The last one in many ways

In many ways, this movie represents the end of an era. It is the last Disney animated feature who was released on VHS. It is the last handdrawn movie made in the Eisner era. It is the last feature who used CAPS (Computer Animation Production System). And it is the last movie made by Disney's original feature animation. After this one, they shut down the handrawn animation division, sold the old equipment and focused on CGI movies only. Only after the fusion between Disney and Pixar was the division for handrawn animation re-opened.

And it was actually better than I had expected.

Actually I think that Chicken Little was the last one to be released on VHS

SOrry, but I still think it was Home on the Range. But I'll admit I was wrong if I can see at link where there are some info about Chicken Little on VHS.

Well there are Chicken Little VHS's for sale on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Little/dp/B000ICZZHI/ref=sr_1_10?s=dvd&a mp;ie=UTF8&qid=1291787016&sr=1-10), but Wikipedia said that it was the first Disney movie to be DVD only, so who knows?

Interesting. That's the only place where I have seen it so far. I have tried both Google and ebay, but there has been no results there.
As for Wikipedia, I don't trust it too much unless there is a reference.
Also interesting that the tapes are so expensive compared to for instance Home on the Range. Maybe some kind of limited VHS edition. Or could it be a bootleg version?
Maybe someone in a Disney forum knows more.

Maybe they're from another country?

[–] Askur 14 years ago

If so, it would still have to be an English speaking country, since the words on the cover are written in English. It also seems like the movies are shipped from USA. Judging from this, it looks like they are American tapes.
