You may think nobody would spend this kind of money just to destroy something but it does actually happen. Seems kind of pointless since they've been making bootlegs out of these discs for years already. They couldn't make this movie disappear, not ever, so they'd just be wasting their money. Then again, anybody who would do such a thing wouldn't be blessed with a lot of grey mass anyway.

The irony is that it only has a reputation because the Disney Company claims it has a reputation, and they themselves made a fuss over it when they falsely claimed they were never going to release it to home video... and then proceeded to release it on home video in obscure foreign markets only in the 1980's.
I have a bootleg VHS of it myself. The manner in which Walt Disney chose to present Joel Chandler Harris's 'Uncle Remus' stories was incredibly strange in retrospect. Would've made far more sense to just make the cartoons, but I guess maybe Walt or one of his directors had that presentation concept bouncing around for some time to make it as a live-action Civil War era movie. There was nothing in the movie even remotely as racist as the Disney Company claimed. Think about this, Disney owns the rights to the "Roots" mini-series, and they've published that to DVD and it even got a 40th Anniversary BD in 2017. But, oh scary, a G rated family musical movie about a southern family during the Civil War, apparently that's a detriment to society according to Disney. I don't pretend to understand this since there isn't any logic to it, but then there isn't any logic to most of what the Disney Company has done in the past two decades either.
