And you can still get sealed copies for $9.98 on the 8mm video and play
them back with your 8mm videotape camera. I have one and it's the real
thing stereo and everything and the quality is better than VHS.

I didn't mentioned *anything* about it being for sale at a DisneyStore.
There's a place that specializes in 8mm prerecorded tapes mail order.
Yes, it's an offical Disney tape with silk screened cassette and
original color artwork on the box. I belive this was at a time when
Disney was tinkering with the idea of 8mm being a 'wave of the future'
and dropped the idea. I say this because I've never seen many
pre-recorded tapes and the catalog only had one other Disney title (Mad
about the Mouse). I'll be happy to give you the # email only.

First a correction. The 8MM video tape of Little Mermaid doesn't have a
silkscreen printed on the cassette. It's just a label-- sorry for my
misinfo earlier. The artwork is high quality and slightly diffrent than
the VHS- it's the same as the CAV laserdisk version.The back of the
tape says "mastered in digital video and audio and presented in hi-fi
stereo with surround". I have absolutely no reason to belive these are
a bootleg as during the early '90's lots of companys tinkered with the
idea of releasing movies on 8mm tape.
Also, I don't think the Disney armada of lawyers would put up with
bootlegs advertised nationaly in the US.
That and the high quality of the print and crispness of the artwork
says--"it's original". Also, the artwork on the box is crisp, clean and
quality. Bottom line, it looks great on TV.
You'll have to email me because my home newsfeed doesn't allow for
email replies.
