Don't buy Censored material
Don't get me wrong Fantasia and to a lesser extent Fantasia 2000 are both great films and deserve 4-5 stars. This review is about the material actually included on the set.
Disney's marketing department is up on their high horse again with respect to being too politically correct.
As quoted from "The Digital Bits" web site - "...the original theatrical version of the film featured a 'black centaurette' character in The Pastoral Symphony sequence. For the previous DVD release, this character was removed via a digital zoom. Our sources tell us that this change is still part of the new Blu-ray, but that with improved digital tools the edit is more seamless."
Shame on you Disney. Sticking your head in the sand again because you're afraid of a little controversy.
Enough is enough. Don't buy this or any other censored product from Disney. Tell them to stop this practice by hitting them where it counts, the bottom line. Disney, you should either not release a product at all (think the travesty of Disney not releasing "Song of the South") or do release it in it's native format and include and explanation of the climate in which the original material was released.
Disney, pull your head out of the sand and stop being afraid of what people might say.
