If you look into it, Disney (because, well... money, not any actual guilt) actually sold VHS tapes from the 90s to the early 00s in many countries except the US. Many "bootleg" copies originate from them.

You can find the VHS on eBay for ~$40-$50 from the UK.

Also “ The Princess and the Frog “ and “ Mary Poppins “ (1964)

What about them? The Princess and the Frog is from 2009.

There’s many earlier versions of that story ex: “The Frog (1908)”

But I don’t know which is being referred to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Frog_Prince

Sure. But the one titled The Princess and the Frog is 2009.

Yea, but it was a common way to describe the story before Disney titled their movie that way.

So, I wasn’t sure if they where suggesting a VHS version of that 2009 movie existed, making reference to the meme around the 2009 movie being a throwback, or just something else.

Interesting. I guess VHS is the low-quality source of my DVD rip.

Another thing you can look into, here's the secret words: Canción del sur.

The film went public domain in Spain. And surprise, there's some boutique resellers in Spain who do DVDs and Blu-rays... and add language tracks...

Thanks!!

I mean, it's available right here: https://archive.org/details/SongOfTheSouthHD

But also worth noting that it _wasn't_ the first to mix live action with animation. It had been used in shorts and experiments all the way back to 1900, but for a full-length film, Warner Bros. released You Ought to Be in Pictures in 1940. And The Three Cabelleros beat it by nearly two years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRIBUlP3GC4

eBay banning the sale of the DVD is extremely dystopian

Why is it an issue for eBay to ban it when there's already a list of prohibited categories of items?

It's easy enough to download a copy of it if you're interested in banned items.

Because it's a value judgement. It's one thing to say "we don't deal in porn and guns" but to then pick specific media they do deal in and say "oh and also this one" imparts the kind of fine-grained value judgement that it's inappropriate for an eCommerce platform to be making.

I see your point, but there's also value judgements with other categories. How is an "adult" or "pornography" item defined?

Personally, I don't have an issue with a business choosing to ban or allow items as it's their platform and their business choice. If they choose to not sell any lithium batteries due to their flammable nature, then that would also be acceptable and not in my mind dystopian. There's arguably some risk in being involved with sending potentially offensive media through the mail.

it's a private company

Is there any more dystopian than Google editing Frank Zappa’s track listings because of a single track?
