Three Little Pigs (1933) - Jewish Peddler Scene (Original Version and 1948 Reissue Comparison)

Update for November 6th 2023: How is this getting views so fast? ._. I was bored so i decided to compare the Jewish Peddler scene (The original and 1948 reaimated versions) from Disney’s Silly Symphony “Three Little Pigs“ from 1933. One sequence in the cartoon which showed the Big Bad Wolf dressed as a Jewish peddler was excised from the film for its re-release in 1948 and was re-animated so the Wolf would be a Fuller Brush Man, albeit less offensive. A coat, glasses, and hat disguise also remained. This edit is made obvious by the fact that there is a notable difference in the quality of the original animation and the re-animated Fuller Brush Man sequence, with the new animated sequence having slightly less detailed background art than the original animation. Airings on American television have edited this further by using the original Fuller Brush Man footage and redubbing the Wolf’s voice so that he does not sound stereotypically Jewish. When the short was released on home video, the reanimated scene was used for this and all subsequent home video releases. The audio for the international releases stayed intact but used the original Fuller Brush Man scene.
