Why Does Disney DO what they do?, 23 January 2006
10/10
Author: bkn6006-1 from United States

This movie should have much exposure than it did. I can't really add much more to the existing comments.

It's a marvelous family movie, and especially heartwarming for any boy who has any musical talent - singing or playing - to watch.

Why Disney hasn't put this and some of their other timeless classics onto restored DVD's, I have no idea. I'd be waiting in line to buy this one if it were available.

So if any of you greedy format-inventing Disney dorks are reading, get some of the old stuff out and remaster it. You'll be even richer than you already are!
