If you're like and are big on having the original, unedited versions, you may want to check this out. WALT AND EL GRUPO itself is a bit of a let-down. It's a meandering documentary lacking focus. Better to check out THE BOYS or WAKING SLEEPING BEAUTY (though as a Disney buff, I'm still glad to have seen WALT AND EL GRUPO).

The Disney tie-in makes it that much more interesting to me, especially considering how much I like Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros. I liked Walt and El Grupo and am anxious to see it again.

Any leads on Snow White, Fantasia, Make Mine Music and Melody Time?
Originally Posted By FerretAfros What was cut from Snow White? I know about what was taken out from the others (including bits of Fantasia that were edited during the film's initial run), but I don't think I've heard of anything for Snow White, and a quick internet search didn't come up with anything.

When the movie was originally released, several local boards of censorship objected to it as being in poor taste (yes, Snow White was banned in Boston!) so Disney quietly removed it from subsequent prints. I don't even know if the animation still exists, and Disney sure ain't talking, but the audio is still very much out there, since the RCA Victor soundtrack 78s were mastered before the verse was cut. "A minute after I was born I didn't have a nightie So I tied my whiskers round my legs And I used them for a dia-dee." - Sneezy, 1937
Originally Posted By Bellella OH NO THEY DIDN"T!!!! Just kidding. That verse isn't that bad, but I can see why they would have to cut it. From "Make Mine Music," a package feature with no set storyline, they cut a segment called "The Martins and the Coys." The bootleg of "Song of the South" that I have has that segment as a hidden special feature. When I saw the segment for the first time, my only comment was "That was bad."
