These are not "new" DVD's in the release or mastering sense. They are simply copies from the original on VHS video tape. Quality is OK, but only for VHS and would be considered poor for DVD standards. The film was a great success and I also saw it in a theater as a child. The most notable song, Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah was a number one hit in 1946 or 1947, when the movie was released. Definately an uplifting movie after a terrible war. Yes, it used stereotypes as part of it's "charm", but that was another time and the movie certainly took us to another place.
