Rating:  - Scene missing
I don't know about this being digitally edited as some other reviews have claimed but there is one verse edited out of the "Pecos Bill" segment. As I recall there was a scene in which Bill lights a cigarette by loading it into his gun and fireing it into his mouth. Perhaps Disney didn't want to encourage children to fire guns at thier faces. Though, a child would have to get a hold of a gun first.
Rating:  - EDITED DVD! Why is that not labeled?
I actually CAN believe Disney would do such a thing. However, it is not fair to those of us who wish to own these DVDs for nostalgic purposes. I would like to at least see Disney take accountability for their actions and label the DVDs/videos as altered or edited. This would prevent angered consumers and RETURNS!
ANYONE know which other DVDs have been edited? please e-mail to mcgeesalice@hotmail.com
Rating: - This DVD has been ruined by being edited.
With the DVD of "Melody Time," the editors at Disney have decided that their audience needs to be "protected" from "offensive" material. For example, they removed all smoking references.
Disney has a long history of altering it's products for DVD release, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that "Melody Time" has been edited.
Disney will not be getting my money for this, or for any other edited DVD.
Let's hope Disney never acquires the rights to the "Popeye" cartoons!
Rating: - I'm so disappointed!
I too, bought this video because I wanted to own these classic Disney cartoons from my childhood. How disappointing to find that they have become a victim of 'political correctness'. Disney has really lost the plot. I'm not sure I would recommend this video to anyone looking to own a piece of history but I suppose it might have some transient appeal to small children who have never seen the originals. I hope Disney considers re-releasing the original unedited versions of these cartoons (if necessary with a PG rating)for those of us who are capable of censoring our own viewing.
Rating: - Editing a cartoon? Gimme a break!
I'll admit that I haven't purchased this or the other apparantly edited Disney cartoons (for the sake of political correctness) I've read about (such as Melody Time, etc.) according to customer reviews here yet, but despite this, I'm disappointed, but still interested in getting them. However, I still wanted to voice my opinion on this. Like another customer implied, rate them, don't RUIN them! If it's necessary for a Disney movie to have a PG rating because of a few unacceptable things that were perfectly acceptable at the time it was made, what's wrong with that? I've very disappointed at Disney for this... Booooo! Hsssss! Boooo! Both my thumbs are down on this...
