Disney Censorship / Myth Comparison: Black “Slave” Centaurs in Fantasia (1940) Chuck Penn 3 2023-03-22 | The black “slave” centaurs appeared in five shots of the original release of Fantasia (1940). One of these shots was cut and the other four cropped or otherwise edited starting with the 1969 theatrical reissue. The 1990 50th anniversary theatrical release contained a further revision of how these shots were modified, as shown on the 1991 video premiere. Technology allowed for further changes for the 2000 DVD and 2010 Blu-ray releases as well, all of which are shown in this comparison with the corresponding footage from an uncensored Technicolor print (probably from the 1955 or 1963 reissue).

Yma Sumac’s performances in Secret of the Incas (1954) from 4K scan with enhanced color and sound Chuck Penn 3 2023-03-11 | This is a collection of Yma Sumac’s performances ("Virgin of the Sun God (Taita Inty)", "High Andes! (Ataypura!)", and "Earthquake (Tumpa!)") in Secret of the Incas (1954) taken from the 4K scan of the film with additional color enhancements and audio from the remastered edition of her Voice of the Xtabay (1950) album. The Capitol album was used as the prerecording to which Ms. Sumac performed on screen, though the audio of these sequences has always been substandard in the finished film soundtrack. I created this video to correct that sonic injustice and enhanced aspects of the video as well when compared to the Blu-ray of this scan released by Kino in 2023.I purposefully didn’t bring in the film’s dialogue and sound effects for the purpose of this compilation. On my final revised Blu-ray, I did revert to the film soundtrack for those moments.Here is a comparison of the video/audio between the commercial Blu-ray and my revision: youtu.be/3-7WeWuwwTU

VIDEO COMPARISON: Secret of the Incas (1954) 2022 Imprint Blu-ray to 2023 Kino Blu-ray Chuck Penn 3 2023-03-09 | The 2022 Imprint Blu-ray uses an older HD master from a film element showing some damage and misalignment of the Technicolor elements.

Testosterone Pellet Insertion (Feb. 2023) Chuck Penn 3 2023-02-26 | Performed at npmd.com by Armine (Amy) Tadevosyan, FNP and Gevorg (George) Adjian, RNThis was my second time doing this procedure. I edited it down to just show four pellets being inserted into one row, but I actually had three rows of four done (a total of twelve). They say the effects usually last 3-4 months, but for me it was closer to 6 months of energized bliss!
AUDIO COMPARISON: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Original Mono to 2006 Stereo Home Video Remix Chuck Penn 3 2023-02-24 | A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) was originally released in mono. It was remixed into Dolby Digital EX 6.1 for its 2006 Infinifilm DVD reissue, and this mix has followed the film onto all of its subsequent DVD, Blu-ray, theatrical and streaming releases.Several music cues or “stings” are missing entirely from the remix, along with some sound effects, and the balance of sound has been redesigned entirely; scenes that were moody and quiet are now loud, moments that had the score mixed low in the background now have the score blasting out all sound effects and even some dialogue.I’m hoping that this comparison might help bring attention to the issues with the current default stereo mix so that the original mono may be included on future releases and that some modifications be made to the current stereo mix (or it be reworked entirely) for the 40th anniversary in 2024 (and probable 4K reissue).Sources: The mono mix was obtained from the analog right channel of the 1996 Elite Entertainment THX LaserDisc release. The video and 2006 audio remix are from the 2010 Blu-ray release.#nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #audioremix #freddykrueger

Disney Censorship Comparison: Pecos Bill’s Cigarette in Melody Time (1948) Chuck Penn 3 2023-02-15 | Melody Time (1948) features a segment on the legend of Pecos Bill in which the character smokes throughout. The cigarette was digitally removed and a sequence of him rolling a cigarette on his tongue was cut when the film premiered on VHS in 1998, and the alterations remained on the 2000 DVD release. The European DVD release remained intact, just like the 1987 Japanese LaserDisc. The uncensored and uncut film wasn’t available on video in the US until the 2021 Blu-ray release.
