Song of the South - The whole movie

submitted by HenningKO

1 decade 5 years 3 months 1 week ago

If you're not aware of the legend around this movie:
In 1946, Disney released Song of the South, a mostly live-action movie with animated sequences based on fables by Joel Chandler Harris. It was a critical and financial success (though not astoundingly so), but the company never sold it on home video in the US for fear of racial insensitivity (the characters all talk in a sort of mock-antebellum-slave-speak caricatured by Harris, who was white; NAACP criticized the film for whitewashing former slave-master relations after the civil war; Uncle Remus, the narrator, is most definitely an Uncle Tom; and much more).
Nevertheless, it IS a classic Disney animated film, and if you're like me you'll want to see it for that reason alone.
Enjoy.

I saw this movie when it was released in theaters some time in the mid to late 80s. I thought it was good then and haven't changed my mind about it since. Great movie and great sift!

Nice find. Now if Choggie had posted this, he would have been flamed I bet.
