Disney isn't the only culprit... there are censored Warner Bros. cartoons as well, such as Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs:

Drives me nuts!
So many wonderful Looney Tunes gone simply because of the way characters were drawn or depicted. So stupid!

Oh, yeah...when I was a child, among the Popeye cartoons that the local TV station (OK, it was out of Joplin, Missouri, and I was in Bentonville, Arkansas) played in the afternoons was at least one of WWII vintage. I remember the closing line of a song from it ("You're a sap, sap, sap, Mr. Jap"), and I'm sure that it included very politically incorrect depictions of Japanese soldiers. I'm equally sure that they wouldn't dare show it on TV today.
