On the face of it, the Region 1 release is just about identical to the Region 4 except for the presence of the original mono soundtrack on the Region 1 release. So, it is very tempting to suggest that the Region 1 release is the preferred version, right? Wrong! Unfortunately, the Region 1 release has been censored to remove of all things the cigarette smoking of Pecos Bill in the short of the same name. This apparently is another one of Disney's misguided attempts to de-sensitise some of their earlier releases by removing supposedly offensive material. Since even the British Board of Film Classification is more broadminded than Disney (ye gods, the BBFC broadminded?????), the Region 2 and thus Region 4 releases are free of this insidious censorship. |
