Disney recently released a gorgeous Blu-ray of Fantasia, which I very much recommend. You might already know there were some racially insensitive parts which were censored from the 1940 film after its release (and thus are not included in any home-video versions). I’ve seen stills but never the actual animation; but, luckily, someone pieced together a video which restores those segments.I hope our modern-day, tender sensibilities can handle it.
Archivist’s Note: the Flash video at Daily Motion.com is unplayable. However, this YouTube video, in very nice quality, has all the relevant material:
Very good idea for the children to have these classic movies redone, the younger generation does not know any of the old movies as they are not shown any more.

Does it really make sense to buy a Blu Ray from a movie that was made 70 years ago? How better can they make it compared to DVD?
