Talk:List of Disney's Sing-Along Songs video releases

About Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

Let's not automatically believe Wikipedia about everything; that erroneous December 23 release date was suggested at a time when very little was known about home video compared to today. Now that Billboard and other magazines are easily available online, I prefer to refer to them where I'm able to for more accurate release dates. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 01:57, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Alright. I understand now. 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:5494:9F77:C31C:8013 02:05, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
You know what’s also erroneous? I Love To Laugh was believed to be released on 12-28-1990, but clearly it doesn’t make sense to release anything three days after Christmas. In addition, copyright years are production years instead of the actual release years. 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:89CE:FF4:DB9A:E170 02:39, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I Love to Laugh

Clearly, I doubt that I Love to Laugh is 1990, because as systemoperator/Jiminy Cricket pointed out, it would not make sense to release anything THREE days after Christmas.

Besides, Disney’s “The Jungle Book” completed production in 1966 after the death of Walt Disney himself, but never got released theatrically until 1967. Does that mean it’s 1966? NOPE, DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL.

I also would like to point out that some February 1992 Disney video releases still have 1991 copyright dates. As systemoperator/Jiminy Cricket also pointed out, that’s because the copyright year was the year the project had started and completed production. That clearly means the Feb 1992 video releases with 1991 dates were still 1992 and not 1991.

There obviously ain’t no such thing as a copyright year being a release year. I don’t really want to be rude, but it’s sadly true.

So, as for “Sing-Along Songs: I Love to Laugh”, what was the original release date? Which magazines prove whether this is 1990 or 1991?

That's what I intend to find out. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 04:11, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

If the release date is not in 1990 at all, then it most likely had to be either January or February of 1991. Some magazines/billboards should prove whether this is late 1990 or early '91.

There might even exist 1989 tapes with 1988 dates. 69.85.235.224 12:15, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
