About the PetitionWhy The Wizard?Simply put, The Wizard is my favorite movie of all time. It has great music, great comedy, and great Nintendo. it manages to come across as a good movie with a plot instead of a hundred-minute Nintendo commercial.
Do you have a copy?Yes, I am fortunate enough to own a video tape of The Wizard. However, many people are not, and would greatly enjoy owning a copy. I would especially like to see The Wizard released on DVD in anamorphic widescreen (and it had better be a good one).
I've never seen this movie. Why should I care?1. You might not remember it (it's the one with Super Mario Bros. 3, Fred Savage, and lots of other video game stuff).2. It's an important part of Nintendo history (this movie is why Mario 3 sold 17 million copies). 3. It's way better than the Mario Movie.
What does the letter you're sending look like?Well...Dear Sir or Madam, The purpose of this letter is to briefly detail the enclosed Wizard petition, a petition to re-release the 1989 movie The Wizard (starring Fred Savage, Christian Slater, Beau Bridges, etc.). This petition, signed by myself and over one hundred other people, aims to get this movie re-released on video and DVD. In order to further persuade you, the petition contains questions that essentially amount to free market research. This project started back in February of 2000, after the Disney Channel failed to show The Wizard as scheduled. After that, I started this petition on the internet, and since then over one hundred people have signed their names. Additionally, several other sites agreed to help me by linking to the petition, and I could not have gotten this many signatures without their assistance. It may surprise you to learn that I already own The Wizard on VHS. Of course, after ten years, that tape is starting to degrade. That's why I and several other people want the movie to be re-released on DVD. With its sharper picture and clearer sound, DVD will create a whole new Wizard experience. Therefore, I implore you to forward this petition to those responsible for making re-release decisions. It would make a great deal of people happy (not to mention you richer) if this movie was re-released. Sincerely,
(signature)
