Today In Disney History ~ November 11th
From IMDB:
The film premiered at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, a booking which had serious repercussions. The Music Hall’s Christmas stage show ran so long, whatever film premiered there had to be under two hours. After much debate, Disney cut the film down to 117 minutes rather than cancel the booking. After seeing the same thing happen to The Happiest Millionaire (1967) and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band (1968), the Sherman Brothers decided not to renew their contract with Disney. In 1995, Scott MacQueen, who headed Disney’s restoration department, discovered that two of the cut songs, “With a Flair” and “A Step in the Right Direction” were still on the soundtrack album and quoted throughout the underscore. When he learned the extent of the film’s edits, he persuaded Disney to reconstruct the longer cut.
