Info: How many Disney 35mm scans exist?

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.

Hear, hear!

Max Fleischer's Superman cartoons
Time

The series finale of Riders of the Silver Screen last weekend on my PBS station showed a restored print of The Mechanical Monsters before the feature (which, incidentally, was a Republic oater with Wild Bill Elliott called Bordertown Gun Fighters). I could tell immediately that it was an older WB restoration and not the Mild-Mannered Edition, because while Lois’s outfit as she’s starting to fall out of one of the robots is brown (like it’s supposed to be) and not pink like in the recent restoration covered by Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader, it still uses the closing audio error endemic to the WB restorations on most of the shorts.
