    Yeah, that was probably canceled for different reasons. Meanwhile Disney steams ahead with its 4k Blu-Ray remaster of Song of the South.

        I’m sure it was a joke about the current social climate in the US. But for all lovers of dull, mediocre, moderately offensive movies, the good news is you only have to wait a short 16 years for a copy. Its copyright expires in 2041.

          Oh. Yeah I looked it up and there’s actually a fan 4K restoration of Song Of The South on Archive.org.

          Well for what it’s worth Gone With The Wind is one of my favorite classic movies so maybe I’m in that same boat. Just got the Blu-Ray before the Mexico tariffs hit.

    I’m really sick of these streaming companies starting things they don’t want to finish because it was only moderately profitable instead of wildly profitable.

    We should have contracts that mandate minimum number of seasons for all of this.

    Like them rebooting Harry Potter. Why would I get invested when you’re just going to cancel it in three seasons? You want me to be invested? Put your money where your mouth is, out up the money for the entire series now if you are that sure of it. If you’re not willing to commit, why should I?

      Yeah if I ever ran a streaming service that made original content I’d put in a stipulation that if a cancellation order is made, the producers still get to make a proper end to the series in the form of a final season or a special or movie. How Netflix especially treats their original projects feels like if Barnes & Noble sold books in halves and flipped a coin in a back room to determine whether or not to sell the second half in 18 months.
