Fantasia

When I said Disney’s decision to edit their own films went back decades, i wasn’t kidding. At the same time, 1940’s Fantasia includes topless centaur ladies bathing, and that’s still there. However, for about three decades in the “Pastoral Symphony” sequence, there was a character known as Sunflower who was removed from the film’s 1969 theatrical re-release. While most of the centaurs are clearly coded white, and the women have long flowing hair. Sunflower had dark skin and kinky hair, and her non-human half was more donkey than horse. She’s clearly coded as Black in very unflattering ways. 50 years since her removal, Sunflower is still missing from Fantasia.
