Fun Facts

- Most of the outdoor live action scenes were filmed in Phoenix, Arizona.

Happy 58th Anniversary Song Of The South!
I feel so sad because I haven't seen this film yet.
The big question is when will "Song of the South" going to be out on DVD.
I know that I'm not the only one who hasn't seen this film yet.
Millions haven't watch this film and I want to see it already.
Note to Disney take it out now!!!

Hmmm...
2006 will bring:
-Einster's retirement
-SOTS's 60th anniversary
-the possible 2-Disc Special Edition we've been salivating for since 1997
Anyone notice a pattern?
