For the first time ever, an uncensored and HD version of Disney’s Christmas classic, The Silly Symphony short “Santa’s Workshop”, is on the internet!
The uncensored version was actually officially distributed in 2006, but on DVD.

To create this HD version, I used the censored Blu Ray/Disney+ version for the most part, and a 35mm scan to restore the two removed scenes: the black doll yelling “Mammy!” and the marching “Jewish” doll. Worth noting that the 35mm print had significant splices in the beginning, which is why in the first place I used it just for censored bits. The scenes from the 35mm scan were color-matched to the Blu Ray for consistency.
The audio track is the track from the previously-mentioned uncensored DVD.

Available on the internet archive under the title “Walt Disney Santa’s Workshop (1932) HD Uncensored”.
Enjoy the classic Christmas cartoon in its entirety!

Hello everyone, Class316 and I are trying to start another Fantasia preservation project! Someone on Ebay is selling a 1990 35mm print. It appears to be in great shape but the price is high and we need your help in funding! Donors will get early access to the scanned reels.

This is absolutely not worth it, 13k for a film print is insane. Only place that gets anywhere near that amount of money is thestarwarstrilogy forum and even then this is a ludicrous price.

Got any ideas where we could get a 35mm print for a more affordable price? From what I can tell it’s pretty rare to see something like that for sale

Guys, if it wasn’t clear - Class316 and I really want to make this our next Fantasia release!
We brought you already three great looking and authentic versions of this classic.
You can be sure that if you get us all the donations we need (which is quite a lot) to buy and scan it, you’ll see a 35mm scan of Fantasia in spectacular condition and quality!

Didn’t you buy a print too for separate restoration?

No, I have access to one that the owner is willing to loan me for a scan and audio capture. Like the IB Tech and mag audio sources I’ve already digitized, preserving the '82 print will not be cheap, so it may have to come a little further down the line.

Rightfully. Respect to Kostal, but the 1982 version seems to be somewhat messy (although the CD may not do justice to it, as I had a partial digitized mag track that sounded way much better). It’s out of sync with the video, the musical interpretation doesn’t fit Stokowski’s version, and the print itself was described as “murky” at the time. It’s worth preserving, though, so people will be able to watch it - because as of now it’s completely unavailable, AFAIK

And BTW how’s everything going with this project here?

I have a 720p “Version 0.5” that’s technically done, but the noise level on the calibrated Fantasound mix is… bad. Sometimes, it’s really bad, and I didn’t want to send it out that way, so lately, in the interims, I’ve been applying a mild but suitable level of noise reduction (emphasis on reduction, I’m not trying to remove all of it) so the track is more listenable. I’ll have it ready as soon as possible, but it is coming along.

Wow that’s cool. I do have to say that I skimmed through the Tocatta and Fugue sample you gave some time ago and the sound was not at all too noisy. Is it a different audio now?

How come no prints of the Kostal version ever surfaced (That I know of)?

It’s actually come up several times on eBay over the last decade, and most recently for about $750. The release also exists in private collections; I know at least two people who each own a 4-track mag print.

Hey how is this going on? Any updates?

On and off over the past two months, I’ve been carefully removing clicks, pops, low-end hum and correcting all sorts of anomalies from the mag stereo tracks, channel by channel. A preview file should be ready soon.

Oh good!
Then why in the to-do list it says that the clean-up part is not yet in process? And do you have any news about the scans you are still waiting for?

Hey how is this going on? Any updates?

I wish I had, because I grew up watching this show in Israel Back when this dub aired. Sadly I have nothing of it, only episodes in English. Good luck though, and I hope someone else here can help you!

I got it from a estate auction and also got silence of the lambs 35mm complete

I PM’d you about this, please check your private messages

Seriously! Where did you get that?
This could save me some work I was going to do during my vacation (editing the German copy with titles from the Laserdisc)

Underbelly said:

I have a copy of lion king on 35mm

Is this the same German copy floating around? Or a new one?

Again, hilarious and revealing hot takes. This movie isn’t worth it. This ain’t it, chiefs.

That is YOUR opinion, and I find it actually quite offensive. I mean come on, who even talks like this today? You’re discriminating Song of the South lovers, you’re being a Songophobe! Deeply insensitive, so uninclusive. Shame.

Please. I’m done engaging with this bad faith argument about a movie that isn’t worth mine or anyone else’s time.

You are invited to speak for yourself - It was definitely worth my free time, as well as most of those who actually saw it and not just read the title “Disney’s racist movie” on some TikTok short with a picture of Uncle Remus.

I was only mocking Wokeists if that wasn’t clear. I find this cultural trend ridiculous (and sad, too), just like any logical human being should.

If Disney would ever treat Mary Poppins the same way they treat Song of the South, it would be nothing but a cultural crime. Enough is enough. You can’t just take every classic and look for the crazy reasons to label it as “wrong” - sometimes you just need to enjoy the movie and shut your mouth up, because there is what to enjoy, especially when it comes to masterpieces like this. Getting offended is a decision.

Back to Song of the South - if you are really that sensitive to take offense from a movie about a nice, clever and positively-portrayed black man telling folklore tales to children of both races and encouraging their friendship - just don’t watch, instead of telling people that they shouldn’t even be ABLE to view it.
But, Oh man… you need to work on yourself a bit.

These are the scans I’m aware of that have surfaced in various places:

101 Dalmations
Aladdin
Beauty and the Beast
Cinderella
Fantasia
Lady and the Tramp
Mulan
Pinocchio
Robin Hood
Sleeping Beauty
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The Jungle Book
The Lion King
The Little Mermaid
The Sword in the Stone
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Also technically nightmare before christmas and also unfortunately song of the south

Just because you don’t like Song of the South for whatever reason doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. 💀

Actually I also can’t find the 4K transfers of Snow White and Cinderella anywhere.
