Some interesting things were brought up in the discussion that Zemekis and the at least some knew of the "naughty jokes," and how the original creator of Betty Boop traditionally used to have a few frames of her topless. This is where DVD (and LD) as mediums have probably influenced...

bird-flippage... Oh, you're making me laugh (in a good, "thank you," kind of way). Seriously, can we go back to arguing about something really important, like the blurred pubic area in Mulholland Drive? :D Mark

Can't we all just get along? ;) Seriously though...lots of things do slip by, even in animated films. One only needs to look at the naked woman in The Rescuers for evidence of this. That shot is reminiscent of the Betty Boop and exposed Jessica shots, which leads most rational people to...

I agree with the principle behind those who argue that say they are not buying this DVD because the art has been modified in a way that seems contrary to the original creators' intentions: The Baby Herman scene was pretty clear to me in the theater, and I doubt that Zemekis didn't know...
