Don't forget that the "Original Theatrical Version" you have sourced from is actually just a Laser Disc copy of the film, is not representative of the original version of the film. Both copies of the film is this video are in a CYMK colour timing, whereas the original was in an RGB colour timing :)

@miniroll32

the original theatrical version is not integrated on the american & german Laser Disc. I have both of them. If you know a data source for the original version, you can tell it to me. ;)

Where do have the original version from?

@TheFreakyChannel

from the youtube video "Fantasia - The Pastoral Symphony - UNCUT"

@Mschampagnekiss I don't think they necessary tried to make it "racist". There were servants of many different backgrounds back then...even the white angels are servants here, preparing the centaurs as well...

[KatiKosta]

@Mschampagnekiss And Sunflower? She is a little girl. And of course she doesn't have the appearance as the other two centaurs - because they are women, with woman bodies. Sunflower has braids, like a child would. Why, because she has larger lips? So what? Some blacks have larger lips than others. i don't see it as a negative, 'racist' quality. I mean, some Jews and Greeks have large noses, some Brazilians have more defined hips, Asians have almond shapes eyes...Different people, different looks

@lilglower The zoom in was awful at 02:55, when I say awful, I mean really awful..

[QueenLuver123]

the first one, is interesting to me. Just the way they showed things. I am no way racist, I'm sure my best friend (who is coloured) could put her veiw on it :)

[KatiKosta]

@Mschampagnekiss Well I guess you're just more insecure about it than me it appears...

[Mschampagnekiss]

@KatiKosta This type of imagery is no longer accepted this day in age. People don't look back at these movies and wish there was more movies made today with black slaves. Sure, that movie is a classic but im talking about Fantasia.Trust me, the world would react if they were still selling the movie with Sunflower in it. It might have been made in the 20th century but we're viewing it in the 21st century. I don't understand your argument here. How is this appropriate for children? It's racist.

[KatiKosta]

@Mschampagnekiss I just don't see how the world would 'react' over a little girl with angel babies preparing centaurs...Do people react with Gone With The Wind with Sissy? Did they cut out every Mammy and Sissy scene in the film? No, because it is a classic

[Mschampagnekiss]

@KatiKosta Oh sorry I guess they did take it out pretty fast and before the 60th anniversary edition but it's for the best.

[Mschampagnekiss]

@KatiKosta It does bother some more than others and you've watched it your entire childhood without seeing sunflower in it which I believe is for the best. Once again, you asked why it was taken out and I told you why. I wasn't the one who took it out of the film, if you have an issue complain to Disney and maybe they will release the original Fantasia with the black slave. Then lets see how the rest of the world reacts. And urgent? this is the 60th anniversary edition.

[KatiKosta]

@Mschampagnekiss Hun, I'm black too...I'm just saying there wasn't an urgent need to take it out...This film is a classic and I've watched it my entire childhood...I guess this bothers/offends some people more than others...

[Mschampagnekiss]

@KatiKosta Alright you asked why they took her out of the film and I told you why. I also didn't mention anything about her lips but clearly you know a lot of black people, such as myself, have larger lips than white people. This is a childrens movie and yes black slaves are apart of our history but innocent children don't need to see this. Why do you think they took it out of the movie in the first place hun? This isn't a proud part of the worlds history that should be seen at such a young age.
