for and unrecognised in the USA. Many modern USA VCRs are now multi-format, but please check BEFORE you bid as I will expect you to honour your bid and refunds will NOT be given for incompatibility.
