After 10 years of searching....Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi has been posted to YouTube!

Way back in January of 2012, almost ten years to the day (the orignial post was put up on January 25, 2012), I wrote a post about the film, Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimunudi.
At that time Disney had been putting metal-cased DVD sets out that featured much of the company's old television shows and specials.
As they were being released, Disney had publicly posted the contents of each of the upcoming releases in the series.
And on one of those listings was where I saw something I didn't know existed...
A film by Disney that featured coatimundi...
Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi.

I've spoken/emailed folks over the years who've had relatives that worked on the film and one whose father even handled the coatimundis!
Communication with a couple of folks gradually diminished and the only person I'd interacted with whose father had a copy of the film, eventually ceased and I was back at square one...
Until just a few days ago when I decided it'd been a couple years and that I should give the search another try.
I search the title on YouTube knowing I'd probably be let down...
And I wasn't.
In fact when the search results came back? My I covered my open-mouthed reaction with my hand and my eyes went wide...
There it was posted online for everyone to watch the antics of a coati in a Disney film (Encanto also features coatimundis with some pretty accurate gremlin-like behavior)...
I promise this won't be one of those recipe posts where I discuss mt g-ma's cabin by the lake for twelve paragraphs...

Here it is...after 10 years of on-and-off looking...
Disney's Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi
Enjoy!

(I'll be writing a longer post about this film and the search for it later in a few weeks)

The most adorable heist ever!

A small troupe of coatis pull off the most adorable heist ever in someone's villa at the Banyan Tree Resort in Acapulco.

The Search for Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi continues...

  My mission to get a viewable copy of 'Charlie Crowfoot and the Coatimundi' continues.
  Having $99 dollars would probably help at this point.  Apparently the film is available on a 'Disney Treasures Collection' DVD!  When an extra one hundred dollar bill lands in my lap, I'm going to have to continue my hunt for a cheaper version of this film.
  During Christmas I received a very cool gift from someone who truly 'gets' my love for coatis.  The last gift I was handed to open was a very light, very flat object about the size of a standard sheet of typing paper.  After removing the bow, carefully peeling off the wrapping paper and separating two flat rigid piece of shipping cardboard used for photos, I was elated to see an old black-and-white glossy print of a photo of a coati perched on a metal bar.  The tagline on the bottom of the photo got me even more excited...'The Wonderful World of Disney - Charlie Crowfoot and the Coati Mundi'!
  Amazing!
  It's a piece of promotional material used to promote the film.
  Below you'll find two high-resolution images of the front and back of the photo.
  While I have yet to see the film, I quietly love not being able to afford it right now.  It's not always about the end of the race, it's most definitely about the journey.
   Hopefully you'll enjoy following along as this blog continues and I uncover more and more cool things that coatis have managed to get themselves into.
  Thanks for your continued support of this blog and enjoy the photos!
