Is Santa Bring Bootleg DVDs?



The living room is strewn with shredded wrapping paper. The cats use the piles of paper as a kind of fun park battleground. Santa`s empty milk glass sours on the kitchen table.

Santa picked up a cool bootleg dollar DVD at Target this year. If you want to too then you should move quickly because I think the Harryhausen Fairly Tales are still in copyright so I don`t know just how legal this disk is or how long it will be on the market?

I would have killed for this disk a year and a half ago but now that the restored Academy DVD is out this is sadly too little too late.

The source material is okay but once you`ve seen the restored Academy stuff nothing is quite as good even if you do save $29 and you also get two Ub Iwerks cinacolor cartoons (Tom Thumb and Simple Simon) a Mr. Piper very limited animation Wild Swans and yet another copy of Greedy Humpty Dumpty.

The disk is glued inside a pressboard box so future storage of the disk is in serious question. And I thought that the dollar DVDs were dead now that I am seeing them cropping up in thrift stores selling for 3 times their original price (thrift stores have a set price for DVDs that have nothing to do with the dollar stores).

We can`t hold Santa responsible for trafficking in pirated DVDs. I am sure that he acted in good faith. It is up to the store to make sure that the stuff they sell is on the up and up. (I don`t want to cross the Big Red One. I live in California and I don`t need the coal in my stocking)  ¶ 5:07 AM
