Yes, I do have the European DVD source of Three Little Pigs, which is in PAL (25 fps) with the original video uncensored but the audio from the 1940's re-release. The audio and video appear to have been somewhat cleaned and restored, so in that case it's only a matter of replacing that one line (less than 10 seconds) with the original one.

The DVD in question is the European release of the Walt Disney Treasures box set Silly Symphonies, where the US release had the censored video but the European releases have the original video intact. I'm still not sure whether this was deliberate or a mistake for the European versions, as the Leonard Maltin introduction still described the original video version (the same intro as the US one).

The DVD has an average bitrate of 4773 kbit/sec for this short, and it is in PAL (of course in MPEG-2). The video is flagged as interlaced, but is as far as I can make out in reality progressive. I'd be happy to send the DVD VOB file to you, and I do hope jade88 can provide the audio soon.
