Disney Short Busted


Before re-releasing their 1989 short Knick Knack and attaching it to their release of Finding Nemo, Disney and Pixar virtually eliminated the breasts of two female characters, a mermaid and a plastic bunny, USA Today observed today (Wednesday). "In the original, the girls have breasts the size of large grapefruit," animation fan Raymond Tucker of Greensboro, N.C. told the newspaper. "In the new version, the breasts just aren't there." Animation historian Jerry Beck added: "These films need to be treated like classic films, not kids' fodder."

Isn't Knick Knack on one of the other Pixar dvds?

So the breasts are smaller...who the f cares? It still gets the point across.

I hate it when people make a big deal out of nothing.

Exactly. Everybody in the theater both times I've seen the movie enjoyed the short how it was.

Besides...it's been about 14 years.

Wouldn't that account for the shrinkage..?

Honestly, it surprised me that they did this, but it doesn't really bother me. Those people quoted in the USA Today article seem a little bit too enthusiastic about the cartoon bosoms. Though they did change them from like triple D to flat as a board. There might have been some happy medium to reach.

Nonetheless, the short is good, with or without massive mammaries.

No big tits = no sale!!

If you want to see the original version its one of the frames on the TV in Toy Story 2 when the pig is flipping through the channels.

The funny thing is, if you've seen the short, it's honestly better without the triple D boobs.. they look bad.. the exaggeration was probably part of the joke, but they're like the size of her head!

Well just to air a different point of view. I could not care less about Disney. I am interested in how Pixar feels about this situation. And to be fair, it is Disney making a big deal out of nothing by changing a minor detail. I am guessing, to pre-empt someone from complaining about being offended by the image. This is what leads Disney to make bland, unimaginative movies. They are more worried about who might take offense, than they are making good films. With this timidity they better hope Pixar re-signs or there reputation as an animation leader will be a thing of the past.

Funny how we all assume that Disney re-did the short, because Disney is the devil.

The original blurb says Disney and Pixar redid the short....and I'm pretty sure all the tech work was done at Pixar.

Ahem. That is Hamm.

the pig... sheesh.

...while Mickey had a to the tech's head.

I am guessing the top one is the uncut version?

i'm thinking they both are..

Yes, both of the gals got their boobs deflated for the revised short being played in front of Finding Nemo.

Hmmm, I have seen that short before... Could it be on the Ultimate Toy Box dvd, or possibly the Toy Story boxed set Laserdisc??

At the version I saw, I saw some cleavage, if someone has screenshots from the finding nemo version, that would be helpfull.

so anyone have the NEW pics?

That's the big frickin' deal?

Wow, way to blow something out of proportion. Which, oddly enough, Pixar did in the 1989 version.

Hey, it's not that bad. Not censorship. Not black stereotypes being excised from Tom & Jerry. Not even Buzz threatening to throw Woody out of the window first. Give it a rest...

... also, the short appeared in its original form on the Pixar shorts compilation VHS, "Tiny Toy Stories", which appeared right after Toy Story.

anychance on one of the toy story ue's.

I don't think that the change has any effect on the short. You still get the point either way.

What the hell am I supposed to whack off to? The f***in' fish?

Funny. I've never seen the short before, but while watching it before Nemo last weekend, the brief internal comment of "gee, those are pretty flat" passed my mind.

Now I don't feel quite so bad!
