History Trivia / TheProudFamily

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For years, ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyMovie'' was only available on a cropped 4:3 DVD and only some of the first season was available on [[{{iProduct}} iTunes]]. However, in July 2017, 51 out of 52 episodes that aired on TV were made available for streaming on Watch Disney Channel and for purchase on places like iTunes, which also began selling the movie in widescreen; Creator/DisneyPlus added the movie on launch day and the same 51 episodes on New Year's 2020. ("Don't Leave Home Without It" was conspicuously missing due to music licensing issues.) In belated honor of the show's 20th anniversary, Disney announced a March 2022 DVD release for all 52 episodes and the widescreen version of the movie.

The episode also resurfaced on [=iTunes=] shortly before the DVD's release.
