to be corrected here,,, the show was called THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF
DISNEY, not DISNEYLAND. unless there was some off the cuff show that
disney sent to australia called DISNEYLAND. i think that show was
actually called SYDNEYLAND. appropriate, i think. :)

Interesting out of that list, Rich, that OLD YELLER which we can
add to it, was the only one I saw as a young child.
All the others I saw either in late teens or even later for the
first time. We also used to see them carved up in chunks/sequences
on DISNEYLAND in the early 60s. Periodically, I get the impression
that export version of DISNEYLAND was quite different to the US
domestic one. There seemed uncanny tie-ins to "specials" that
coincided with local Australian releases of new Disney product.

I think if you look at lots of Disney films, they have some overtly
violent contexts
Snow White: the Witch terrified children at the time and I have 2
cousins who to this day have not seen the film since they were
little girls and refused to let their children watch it when they
were youngsters
Bambi: the forest fire & a number of other scenes create wailing
children everytime it is screened
Peter Pan: death & destruction
Pinochio: oh c'mon, being swallowed by the whale in that terrifying
scene makes kids doody their pants.
and those are just some samples.

Maybe Unka Walt really hated children?
I'm sure audience testing went on back then for studio releases
specifically WDPs, and while OY is a "classic childrens film" you
would think that audience test responses would have indicated that
it was potentially a tad too traumatic for younger kids,
especially those with a mutt at home.
So either Walt was cackling with glee up the back of the previews
as the tots were reduced to wailing and sobbing, or thinking WELL,
IT'S GOOD FOR CHILDREN TO "LEARN ABOUT LOSS"..... AND PAY ME TO DO
SO.
Or as another well-known producer said privately in more recent
years, THERE'S A KID OUT THERE IN THE VALLEY WITH A DOLLAR IN HIS
POCKET, AND I WANT IT.

About 2 years ago, I finally put Old Yeller on t.v. I had been
telling my children about it for so many years and my now 11 year
old is a huge movie buff. We had to stop it at "the" part as she
was so upset. She vowed never to watch it again.

Perhaps second only to Old Yeller in heartbreaking pain.although I
can watch Penny Serenade and if I live to be 1,000 I'll never
watch Old Yeller again.
