Hey! The "Santa's Workshop" short has been edited.

[Tangela]

I don't know if someone has mentioned this or not but a small scene was removed from the animated Christmas short "Santa's Workshop" has been removed. I was watching the "A Walt Disney Christmas" video and while watching the film I noticed that a scene where Santa is printing the word 'Ok' on little dolls underwear has been removes. What is this all about? Did they find a picture of a naked man in two of the frames of the cartoon or what? I don't see any reason to remove that, I mean, it isn't offensive or anything...



By the way, I'll be feeling like an idiot if someone tells me that there's been a 150 times replied thread about this...

Well Disney is very carefull in those things. They also deleted smoking scenes from some Goofy shorts and other Walt Disney shorts. I guess this one was deleted because the kids could think that they have to put a stamp on someone's behind if you think their behind is OK No uhm, I guess it was something about Santa being too rough on the dolls or something, or it was something seksistic? (spelling ?) They must have had a reason!

Does Disney have a reason for everything they delete?

Maybee Roy Disney liked that scene, and that was the reason.

According to the excellent Disney Shorts website...

Cut Scenes

A scene where dolls are frightened by a spider, their hair sticks up on end and gets curled has been cut. A black seteroptype doll saying "Mammy" has been edited out as has a black doll riding a donkey cart.

The scene where santa was using his stamp on the dolls were in the short when it was aired here in Norway a couple of days ago.

Disney keeps editing their cartoon shorts too much.

NOw this is going a bit too far. What next? No scenes were kids sit on Santa's Lap for fear that it might be taken as something sexual?

if Micheal Jackson was that Santa Claus, then Disney has a very good excuse.

Whenever I have kids I will definately will not have my kids sit on his lap or "share his bed"
