Living color

Many years ago I purchased a VHS tape from Disney Home Video. #279V.(1981) It is that first color show aired in 1961. It's a two parter titled: "The Wonderful World of Disney," "An Adventure in Color." and "Donald in Mathmagic Land." It has Walt talking up color and includes Prof. Ludwig Von Drake lecturing about how great color tv is and how drab watching this show in B&W must be. A shameless (great) promotion for RCA color. I also, later found the original network opening for this episode which has the NBC Peacock followed by that great opening music and color sequence and the RCA Victor commercial for their various products including the new CTC-11 models. Good stuff. I'm not sure if the tape is still available. I would love to have it on DVD.
