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.
