I am asking anyone who has purchased the new Peter Pan release,

Did you notice any parts were missing, censored out? I just wonder if anything went the way of Peco Bill's cigarette. It's not like they announce when they decide to do these things we just have to watch and compare. I have the 1990 black diamond edition so I would be very interested to know if anyone knows of any changes between the 1953 theatrical release and the 1990 black diamond release. Thanks in advance.

Well, I already have the Diamond Edition Blu-ray, so I may get this on Digital HD only.

I've never purchased a digital copy before. This is the first computer I've had in a few years and there are copies of things I'm not having any luck finding locally. Definitely worth thinking about. Thank you

If it doesn't include any rediscovered Oswalds then there is no reason to buy this.

I strongly agree with this. (And unfortunately, there is nothing about any being on this edition)

In fact, when I found out there was going to be yet another Peter Pan Blu-ray, I said that I wasn't sure on whether to get it or not because almost all of Disney's Blu-ray releases to date have not been worth the wait. Most of it has consisted of either whatever new movies they have currently, some sort of re-release of an older movie to promote the release of its sequel (for example, The Incredibles was released on 4K UHD as a tie-in to Incredibles 2), and more irritatingly, retreads of the obligatory "vault" titles that seem to come out simply to let consumers know that they're still in print (and mostly, these re-releases are incredibly unnecessary, especially because they mainly drop extras from previous versions and add new, less enticing ones - not counting the Oswald shorts on Pinocchio and Bambi).

Sadly, this release method has done the rest of the studio's extensive film, TV show, etc. library very little favors, and as a result numerous pieces of its history - such as the primetime television series from the 1950's-1960's, the animated shows from the 1980's-2010's, and especially the animated short cartoons that propelled Walt from being the [little] studio-runner that could to a worldwide phenomenon decades ago - remain locked up in a large vault never to see the light of day (excepting a couple of thin and light-on-extras DVD releases). If Disney knows there's an audience for characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, etc., there is no reason to keep the material that made them famous in the first place unavailable to the public outside of a certain video-streaming website that is littered with hour-long marathon videos aimed directly toward young children who are practically oblivious to these characters' history.

It is a shame to see so many re-releases without proper bonus content you are absolutely right. I for one would absolutely love to see more of the live action reference footage and photos used in production as well as more archive footage of the film actually being worked on. They never seem to release enough of it to us.

Though I have seen promises of bonus content on various DVDs and Blu-ray copies that I don't own yet I might well just hunt around for just the bonus content.

Also does anyone know if Bongo was ever released again after the Fun and Fancy Free 50th anniversary commemorative edition VHS? I've only seen the Jack and the Beanstalk story.

Who said there were anything edited on the recent DVD and Blu-Ray? I don't recall any news on that.

Don't know why you would post this in the Television Animation subforum, but whatever.

I haven't heard anything about any cuts and we do get some good extras like a 9 Old Men documentary.

I don't see what this thread has to do with TV animation, so I moved it to the TTTP in Exile forum.

I'm having trouble navigating the forums I couldn't open the forum that says "classic animation" I still can't it seems to not exist it's just a headline for me. I don't know what the problem is.

I don't recall there ever being an announcement ever for any censorship. Do you?
Have you seen an edition of Melody Time or Fantasia that sayas "Now censored!" on it? No of course not, They just censor it, say nothing, and release it.

That's why I'm asking if anyone has seen the new "signature collection" release. I am wondering about any new censorship.

Thank you. Whatever you did fixed the error I was having and now I can actually open the pre1970s forum. I'm just glad the issue seems to have resolved itself.

I honestly don't think you have to worry about anything. If there was censorship, someone would've definitely reported it.

Incidentally, Melody Time has gone back to its uncensored state a while ago. They had it on Disney Family Movies on Demand a while ago and everything was definitely uncensored.

You know, watching my VHS copy of Melody Time I thought it was a "Definitely Uncensored" movie too. Pretty much everyone got to keep their various pipes and cigars. I got really excited. Then I got to the end. The Peco Bill segment, the only part ever censored in the whole movie. What they took out was his cigarette, they digitally edited out. You can see the difference here [url]

So are you really 100% sure they showed the uncensored version on Disney Family Movies? Because it seems so unlikely I would be willing to bet money on it.

With Melody time you can tell they did the absolute bare minimum with censorship. They only erased what they were ordered to erase. Peco Bill was the "hero" of his segment. The main, "good" character" so he lost his cigarette. Everyone else, even Little Toot's father "big Toot" got to keep his pipe. Even though he was good, he wasn't the main character.

They kept all the smoking they were allowed to keep

Is there a place where we can get the fully uncensored Melody Time in HD in canada ? If so, where ?

Thanks to answer

Please post this question in a different thread. This thread is related to whether Peter Pan was censored or not.

bumping this back up. I got the Signature Edition and the remaster is the same one as the 2016 Diamond Edition.
