Okay, So Where Is It?
So Dear to My Heart (1949)

It was supposed to be out this year sometime and now it's on the back burner.

Ultimate Disney, a great site, keeps up with what Disney stuff is being released now and scheduled to be released.

My Wish List (revised--hey, you didn't think I'd stop wanting after Thomasina and Dr. Syn, did you?):
  • Johnny Tremain
  • In Search of the Castaways (widescreen)
  • Summer Magic (ditto)
  • Moon-Spinners (a good, widescreen version; the one out now is very badly done)
  • That Darn Cat! (the original)
  • The Horse Without a Head
  • High-Flying Spy
  • Boomerang, Dog of Many Talents
  • Emil and the Detectives

    Plus things from the television series:

    A set called, perhaps, "Disney's Dog Tales"
  • "Little Shepherd Dog of Catalina"
  • "Legend of the Two Gypsy Dogs" ("They were two, they were two, and their friendship was strong, and as wild and as deep as the Danube is long...")
  • "Little Dog Lost"
  • "Pablo and the Dancing Chihuahua"
  • "Greta the Misfit Greyhound"
  • "Three on the Run"
  • "The Hound Who Thought He was a Raccoon"
  • "Atta Girl, Kelly!"
    etc.

    A set called, perhaps, "Disney Horse Tales"
  • "Run, Appaloosa, Run!"
  • "Stormy, the Thoroughbred"
  • "The Horse With the Flying Tail"
  • "The Tattooed Police Horse"
  • "El Blanco, Legend of the White Stallion"
  • "The Horse of the West"
  • "The Horsemasters"
    etc.

    A set called, perhaps, "Disney's Wildlife Tales"
  • "Run, Light Buck, Run"
  • "Flash the Teenage Otter"
  • "The Yellowstone Cubs"
  • "The Wahoo Bobcat"
  • "The Legend of the Boy and the Eagle"
  • "Chico, the Misunderstood Coyote"
  • "Ida the Offbeat Eagle"
  • "One Day at Teton Marsh"
  • "Joker the Amiable Ocelot"
    etc.

    And last but definitely not least:
  • Gallegher
  • The Further Adventures of Gallegher
  • Gallegher Goes West
  • The Mystery of Edward Sims

    Wistful wishful thinking adds things like the Alvin Fernald stories (The Whiz Kid and the Mystery at Riverton) and all those other cool "bunch of kids" adventures like For the Love of Willadean, Michael O'Hara the Fourth, The Secret of the Pirate's Inn, and things like that. Maybe even stuff like Elfego Baca and The Swamp Fox.

    Don't I wish I were in charge of the Disney DVD department!
