Does anyone know if _Lady and the Tramp_ is available on video anywhere or if it will ever be released again? This is my favorite of the older Disney films, and while I do have a copy of the movie (that someone taped for me), it is a very bad copy (sound is off--can barely hear the dialogue, even if you turn the volume up full-blast). I would love to have this video. Thanks, Carin ... "Jeez, where'd ya dig *this* bozo up?" - Iago ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20 [NR] --- GEcho 1.20/Pro * Origin: Renegade's Hideout!

My SA>FF> favourite movie is "The Goofy Movie". SA> I taped it recently on The Disney Channel a few weeks ago. It was SA> very good. I'm pleased that Goofy's role in the pix was reasonable SA> than just his being only stupid and clumsy. I quite agree. TGM is clearly the Goof's first chance to show off his acting ability, and he made good use of it. One generally doesn't expect releases from the TV Animation division to be of much artistic worth, but I think this film ranks above some of the lesser releases from the Feature Animation division. ("Robin Hood", to cite just one pathetic entry.) Goofy has done yoeman work over the year in shorts. Always before he has played either the victim of the script's foolishness or as second fiddle to Mickey. I'm glad he finally got his chance in the spotlight. Question: What Disney character would _you_ like to see get their own chance at a starring role in a feature-length film? What would the story be about?

In order for this to be a contemporary account, I will need to have temporary access to a local BBS that I can access with my laptop computer. If any of you from the area think they can convince their sysop to grant me two-week's complimentary access for this purpose, I would be most appreciative. (Let me assure you that the fact that I would also be able to read my Disney e-mail is purely a delightful side-effect.) Dec. 29 to Jan. 10 should be sufficient. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll just have to hold the reports until I return and dole them out one per day. It won't be "live"--more like tape delay (or is that disk delay?)--but it will let me share all the new and special attractions. Please let me know if and how this could be made to work. In addition to echomail, I can also be reached via the Internet at bmetcalf@moccasun.utc.edu. Thanks for the assist!

If you think it's a "departure" rather than a "revisitation", you need to go see "Toot, Plunk, Whistle and Boom" again! 8B-) ()_() (_) Bruce (the elder) Metcalf --- OLX 2.1 TD "Ward, I'm worried about the Beaver." --- GEcho 1.20/Pro * Origin: Freestyle .

What else COULD I say? THANKS, Walt! What would I do? I would walk around the aprks with him, seeing what he might have to say about everything he saw, how it was built, what he intended, amsuing anecdotes and what he thinks of the newer things that he DIDN'T have a part in. I would LOVE to ride Splash Mountain at DL with him, visit Phantom Manor (at Paris DL) with him, visit Tokyo DL with him and see what he thinks. If he still had time to hang out with me, I'd ask him to sit down and view a few movies with me - some from when he was alive and some that have been made since then.
