The film was reissued to theaters in 1967 and 1975, and released to video in 1981, 1986, and 1992. The film, having been shot in monochrome, also has an infamous distinction as one of the first Disney films to be colorized, for the 1986 video release. The process was not used successfully, but the film is still available in either black-and-white or colorized versions.
