    Oh boy! This means we can FINALLY get all the "music" ones on DVD. We've been wanting "The Rabbit of Seville" and the Wagner parody etc. But so far hadn't seen them on any collections!!

    Oh boy! Thanks for alerting us. To heck with all this politcal stuff you post, this is the important information!
