Disney told Moore over a year ago- in early May 2003- that they would *not* distribute his film in the U.S..
Initially, Moore published one of his infamous "Mike's Messages" to his website, in which he claimed Disney was attempting to censor him. He suggested they just recently told him that they wouldn't be distributing the movie. In a mea culpa just a few days latter, he half-heartedly admitted that he didn't tell the whole truth, but then lamely claimed that he thought Disney would never really follow through on their decision to not release his film because "they kept giving [him] money."
Despite Disney's decision- which is not all that unordinary, considering they have the right to deny distribution to self-financed films they deem controversial, not to mention their recent shareholder troubles- the film currently has a worldwide distribution, along with a nearly completed deal for U.S. distribution thanks to Mirimax's Weinstein brothers.and here is a page dedicated to the lies in Bowling:
