Joe, while I dislike censorship - I do understand that Walt Disney did approve the editing of the black maid centaurette scenes in Fantasia. As I understand it, this was done for the 1956 re-release of Fantasia to the theaters. Back then, Walt was THE MAN and approved ALL such decisions.
Of course, the more recent "digital erasing" is a modern version of the editing.
I never felt that the black maid centaurette scenes were that bad, but I am not of black racial heritage. I do remember one person that I traded with who shared this story with me. He had a black female friend who remembered seeing those scenes in the early years of Fantasia when those black maid centaurette scenes were still in Fantasia. It made her very sad to see such a demeaning portrayal of her race. She had always told others about those scenes, but had no proof that they actually did originally exist - until I was able to share the uncensored TV show with her friend. She was then able to verify that those scenes did originally exist.

Hmm, according to the DVD, the censorship was done in a reissue in 1969 - and that was after Walt's death. So, that's why I'm doubtfull about his aprooval.
Hmm, pretty interesting story of your friend's friend. Yes, I agree these scenes don't show a positive portrayal of black people, but even more wrong is to hide them from the public (after all, this was the 1940s). Disney could make the two versions available, but I'm doubtful they ever will.

Joe, my 1956 censorship date was based on several reliable sources back in the 1980s. I'll check some of my current sources and see if I can verify that date. I do remember clearly being told that the Disney Company was embarrassed that they had accidentally used an uncensored Pastoral Symphony for the Magic And Music 1958 TV show, when the film had been already censored for the 1956 release.

Joe, after checking around, it does appear that 1969 is now the date agreed upon that the black maid centaurette ("Sun Flower") scenes were removed from the Pastoral Symphony section of Fantasia. One of my "reliable" sources back in the 1980s was the Disney Archives, but I have occasionally gotten unreliable information from them. Assuming 1969 was the censor date - you are correct in that Walt Disney had no part in that decision to censor.

It is a nice show, but I no longer have it in my collection. A year or so ago I donated a large portion of my Disney video collection to a Disney Employee library so someone could continue to enjoy the videos. I had watched the videos numerous times and felt I would not watch them again. I have never been much for keeping something in my collection just to "have it" - I have to want to watch it again.Joe Carioca wrote:I have always wanted to see this one!!!!jebsdad wrote:Show #15 of 106 shows.
