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?

As it so happens ...

There was an episode of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (A.K.A. Disneyland) entitled Magic And Music (season 4: episode 22 -- 1958) that aired The Pastoral Symphony segment of Fantasia, pre-censored!

Before censorship:                                                After censorship:
 
                                        and ... *poof* ... black centaurette be-gone.

(In fact, there were many Disney TV offerings featuring full and partial sequences of Fantasia. See quite a nice listing at
IMDb - Fantasia (1940) Connections

under Featured In.)

Also ... as it so happens ...

has 3+ days left, as of this posting. There is some film-fade but it's not too bad. That's good to keep away some bidders who don't know of OT projects.   ;)

(If anyone is thinking of going for it as an OT project, it might be a good idea to let others know, so there's no pointless bidding war.)
