But also-
It ticks me off they tell us the LAST MINUTE that it won’t be released
Why couldn’t they tell us earlier???
Wow! That's a lot of speculation!
It's actually much simpler than that.
The decision was only made a few days ago, and was a hard decision to make. We were all set to release the set with it on there. I would have said something much earlier if there had been an earlier decision. We're losing everything we had invested in the film with the decision as well, so there is a financial loss. (adding: I *wish* we sold thousands of anything! There's around 240 orders- the most we've had for a special set (usually it's just 80 to 100 or so). We have no idea how many will be refunded yet, but the refund offer stands, and we'll be waiting a week now before shipping).
I really do enjoy releasing rare films- and it's great when something that people wanted to see is released. In most cases, that isn't so complicated, but with this particular film, it is. It was my decision, not made for me in any way, but it was the decision we needed to make. Wish I could say more to stop any speculation- this is literally the most I can say without without revealing the reasons. I know there is disappointment and anger because of this. I'm sorry for that. I can say the decision was not directly related to the Wiki community or anything posted here. It's also not related to anything involving the Disney company directly. It will need to remain a mystery who purchased the film (it wasn't me), what other copies are out there (I owned a copy in the 80s) and if I knew who bought it on Ebay I wouldn't state it since it's private information.
Now-- please don't write and ask if I will just slip you a copy of it to you (I'm getting emails like that right now).
And while I was really looking forward to its release, I respect your decision to pull it after having all this cleared up. If the decision is ever made to get it out there in some way, I'll definitely be supporting a new release from you guys.
