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...
