Hollywood itself is a Politically Correct Hack Job. Boycotting a DVD because they took out something considered Racist will do no good. There are a lot of Disney Films that have been edited on DVD for various reasons. "Saludos Amigos!" was edited to take out Goofy's Cigarette Smoking. "Make Mine Music" has the entire segment "The Martins and the Coys" taken out because it's got a lot of Gunfire and Shooting and is considered too violent.
And it's not just Disney, it's other studios too. Warner Brothers put some disclaimers on their Looney Tunes DVD's in regards to Racism, but even they aren't Brave enough to re-release cartoons like "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips", "Bushy Hare" or "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs".
Boycotting does nothing and it won't send any message to the Hollywood Bigwigs. I don't agree with Censorship, but there's always going to be some Liberal Nut-Job who thinks they know what's best for the country at large and will control what you see. They won't change their mind because a handful of people won't buy their product.
As for the most recent Fantasia / Fantasia 2000 DVD, I would suggest getting it if you don't already have Fantasia in your Video Library. It's a Classic film and the Politically Correct Edit does nothing to detract from it. The Remastering is otherwise Masterfully done with incredible Color, Clarity and Sound.
I just bought it recently and have no regrets.

Sorry, until there's a complete version of the film as it was originally intended, I'm holding onto my money.
