Talk:Banned tapes

Walt Disney Cartoon Classics: Fun on the Job (1992)
What did they mean by "phrase misheard as cursing?" 69.85.235.49 15:55, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Says you!" "Says I!" "I'll bust you, you doggone snake in the grass!" But the first of these three is what caused the stir in the first place. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 01:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

So when did they ban this title? (especially considering it was released the same day "DSAS: Be Our Guest" was released -- June 19, 1992.) 69.85.235.49 12:21, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It wasn't Disney that banned it, it was Walmart, kowtowing to fundamentalist Donald Wildmon in 1994. Most future releases of the cartoon Clock Cleaners would be censored as a result. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 00:51, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

So this must mean the ban of this title only affected Wal-Mart stores... After all, that short was a Donald Duck short. 69.85.235.49 15:45, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Banned Tapes of "The Avengers" from Public Domain Home Video Distributors
In late-1992, The Avengers star Patrick Macnee and rights owner EMI Films filed a lawsuit against several public domain home video distributors, which he referred to as "The Pirates," over unauthorized home video releases of several The Avengers episodes and the audacity to claim that said episodes were in the public domain, even though they weren't. Among those were not only Burbank Video, but also Hollywood Select Video, Shokus Video, Video Images and Showcase Productions. As a result, the Burbank Video label was absorbed into Video Treasures for a couple of months, and a couple of older titles were re-issued with the Video Treasures logo on the product label, in place of Burbank Video. Macnee threatened to plank the companies in the ocean, and soon after, the companies had to pay heavy damages and the legal copyright was later re-established in mid-1993. The Burbank Video label was resurrected afterwards, with the launch of the new "Hollywood Favorites" line. 69.85.235.48 12:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
