The Search Is On: FBI agents are continuing to search for 49,000 videocassettes of the Disney film “Fantasia” that were stolen last week when a man hooked up a trailer loaded with $1.7 million worth of the cassettes and drove off--5 1/2 hours before the real driver showed up. The tapes were stolen Wednesday from Vidco International & Associates Inc., a Disney distributor near Detroit. The tapes were new recordings of “Fantasia,” an animated film originally released in 1940 and scheduled for re-release on Friday. Walt Disney Productions has offered up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the theft.
