   Interestingly, my Criterion is also the two-disc one with the Syd Mead   
   gallery!  Didn't realize it was Japanese!  Maybe I shouldn't get rid of   
   it after all.   
      
   I have at least a couple of others I definitely WON'T part with:   
   "Fantasia" big blue boxed set, and Disney's "Three Caballeros" boxed   
   set.  Apparently, when the DVD's for both of these were produced, some   
   politically-correct censoring was done.  I've read a number of comments   
   on Amazon.com about that.  My Pioneer CLD-97 is still chugging along   
   nicely, but what I may do is copy these to DVD's myself against the day   
   the "ole '97" dies!   
      
   I have a few other Collector's Editions that I may hang on to as well,   
   plus some things that have NEVER made it to DVD.  One in particular is   
   the movie "The Villain", with "Aahnold" in one of his first roles,   
   Ann-Margaret, Kirk Douglas, and Strother Martin.  If you don't know that   
   one, it's a human Wiley Coyote/Roadrunner movie.  An absolute SCREAM!
