assistant: This question is often-asked and the sad answer is no. Disney has not
ever released Song of The South on video tape in America. The only way
people in America get it is to buy the Japanese laser disc. It has both

        Hej dear one! =) Long time no see....
        Right here, at the moment =). How have you been? Any news
concerning some letters? =>
        Yes I am! I feel fine! In fact, I feel now real happy again!!
        Yeah, GOT IT!!! =] Thank you *so* much! I LOVE that Shenzi
picture!! It's now next to Nala's!!!!
        YES!!!! I'm drawing you a picture too!!!! Did you hear any
news from Nala? Did she maybe phone you about us visiting? Did you get
my first letter?
        No, not yet - the only thing I saw about it here in german is
a postor on the wall at the threatre... it says 'coming soon', and
that's it =(. But I got *many*many*many* pics of it from you and Nala
too!!!! WOW!! => The pictures show me that the movie has a far better
style than Pocahontas!!! It looks like it's the same quality as the
Beauty and the beast, somehow. I'm sure I will still like Lion King
better after seeing Quasimodo... but that's only because Quasimodo is
a human, and the movie is about humans =). My favorites are ANIMALS
always... anyhow, Oh - I juuust caaan't WAIT to see it! =>
        Nooope... never saw it =(, never heard of it =(, never knew
there is a movie from Disney with a name like that. What is the movie
about? Animated or reallife?
        I really missed talking to you bad... now I can write on
Disney, again! Now I'm here again!!!! Where's Nala? Still not back on
the echo? Do you remember our echo story? Shall we try to continue it?
I still have it all here...
        Take care, many hugs!!

assistant: Welcome to H.B.L.K.'s Pride.....JENS KUEHLERS!!!
 Hiya Jens!
 Well, I'll try to take a stab at them (in no particular order):
 Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
 Fantasia
 Lady and The Tramp
 Cinderella
 Sleeping Beauty
 Dumbo
 Bambi
 The Jungle Book
 Robin Hood
(10) Peter Pan
 Winnie the Pooh (I can't remember which one tho)
 The Little Mermaid
 Aladdin
 Beauty and The Beast
 Pochohantas
 Toy Story (computer animated at that)
 The Nightmare Before Christmas
 James and The Giant Peach
 The Fox and The Hound
(20) The Aristocats
 Pinocchio
 Alice In Wonderland
 Hunchback of Notre Dame
 The Lion King
 Those are all animated, but if you include ones that are combined animation
 and live action, you can include:
 Mary Poppins
 Beadknobs and Broomsticks
 Song of the South
 Pete's Dragon
 And ones that were not animated, but entirely live action:
 The Parent Trap
 Unfortunatly, that's all I can think of (OK, so I had some help from the
 3 volumes of Classic Disney CDs I own).
 I believe "Meisterwerk" is what Disney calls "animated (?) full-length
 feature film".
 Unfortunately, they haven't shown an animated Disney movie yet on Public
 Television in the USA (I personally live in Canada); however, that is
 scheduled to change this Novmeber, because I have learned that during that
 month's "Sweeps Week" (a key week in television that networks try to get
 people to watch their television network) they will be showing "The Lion
 King".
 Sorry, can't help ya there; however, if you'd like, I have some Disney
 taglines if you're interested.  I'll include one at the end of this message.

        Was Batman 3 a Disney production? Well, Nala loves this movie,

bunch of action scenes with no story at all. Sorry if I talk so bad
about a movie you maybe like very much =~(... just like many movies of
that type it is practically saying: "Children... listen: Violence is
the only solution for your problems." Just like with many movies of
that type, $.$$$.$$$.$$$ were spent on nothing much...
      Nala: Robin's a nice guy! =]
      But the story is NOT creative. You know what will happen,
      always. Full of effects and cool camera movements, though.
