Frankly, between WFRR and the shorts (which I recall were also edited), the logical answer is to create an Extras disc with slowed down footage, stills and/or whatever.

Otherwise you're swapping out a couple frames that went by so fast for years that no one ever knew they were there. You'd need to be a hummingbird to ever see them.

I'm a purist (see my Little Mermaid DVD...), but I never felt this to be an unreasonable/drastic change.

Besides, this is not another case of Disney edit a movie after the fact for whatever lame reason.  They fixed what pretty much amounted to intentional vandilsm of the film by pervy animators who wanted something to brag about to their friends.

It is not an alteration of the original intent of the film's creative team.
