Foreign Screenings (According to Maureen McDonald)?
I was reading an article just a few minutes ago, and I stumbled across this quote from Maureen McDonald (brother of Michael McDonald, and singer of "Out on My Own" and "Twice Upon a Time" [who helped write the songs]). What do you guys make of this? (from http://home.earthlink.net/~ironybread/20yrs.htm)
"Awareness of the feature in the United States is growing thanks to perennial broadcasts on Cartoon Network. It remains alive overseas as well. 'We get royalty checks all the time,' says singer/songwriter Maureen McDonald. 'Internationally, the film is big. If we’re looking since '84, it has been played consistently on cable all over Europe and throughout the world. We’ve even gotten radio airplay in places like France and Germany. It’s been played in Japan. The European market is so much more open on a creative side than the U.S. market.'"
I know it only got one broadcast on Cartoon Network (I've heard two from some sources - can't find them easily, which is why I tend to just go with the single airing), but has it really been screened abroad, theatrically or on cable (let alone gotten songs on the radio)? Can anyone confirm this?
