Yup.  When Disney released Fantasia on tape and disc, it was advertised as 
the original version.  But it was not!  There were 10 seconds of footage 
deleted from the Centaurs short.  I do have another version of the movie that 
is completely intact...it is interesting to "A-B" the two to see exactly what 
was cut.  Pretty strange.  I wouldn't consider what was cut to be offensive 
at all.

I'd definitely agree with this.
