Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977) Animated Feature - DVD release??

anyone seen this? I saw this in the theatre when I was 7. Found my copy of the vinyl album in the basement last night and listened to it. Joe Raposo of 'Sesame Street' fame wrote the music and lyrics I know Fox released this on VHS and have heard it's horribly pan and scanned. I would love a DVD widescreen version of the film for sentimental reasons, anyone know if Fox will ever this release this?

(VHS copy image from Amazon):

Fox apparently still owns the video rights to the film...

So, I'd love to see Fox do a remastered 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen DVD... perhaps they could also get Richard Williams to do an interview or commentary.

It's a really underrated film, but has some wonderful animation.

I would love to see this released. Haven't seen it since it ran on TV in the early 80s.

Oh. My. God. Yes, I have seen this. It is one of the two afternoon matinee movies I remember most from my childhood. My local theater would have dollar movies during the summer for kids, and this is one of them that played. It was in the late 70's I saw this as well. This and Santa Vs. the Martians are forever burned in my memory.

I don't think I would buy a DVD of it, though. But thanks for the memories!

I think he was a camel, but it may have been a horse. And I remember towards the end they got harrassed by a giant melty guy made of sweets.

it was definately a camel. You can tell it was made in the 70's the animator's must have taken some serious drugs or high on sugar to create that Candy-Goo Creature.

Ah, yes. It's definitely worth watching again from a revisionist "Puff the Magic Dragon" standpoint.
