What the hell is this, some sort of proto DeviantArt? The last image kinda reminds me of tumblr with the fat midget though.

They changed it in subsequent prints of this cartoon.


And re-animated it.

So there was a version of this where they just changed the Wolf's voice and left in him dressed like a Jewish peddler (I believe that version was available on an official release). Never saw the version where they changed it to the Wolf in a thin disguise (nor have I ever seen the original version where the Wolf was a full-on Jew, though that can be explained away with the fact that I wasn't born when that happened). Very nice find.

There were several ironically, one was a release Disney did about 20 years ago that was put out on Laserdisc I once had that featured the short with the Jewish peddler outfit and redubbed voice. I think this was the cover...

Later when the Disney Treasures DVD releases came out, the restored short was featured differently in and out of North America. For our release, it was the reanimated sequence and dubbed voice while the R2 PAL version (and perhaps a few other regions) had the original footage but redubbed voice. I'm thinking since Disney had to make a PAL transfer of these as well as their NTSC ones, they probably used a separate print for all other versions outside ours (unless that was a mistake, since Leonard Maltin made it sound like we should've gotten that version here too in the opening intro).

That was actually a fan-synced version taken from an actual recording. Apparently the UK got a CD release a while back that featured different Disney songs including Three Little Pigs using what sounds like 78prm records or whatever they could source that had the original line in.
