I own an original cel from Robin Hood (from The Phony King of England sequence)
I own a DL guidebook from 1967 and a WDW guidebook from 1972.
I own copies of Disney News from the late 60s and early 70s.

I own DL and WDW Viewmaster slides from the 70s which I ADORE!

I own every issue of Walt Disney Comics Digest.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh, I have Ilene Woods' autograph on a 50th Anniversary commemorative cel of Cinderella. She was at the Disney Store in Manhattan in 2000.

I have the Japanese import LD of Song of the South.

I've got this on VHS:

It is very, very hard to find. This is the old white clamshell VHS cover. Disney did not produce it, just distributed it. One of the best animated movies out there. The humor is very similar to Shrek. I was hoping the English dubbed version (which this is) would make it's way onto DVD, but so far it hasn't. However, I think the French version is out.

I also have the sequel/prequel The Ballad of the Daltons which also was released by Buena Vista:

In the old version, you can distinctly hear each voice in the chorus and there's a very warm and soothing quality to their voices. The new version just sounded...very echoey and cluttered. Though perhaps that has more to do with it being on YouTube? Or is it really that bad?

Albert, unfortunately it's really that bad. Actually even worse on the real dvd. And you can't even hear the horrible acting and choices of words.
It doesn't even come close to the quality of the original dub.

I agree with what you say about the gift songs.
And I think Maleficent is perfect too. The whole casting is perfect actually.
It's really hard for me to understand why Disney America prefers low quality that doesn't have anything to do with the original American version, over great quality and a version that comes very close to the original version.
