Thought this might be a good thread to pose this question, since I’m with so many Fantasia experts:
I went back and took a look at the 1990 release again, pulled the Deems taylor audio, and found that even on the re-recorded parts, the dialogue still does not match. Was the interstitial 1947/1990 Taylor audio a different take? The pauses in between phrases and even certain conjunctions are missing in the original Taylor audio recording vs the restored film segments.

Example:
(1990/1947 original Deems Taylor audio introducing the soundtrack)
“…but when I did [pause], I realized…”

(Burtons recorded dialog introducing the Soundtrack)
“…but when I did, I suddenly realized…”

The restored footage shows that Taylor mouthed “suddenly” as well as the script used as the basis for Burton’s audio indicated this was the correct line of dialogue from the beginning so why is the original Taylor audio so off? Surely an editor didnt go in and remove individual words from dialog to shave off 0.5s
