sunflower: the disney charecter that never exhisted

When the Disney film Fantasia was first released back in 1940 there was a character that was a female black centaur that performed menial tasks for white blond centaurs. This character was a typical racist stereotype of the 1940's. But if you watch the movie now, no such character exists. Disney denied the existence of this character for years whenever asked about it. It wasn't until images of the character came to surface recently that Disney owned up to it. Her name was Sunflower.
