If you did not buy the DVD special editions of Old Yeller, Pollyanna, Parent Trap, Swiss Family Robinson, Escape to Witch Mountain, 20,000 Leagues, Tron, Treasure Island, and the others that Wal-Mart has been stocking and prominently displaying over the last 6 months or so, you may have lost your chance to get them at a great price. I noticed this week that the Wal-Marts around us had taken them out. An employee confirmed that they had taken down the displays. Some titles were mixed in (few), but most were sent back.

They are still showing up on amazon.com and some on disneystore.com (though not in the Disney Store, where you would think they would be available anyway), but I don't know for how long.

These are great DVDs, with some of the best and most extensive archival special features that I have ever seen. Grab them if you like the classic live action and you can find them, before they go completely away.

I don't know if the Love Bug is one of these that got pulled but I have the DVD and you're right...a lot of extras/special features...and footage from Disneyland!

Yes, it was. I love all of those special editions. Last year, Entertainment Weekly even listed 20,000 Leagues as one of the best overall DVDs of the year.

If anyone finds all these special editions at another retailer, please post it here.

Well, I just checked Wal-Mart.com, and they have every single one of the DVDs you mentioned except for Escape To Witch Mountain, which they only have on VHS. I could have sworn seeing TRON at Circuit City the other day as well. Maybe Disney is not pulling them off shelves, but your local Wal-Marts are possibly just taking them off their shelves because they may not being selling well in your area.
