As a child of the early 1980s, I had to reconcile two quite different images of the Disney brand. On the one hand, there was the much beloved taped-from-TV copy of Robin Hood featuring Sir Hiss and some Roger Miller songs; on the other hand, there was Disney's practice of stuffing its films back into "the vault" if you didn't buy them when Disney said you should. The "vault" seemed like a low sort of thing to do, but then "Papa" Michael Eisner would walk into my TV set on Saturday nights to introduce a new episode of Wonderful World of Disney (from which the Robin Hood tape had been made), and all was forgiven.
