My Disney Movie Wish List

There are various Disney movies I'd like to buy, but this wish list is of a different sort: a list of titles that I wish Disney would release in DVD/BlueRay format (in no particular order)....

1) So Dear to My Heart - While I have this movie on VHS, I'd sure like to have it on DVD! This is available as a Region 2 release overseas -- I don't understand why one of Walt's favorites hasn't been distributed in the United States on disc. It is NOT a sequel to Song of the South.

2) The Light in the Forest - This was the first Disney movie for James MacAthur, which also stars Jessica Tandy and Fess Parker.

3) Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow - The used VHS edition of this title can go for a lot of money on eBay, etc. I've read that this title was slated for release a few years ago. I watched this on The Disney Channel back in the '80s-'90s, and I remember getting the paperback book from a school book order. Disney broadcast this as a three-part series on "The Wonderful World of Disney" and as a theatrical release overseas.

4) The Mickey Mouse Club (complete seasons of the original 1950s program) - Disney has released a little bit of the original Mickey Mouse Club on DVD: as Walt Disney Treasures volumes 1) The first broadcast week, 2) The Adventures of Spin and Marty, 3) The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure; also available is the DVD, "The Best of the Mickey Mouse Club." I wonder that, if seasons were actually released, that Disney would choose to make them available only in BlueRay format.

5) Gallegher - I remember that The Disney Channel -- in its earlier days -- had shown "Gallegher," though I never watched it. I was too busy with college projects and maybe a part-time job. I'd sure like to watch it now!

6) The Swamp Fox (complete series) - Disney released some episodes of TSF on a Walt Disney Treasures volume (Legendary Heroes) it shared with "Elfego Baca." Again, I remember this series being aired on The Disney Channel, but I didn't watch it. My mom was rather excited about it. I purchased the Treasure edition, and enjoyed the episodes that were released. I'd sure like for the balance of the shows to be released.

7) Elfego Baca (complete series) - Some of this series' installments appeared with "The Swamp Fox" episodes on the Legendary Heroes volume of the WD Treasures. I had never heard of this Disney work, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw. I'd certainly like to have the entire story.

8) Big Red - I may have seen a re-release of this movie as a child -- I'm not sure. In recent years, my mom had really talked-up "Big Red," so I checked out the VHS from our public library. It's a touching story and I've added it to my list of Disney favorites. While waiting for its DVD release, I've recently purchased the VHS edition online.
