Note: Stephen made a comment that this version of the Centaurette is in the film. And it's in my DVD as well. Frankly, I don't know what I was thinking about when I typed of the info in my database that this character was deleted from the film. You can see the strike-through corrections below. Now, I'm assuming that there is no difference between the DVD version of Fantasia and what appeared on the screen -- I'm just don't have that expertise.... Thanks, again, Stephen!
In the last posting, I put up a Centaurette pencil that didn't make it into the film.
There are some initials in the lower right -- if anyone has an idea as to the meaning, please let me know...

Nubian Centaurette Trading Pin
----- DATABASE NOTES -----
From “Fantasia” (1940), the Pastoral Symphony sequence. The graphite and colored pencil on paper drawing depicts a Nubian Centaurette holding a fan from The Pastoral Symphony sequence, a scene that was later deleted from the final version of the film, annotated "A15" "PROD 2004 SEQ 4.3 SCENE 25" "?THE?" Green in shadows. [Unframed 16-field] Acquired 2000. SeqID-0717 8/6/2005
My version of the Pastoral Symphony has this character in it. Plus another one on the left hand side; flanking Baccus on his donkey as he enters the scene. Unless they've gone the way of Sunflower in more recent DVD versions?
ReplyDeleteStephen....
ReplyDelete- My error.... I went back to my DVD and the image is there. I don't know what I was smoking when I wrote up the info in the database.
Thanks for the correction and I'll change the posting to reflect the correction.
