All I could find was this page: http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/anima ... rince.html

It has Prince & Pauper as well as Sleepy Hollow on it as well as some others. It doesn't say anything about a DVD release, though. And of course, you can buy Ichabod & Mr. Toad on DVD.

A DisneyDvd.com only turned up a VHS release of each of these, both of which are now OOP. You can, of course, request a VHS/DVD release of them there. Hope that helps some.

they were released as VHS's in the mid '90's and most of them are now on DVD's.
The 3 little pigs are available on the silly symphones DVD

Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Wind in the Willows are availble in their complete on The adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

Mickey and the Beanstalk is 1/2 of FUn and Fancy Free with Bongo
On the VHS it is narrated by Ludwig von Drake, while in the movie it is narrated by Edger Bergen and Charlie McArchy

Mickey's Chrsitmas Carol will be part of Mickey in Living Color part II

and the rest are either part of Melody Time or Make Mine Music

Does anybody own Disney's "American Legends"? I bought it for the new John Henry short, but it also contains Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, and the Brave Engineer. The package was released as a way to put out the John Henry segmant, but could have been a test to see if American's care for this kind of a DVD. Since they are all DVD's with classic shorts packaged together, maybe poor sales of "American Legends" is to atribute for no Disney "Fables" DVD's in the U.S. Does anyone know if Disney even makes it anymore? I doubt theyd waste shelf space by keeping it out of moritorium.
