 TS> Could you please post the prices to the Disney movie again? THANKS!!
Hi Tom -
I think our moderator does not like these kinds of lists being posted, but 
since you and others have asked, I will post this one last time.  I do not 
wish to get the moderator upset at me.
Here is my original message:
=== Cut ===
I have finally compiled a list here, of the Disney animated films I have
available.  I see a fair number of messages here of folks looking for 
riginal
animated movies that they "missed" because they either started collecting too
late, or because they just missed the window when the movie was out.  
onsider
this as a reply to these many messages.  So here is what I have, in order of
movie year of release.
    Snow White*            sealed, 10 copies                   $ 35.00
    Fantasia               sealed,  2 copies                   $150.00
    Pinochio               sealed,  5 copies                   $ 80.00
    Bambi                  sealed,  3 copies                   $200.00
    Cinderella*            sealed, 10 copies                   $ 20.00
    Peter Pan              sealed,  2 copies                   $150.00
    Lady & The Tramp       sealed,  1 copy                     $200.00
    Alice In Wonderland*   sealed,  5 copies                   $ 20.00
    101 Dalmations         sealed,  2 copies; open, 2 copies   $ 75.00
    Sword In the Stone     sealed, 10 copies                   $ 20.00
    Jungle Book            sealed,  4 copies; open, 1 copy     $ 90.00
    Robin Hood*            sealed,  5 copies                   $ 20.00
    The Rescuers           sealed,  5 copies                   $ 30.00
    Fox & The Hound        sealed, 10 copies                   $ 40.00
    Great Mouse Detective  sealed,  2 copies; open, 3 copies   $ 65.00
    Rescuers Down Under*   sealed,  5 copies                   $ 30.00
    The Little Mermaid     sealed,  1 copy                     $250.00
    Beauty & The Beast     sealed,  4 copies                   $ 60.00
    Aladdin*               sealed,  5 copies                   $ 30.00
* = you should still be able to find these at well stocked department,
discount, or video stores, but some are getting harder to find.
Copies of movies like Lion King, Aristocats, Pocahontas, etc, I did not 
include as those are still everywhere.  Costs above are based on current 
collector value for the titles listed.
I do not intend this message to be specifically a "forsale" type message, as
such is discouraged by the echopol for this echo.  I intend this to be more 
f
a general reply message for those folks, and there have been many, that ask 
for sources for these movies, or ask if they're available anywhere, or even 
f
they've ever come out.  I hope this will answer a whole slew of inqiries all 
at once.
Well, if anyone is interested, or just finds the list interesting itself, let
me know!

One note:  Between the time I posted this originally in July, and now, Snow 
White has almost completely disappeared.  Disney "recalled" most copies not 
yet sold.  For example, no Wal-Mart in America has Snow White anymore - all 
stores shipped any remaining unsold copies back to their corporate HQ and 
from there they went back to Image, Disney's primary distributor.  The same 
has occured with Target stores, K-marts, Price Club, Costco, etc.  There may 
be a few isolated stores that didn't send back their stock in response to the 
request, but there won't be many.  I do not know if official "Disney Stores" 
still have any or not.  Most stores sent back their stock because they 
receive FULL CREDIT for any copies returned, and most stores would rather 
have that credit right now, than leave unsold copies of the video on their 
shelves.  The Snow White recall occured about a month ago, so it's already 
hard to find. Already, the magazine TV COLLECTOR has listed price jumps for 
unopened Snow Whites.  Just so you know....
