Does anybody know why this wasn't released in the States?


I have a bootleg copy, picture and audio tend to go out of sync, but otherwise, it's pretty good. Why didnt they release it here?

Studio politics. Disney financed it but stuffed it into a vault when the comic book publisher, Wildstrom Comics, got bought out by Time-Warner. See my full answer about this in the above comment-review section of Gen 13. It's titles 'Friend of Altieri checks in.'

Yeah, it's also the reason why what started out as a live-action version ended up becoming Sky High via massive rewrites.

Could Columbine be another factor as well? For example, Batman Return of Joker was edited and delayed due to the incident.

^ A possibility.
