Yep.

I have that dvd too. By now you would know that it's not exactly flawless. It is basically intact, all the songs are there, and the commercials. The color is good and the quality of the picture is quite acceptable. The one drawback, at least with my copy, is what could best describe as " micro- skips" - barely perceptible glitches that interrupt a line or a lyric for a fraction if a second. Its bearable but imperfect.

If you want the full movie, the 1998 Golden Books Home Entertainment video cassette release is the way to go. however the prices vary. www.amazon.com/Mouse-Mayflower-Tennessee-Ernie-Ford/dp/0307141985/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1623681350&sr=8-1

Also there is a DVD with 1971 McDonald's commercials that is sometimes sold on the official Rankin/Bass' Historian Rick Goldschmidt's Miser Bros Press etsy shop. Although I'm told that every time someone uploads The Mouse on the Mayflower to RUclips both full 50 mins and 44mins, the 1964 Rudolph commercials and Rudolph's alternate end credits, Rick takes the videos down. He is known to do that. Like every other company, he is very protective of the copyrights even though Classic Media (formely Golden Books Home Entertainment) owns the film.

Presumably the book doesnt have Disney animation though. Just words on a page (little ink symbols consisting of simple angles and curves) I gather. Which puts a very hard limit on any fascination it might engender.

he didn't delete that here on youtube. I deleted this video a couple of years ago (and reuploaded it in early 2020), after I left his facebook group. (I did the same with the Rankin/Bass Tolkien Retrospective.)

@@voicetalentBrendan ok, but he's still known for doing that stuff, I mean someone else posted the ge commercials for Rudolph and the ge fantasy hour was slightly different than in rick's youtube version, and did not have the weird skip or watermark and guess what, he requested it to be deleted, and it was deleted I think it was terminated too. He actually copyrights that stuff somehow, I don't know the legality but he does. He also makes the stuff in limited quantities and expensive as well, making it harder to get the information. He also gives one star reviews to dvd before they are released, yet he wonders why they never want to work with him. Yes he's written books, talked to Arthur Rankin Jr and other Rankin Bass crew, and did a buttload of research about Rankin/Bass, but by doing this, he's decreasing his credibility. I have a feeling he may be responsible for the deletion of Robatsea's grinch bank bumpers (Even though it's not even Rankin/bass he still put this in one of his dvd-rs and probably copyrighted it too), someone else uploaded it, but hurry up, it could be gone at any minute.

@@ArchiveofAwesomeness1886 Ok. (exhausted sigh) funny you say that. in his facebook group he deleted my review of a fairly recent dvd/bluray set of rankin/bass christmas set he had no involvement in. Universal/Classic Media did a shoddy job on the restorations (as well as inconsistant color timing) he told me "it's best not to talk about it". so for years I never brought it up again, out respect for him.

@@ArchiveofAwesomeness1886 I only have one of his dvds. Rudolph 1964. I find it weird that Dr. Seuss and Chuck Jones" Grinch is on there with Full Service Banks commercals on a rankin/bass' Rick Goldschmidt Miser Bros Press "archive" dvd. and I have a few of his books from christmas.

@@voicetalentBrendan yeah, i know and that isn't rankin bass

Susan Sheridan was good too.

right.

@@voicetalentBrendan i feel like haley mills as Eilonwy would have been interesting

Eilonwy is 110% spunky. That's one of her primary defining character traits.

She is in the books. All the characters had so much potential on paper. Taran is a guy who earns other people respect as a result of his struggle to cope with the lack of high-born origin. Eilonwy is spunky and witty. Sadly the movie required much more length do develop their arcs.

She wasn't as spunky as she was in the book, but she was spunky.

They are finally releasing it, through the Disney Movie Club! Sadly there is still no extended cut.

@@JosephDavies I'm really excited for the Blu-ray release 😄

@@DTSsince2016 Me too! I thought I'd reply in case you weren't aware of it since you expressed interest here some time ago. :)

@@JosephDavies Thanks!

​@deaththunderstudios1734 your gonna be waiting for a while buddy

Yeah I forgot what an arrogant little shit he was

@@torytellstales he was also prideful he keeps denying that hes not afraid but he really was.

It's supposed to be a character arc where he learns to be a better person, but it's mangled by the editing and under-developed script. It doesn't help either that this film is made out of a hybrid of the first two books in a five-book series, the entirety of which is about Taran growing up and learning these lessons.

Same! I liked the film as a kid, but I couldn’t stand Taron or Gurgi 😂

@@JosephDaviescharacter arcs are pretty gay tbh

They also fired the director Richard Rich, who went on to make The Swan Princess

"of not making the same mistakes." wtf does that mean? lol

@@kensuke0 Considering the fact that Disney helped kill their 2D film animation department due to the success of 3D animated films, The Black Cauldron was an example that the company heads probably used to state why 2D animation isn't profitable. Despite that I and many loved The Black Cauldron, Disney company heads wanted more money, which lead to weird directions even to this day. Walt Disney introduced 2D animated films and most of them were more close to entertainment for both adults and children, he helped with the production of Song of the South and that was a film that was rather controversial, but Walt Disney had faith in the film project. Goes to show that nowadays that after Walt died, so too did the original intention of the Walt Disney company. It was supposed to bring joy and happiness both to staff and audiences by creating entertainment that would attempt to end depression and spark imagination, but now it seems that the company wishes to kill imagination all for the sake of monetary gain after monetary gain that outdoes itself each time for the wrong reasons, even filming one of their films near a concentration camp in China. "of not making the same mistakes" is company head talk for, "we need to make money than making films not making money". It happens in all companies, it leads to failure after failure of films all for the sake of monetary gain. They are making money, but unfortunately making bad films in the process to this day. Not to shill, but I prefer Zack Snyder's Justice League over the entire MCU and DCCU. I saw something great in it that was missing in recent films, passion and imagination (by the way I love 4 hour films for some reason like Love Exposure and The Forest of Love). The Disney company suck and should be boycotted to teach them a lesson, or to stop this madness and to stop tarnishing a dead man's legacy with horrible greed and to stop killing franchises slowly.

You forgot about that stupid Care Bears movie.

I think that's Guy vasilovich the layout artist/animator

Susan Sheridan was amazing too.
