Looks like someone will just have to find the original film with the red opening card to make sure the re-issue was not changed in some fashion. What did they do with the scene, which used to play in the 1960 and 1970's on TV during MGM cartoon broadcasts?

Paul,
I think people are asserting that the missing scene in question never actually existed. I have not seen it personally, but that is no proof one way or the other. :)

It doesn't exist. Let's put this lame B.S. to rest. I'm sure the troll who started it had a good laugh, but let's move on.

chas,

"The troll who started this thread" was our reviewer Ken McAlinden. :)
He's certainly no troll, and we won't lay this thread at rest.

The topic of the non-existing scene, however, has been fully cleared up, I suppose, and can be closed indeed.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have friends in Michigan's upper peninsula who call me a troll since I live below the Mackinac Bridge. :)

I also saw the original theatrical version of Droopys Good Deed in Providence RI in the 80's on an NBC affiliate station. The opening of the cartoon showed the RED Leo title card and the body of this print was different than other copies. The negro women was shown with red dress and all leaving the burning cabin in spikes arms.
