Disney Censorship / Myth Comparison: Black “Slave” Centaurs in Fantasia (1940)

The black “slave” centaurs appeared in five shots of the original release of Fantasia (1940). One of these shots was cut and the other four cropped or otherwise edited starting with the 1969 theatrical reissue. The 1990 50th anniversary theatrical release contained a further revision of how these shots were modified, as shown on the 1991 video premiere. Technology allowed for further changes for the 2000 DVD and 2010 Blu-ray releases as well, all of which are shown in this comparison with the corresponding footage from an uncensored Technicolor print (probably from the 1955 or 1963 reissue).
