I don't know if this has been mentioned, but here's an interesting interview with some guy from Disney (I'm not sure exactly who):

Actually, things are looking pretty good right now for "Song of the South" to finally be released on DVD in late 2008 / early 2009. But not for the reasons you might think.

You see, what with DisneyToon Studios now becoming a non-sequel producing operation as well as Dick Cook's decision last year to significantly cut back on the number of movies Walt Disney Studios will release every year ... Well, that leaves Buena Vista Home Entertainment (Soon to be renamed Walt Disney Entertainment) with significantly fewer titles to put out on store shelves in the coming year. And given that BVHE will still be expected to make its numbers ... Well, that means that they're going to have to release something that the public really wants to get its hands on. And that, my friends, is "Song of the South."
