Do you sell copies after printing or is it a pre-order limited release only? Would love to get my hands on a copy, just been money-tight recently ;v;
usually it's a pre-order, then after a while they often put it up for order at the site again later.
weirdly enough, i don't see ANY of the special discs listed anymore, they used to have a link with like 60ish different sets for order, but it's all gone? huh?
so yeah, right now, it doesn't seem like you can buy this disc anymore.

Thank you for this info! I'll keep an eye out for resold copies and on the website itself to see if they do a restock ;v;
They list the special discs for sale a few times a year. One of the times you can count on the discs being listed is around black Friday. They normally have a coupon code during the black Friday sale you can use for 10% or 20% off the total order.

I just want to mention this, as idiots keep saying this over and over.
Thunderbean won't get sued over Uncle Walt!
The short has no copyright over it, otherwise they wouldn't include it in a set called "Public Domain Mouse Adventures!" Second, Uncle Walt is a parody, Disney can't do shit legally. Also, this short is 60 years old, if they had an issues with it, they would have done it already. The short is in the Academy Archive.

You mean the person who left a comment on the wiki page? Really Yoshi, you should spend less time focusing on these concerns and instead dedicate that time to look for Japanese TV shows.

Is there a reason why you mention "Japanese TV shows" specifically?

Nah, it's not just that comment, I've seen idiots elsewhere saying that. Although, that comment is what pushed me to make that post.

no need for it here. Nobody here is claiming anything. Chill out and it's also contributing to the spam off topic
I got a couple comments on a tweet I made literally promoting the product, about how it is disrespecting Thunderbean by somehow advocating for it to be ripped.
What's funny about that is nobody has ever said oh let's just buy one copy and tell people to not support the release. Everyone still wants their own copy to have the physical media and surely Thunderbean must know someone, no matter who they are or what community they're in, is going to rip this once they get it.
If we really wanted to be assholes, we could have dumped a lot of money into that film reel that sold on eBay recently and stolen all the credit by releasing it before the DVD ships. But obviously we didn't because we're not malicious like that.
I know this is just a minor issue but I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm sure once the short gets out, there will be more and more people looking to cause trouble for the sake of causing trouble.
And I for one am so tired, so very tired, of people throwing me or this community under the bus for issues literally out of our control.
If we aren't the ones who rip it, then there is a guarantee that someone else does and we have no say in that. But even if someone here does end up doing it, Thunderbean still make all the sales from the people who want the physical media. Very few people, if anyone at all, is going to cancel their order once the short is already online.
Completely ridiculous how people just like being mad for no reason.

To the film community, Thunderbean customers and fans of animation and lost media:
Over the past 20 years, Thunderbean has been releasing Blu-rays and DVDs of classic animation, with particular attention to lost or extremely rare films. It’s been both a professional and personal joy for me to be able to have a part in helping animation history be visible and films available in good quality. The support of the animation fan community has kept this tiny company alive over these years. We’re very grateful for all the support, both financially and with all the great feedback we’ve had on what we do.
Thunderbean releases “Official” sets of restored films and cartoons, and “Special sets”. The special sets are limited releases for the fan base that often consist of raw scans from rare film prints, sometimes cleaned up, often not. The special sets are always extremely limited runs- and on occasion we’ll offer the older ones again.
In these two decades, we’ve been fortunate to scan, restore and release many ‘holy grails’ that were long-sought after; some were genuinely lost, others just not accessible for viewing. In this time, there has never been a film we’ve managed to gain access to that we haven’t eventually released. That, however, has now changed.
For the special set “Public Domain Mouse Adventures”, we planned to release “Uncle Walt” as part of the set. Because of several factors related to the film, we have made the decision to not release “Uncle Walt” as part of this set. We’ll still be releasing the set without this one short film.
We understand the disappointment of the film and animation fan base, especially the lost media wiki people. It’s one film among many that may or may not be unearthed to the larger public at some point.
Since we understand that many people have purchased this set just for that one film, we’re offering refunds for the set. We’ll be sending an email shortly to everyone that purchased this set with a form to request a refund if you would like one.
We’ll continue our mission moving forward, restoring films for Blu-ray and streaming. We believe access is everything— it allows old films to stay alive. We know the community really wanted to see this film, but hope springs eternal.
