Originally Posted By Dabob2 I've always noticed that too, and I guess they justified it with the idea that the centaurettes were good girls and the harpies were evil. And only evil women have nipples, obviously.
Originally Posted By Bellella OMG, are you kidding me?!!! "Fantasia" is one of the greatest movies ever. And it stands alone with putting animation to classical music. How can they possibly turn this into live-action?! It is awesome because it took animation to heights never before seen or seen since. You want to see live-action to amazing music, go to a ballet or get a big collection of musical films. "misunderstood Chernabog". Next they're going to do a movie all about how Cruella's not really a heinous bitch. I think they should re-release "Fantasia" on DVD with the original Deems Taylor narration and they should somehow digitally edit out Sunflower so we don't have to keep seeing parts of the Pastoral Symphony out of focus.
