Have you seen So Dear To My Heart? If not it is a must watch! :D
I find that So Dear is better than Song most times anyway.
Bobby Discoll is one of my favorite Disney child actors. It is such a pity he died at 31. He was almost paired with Luana Patten in every single movie he did, I shudder to think what Luana would have been like as Wendy.

His end life was very sad. Not even his parents knew that he was dead until months and years later.

Even back in the old days, there were the celebrities who hit rock bottom.

This. If you are going to get any DMR/DMC exclusive, most would agree this is the one to get as this is (correct me if I'm wrong) the only DMR/DMC exclusive to have been given a restoration and has a pretty nice transfer. It was restored for a Gold Collection release that never happened. I wouldn't spend $28.95 for a second-hand release for something that hasn't been given a general DVD release. That's a bit too risky for me but that's up to you. It only goes for 550 reward points on DMR but it currently says it's out of stock so you may have to wait a bit.

In the spirit of bringing this thread back to life, what mid-late50s/early 60s Disney films would have you liked to see him in?
