On 8 January 1999, Disney issued a recall of 3.4 million copies of the home video version because two frames included an "objectionable background image", probably inserted without permission during production as an in-joke. The offending frames appear in a scene featuring a pan across an apartment: in one of the apartment windows, a picture of a topless woman can be glimpsed. This scene was intact for the original theatrical release in 1977. However, it was not in the 1992 video version because that was "made from a different print" according to a Disney spokesperson.

I assume some prints had these controversial frames. And the '99 release used one of these prints. I guess there was a LD release along side the VHS release. 

   Remember I was looking for a PAL dvd ( presumably uncut ) with the Portuguese track? Well, it seems the Spanish DVD version on a public tracker is being seeded (on and off) again. If I were to download it, connectability issues would be keeping me from getting it, and I imagine any help would be nice ( that is, more people in the swarm ).  It's the "Melody Time Disney Classic" one, at 4,37 GB and which specifies the Portuguese audio on its description. Since this forum does not support piracy, I'm not gonna mention the tracker's name, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to keep you AT BAY yet again...

Thanks for this. On  a whim, decided I should finally finish the animated canon, and immediately went to this list. Happy about this. I come here to open my mind, particularly because I don't feel I care about film preservation enough. Now I'm gonna end up ordering Walt & El Grupppo for an uncensored movie. 

There is an issue with the current Little Mermaid Blu-Ray (here are the details). However, just today Disney announced a replacement program for at least the first two main errors. As for the others - I don't know if they justify a preservation effort.

The fade during Scuttle's first scene has apparently been fixed in the Amazon digital copy, so it's to be expected that will be fixed in the replacement disc too. Good news they're putting any effort in it at all though.

Also, hello, new here. Between this and the other fairly long Disney thread, I can't quite figure out what projects people are currently working on. There are some mentions in this threads opening post, but the Song of the South 16mm thread seems to have come to a standstill (?), and I remember reading a Cinderella 35mm scan was supposed to be happening too? 

   I'd love to see a 16mm ( or even 8mm ) of the segment with the censored scenes from "Fantasia" show up, now THAT would be nice. All I've seen are very low-res videos.

   And if some of the more technically-gifted fans were to clean it up and re-insert it in the segment, that would also be great, wouldn't it?

   Now a real treat: What if Disney showed its past some respect and released it uncensored, even if that meant a big disclaimer which can't be skipped?

   By the way, does anyone know if there are any pics of the scene in "Snow White" that was replaced soon after released? The one where Dopey was crying after they find her dead, but his crying made people laugh , so it was removed? They mention that scene on the DVD extras.
