Dear Disney, please restore controversial scenes in upcoming Fantasia Platinum DVD/BD (1 Viewer)

I also would love to have the Kostal Soundtrack as an alternative.

Count me as another who would. My first encounter with Fantasia in a theater was the reissue that used Kostal's rerecording of the score with some of the other alterations. I never saw Fantasia with the original score, introductions, etc. until the big box laserdisc release.

I just found a trailer for the upcoming Blu-ray release of Fantasia and even though they tried to make the original Stokowsky sounding better, it is still limited in high frequencies.

Please!!! Disney... bring us the Irwin Kostal soundtrack as we enjoyed in theaters in the early 80's For many of us, that is the unique theater experience that we would like to reproduce in our home cinemas. As for the original Stokowsky audio soundtrack, let it be mono and untouched for purists. Make everybody happy!

Sorry about that. When I saw the heading of "2000" I thought it was a year 2000 version.
