Oh, its right in the trivia section:

In May 2003 Disney (which owns Miramax, the film's distributor) told Miramax that it would not be willing to distribute the film. In May 2004, Michael Moore announced that Disney had officially prohibited Miramax from releasing the film and expressed his frustration that the film was being stifled. Disney said that the decision had been made a year before and chief executive, Michael Eisner, said that Moore was announcing it to create publicity for the film's screening at the Cannes Film Festival. Meanwhile, British distributor Optimum Releasing announced that it would be distributing the film in the UK in the summer of 2004.
