The rasist joke mentioned in the article was taken out a few years, then put back in (depending on the political climate, i guess). The editing is also quite different some years to accomodate the length of the trailer(s) for the latest Disnye/Pixar releases.Magnushttp://www.chottomite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-22820313966976813952009-12-28T04:26:56.346-05:002009-12-28T04:26:56.346-05:00And Denmark... and Norway!

I was just thinking of "March of the Wooden Soldiers" yesterday and sort of miss the magical appeal it had back thne. No doubt it would not fare well in the world of Avatar's children. "From All of Us to All of You" was so familiar back then that I sort of resented the fact that they didn't update it. Unfortunately, they eventually did do just that, and the gem from the past is all but gone - except in Sweden.Michael Spornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018522723674960270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-84635579482962269972009-12-22T23:34:28.835-05:002009-12-22T23:34:28.835-05:00I always loved "From All of Us to all of You&...I always loved "From All of Us to all of You" when it played almost every Christmastime on Disney's Sunday night show during my youth. Happily, from 1978 onwards when I had my first VCR, I was able to tape it whenever it ran. While the NBC version at 7 PM would only run a new film excerpt as the "special gift" if Disney had a new Christmas release (otherwise they would run a short cartoon), CBC at 6PM would often run shows that had been originally broadcast years before. Therefore I was able to get the shows that were promoting "The Jungle Book" and "The Aristocats" years after those films had debuted. Keeping in mind that this was well before these films were eventually released on home video, having some clips was pretty exciting!Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-82988001895106513512009-12-22T14:24:33.792-05:002009-12-22T14:24:33.792-05:00I've heard about this before.

I actually wish Disney would play stuff like that here in the States. <br /><br />Very interesting article by the way. However, I do take offense at what the writer calls "antiquated animation". Those cartoons are as fun and vibrant today as they've ever been.Eric Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872046921674512158noreply@blogger.com
