There is an active underground on this laserdisc.  The actual story is that 
when the disc was released in Japan, Japanese Victor (JVC) did the mastering 
without authorization of Disney of America.  When Disney of America 
discovered the disk was playable on multi-standard laserdisc players here 
domestically, they ordered production shut down, and what remained of store 
inventory stocks returned.  The actual window of time the disc was freely 
available was about 3 weeks.  Enough copies made it to import that there are 
still some copies around, but they are expensive and are getting more rare 
every day.
