So they replaced it with Winning It All right? I don't really understand that since that's still a licensed song. And We Are The Champions still plays at the end of the second movie as far as I'm aware
Had seen the first one a bunch of times as a kid- never saw 2nd or 3rd—- it was up there with sandlot in my book…. But hadn’t seen it until 2025- I’m like wtf?!
Disney had the rights to it for theatrical and VHS. They did not have it for the Disney Channel version. I distinctly remember watching it on Disney Channel in the mid 90s and being mad it wasn’t there.
I think Disney took the commercial VHS and thought it auto-applied to DVD and as DVD became the rage in early 00s, they had to renegotiate a lot of deals and that was one they couldn’t make happen.
Not mentioned: Hollywood Records, Disney’s record label, held the distribution rights to Queen’s library in North and South America, or at least North America.
The VHS had We Are the Champions, but if you watched the movie on The Disney Channel it used Winning It All, which honestly I kind of like better for that scene.
I read somewhere that apparently we are the champions/ we will rock you was used for the UK version (LA too) and the regular ducks song for the American version.

Never even finished the 2nd one- they didn’t replace the song- just instrumental
I did buy it recently on prime video streaming- ff to that scene- if I remember correctly I encountered no lyrics
Yep just instrumental- what a crock

The first ever printing of the DVD still had Queen. I own it and it does.
How many copies are u aware of?
I’m really curious when Mickey said we need to save money- as soon as the 2nd batch?
I think and I’m speculating….

We are the champions I blast anytime my team wins it all- and that idea was given from this flick
VHS for me ——anything substituted booo! I hadn’t seen it since that era… I’m curious how much Disney saved from the dvd era onwards
