Censored Clock Cleaners on MMiLC Vol 1.

[Leviathan]

MY Birthday is coming up, and i'm trying to locate a tinned copy of the First Color Mickey Mouse on ebay (It's a little like trying to find a four-leaf-clover in a box of Lucky Charms, but i'm persistant), but one thing is seriously making me wnat to rethink my hitherto fruitless persuits: The Matter that one of the cartoons on the Set (Clock Cleaners) is censored. According to "the usual buzz", Two of Donald's lines are redubbed because the orignal lines sounded like profanity . Some have said that the change will probably go unnoticed if i don't look for it; others havbe said it's really badly done. Anyone who has this said,

How bad are the changes of Dialogue in Clock Cleaners and are they as intrusive as...

-The Removal of Pecos' Bill's Cigarette
- The Edits to the 3 Tom and Jerry Cartoons on the Spolight Collection
-The Redubbed Mammy on the redubbed T&J cartoons

It's minor. Disney replaced a few seconds of audio with audio from another cartoon because someone thought Donald Duck said something dirty. (He didn't.)

The only people who shouldn't get this DVD for that reason are the people who boycotted the Aladdin DVD because Disney removed the good tiger, take off and go line because it sounded to some like good teenagers, take off your clothes.

I believe the original audio (from Clock Cleaners, not Aladdin) is included on the Alice in Wonderland: Masterpiece Edition DVD as part of the vintage Walt Disney TV special.

I know this isn't on subject, but I didn't know there was a line edited in Aladdin. Is the old VHS version still have it on it?

If all fails in your quest to get a tinned version, you can still get a factory sealed DVD set, but without the tin, from any Region 4 DVD website. Chronological Donald, Mickey Mouse in Color Volume 2, and Silly Symphonies have also been released in Australia/New Zealand (but without the tins). I don't really know if they have all the same features, however, as I have bought all of the American Region 1 DVDs (and will continue to do so).

Plus, the line at the beginning in the song "Arabian Nights" was changed for home release:

Original version:
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

Changed version:
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

What's so 'barbaric' about heat? :mad:

I have a film shoot with the original dialogue.

Silly Symphonies, Mickey in Living Colour 1, Chronological Donald, and Mickey in Living Colour 2 have also been released in Region 2 (WITH the tins). Everything's present, though the Clock Cleaners edit is the same (replacing 'Sez you' with 'I'll get you'). They restored the original Three Little Pigs visuals to the Silly Symphonies set, though, but not the original sound.

That was the Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association who thought he heard Donald say a curse word. He then succeeded in getting Wal-Mart to remove all videos containing that short from their shelves and return them to Disney. This is the same guy who accused Mighty Mouse of sniffing drugs from a flower.

We have a similar nut case here in the Chicago area named Rev. Michael Flaeger who has nothing better to do than to lead futile crusades to 'clean' up our world...

People like that really need to get a life and stop speaking for others, but that's a thread for another day...
