Fortunate enough to have bought the movie when released on VHS in the UK. Agree it should be released, with a disclaimer, so people can make up their own mind about the movie
What is a mistake Zach? Walt making a movie featuring BLACK actors with TALENT based on stories from BLACK AFRICAN culture?
And what was the situation really in the south after reconstruction – I think none of us were there so we really don’t know – but we can adopt the most horrific versions of re-constructionist history -which of course the terminally offended do. OF COURSE ALL slavery was and IS immoral not just black slavery. Walt was making a kids movie – not a documentary. If you cannot distinguish between the two – you’re a mental case.
I am glad I have the movie it’s a great one .and I don’t think it should be took out of splash mountain .and I don’t think the princess and frog should not be in splash mountain .that’s racist to white people
ReRelease, by all means. Most of the neysayers, I would say have not seen the movie and really have no idea what the movie is really about.
I have a copy, and am proud of it!
Remember this In 1947 James Baskett(1904-1948)was given a Special Academy Award for his part in Disney’s “Song Of The South”. He was the second American of African decent to recieve an Academy Award. Baskett was also the first American of African decent hired by Disney. Walt disney was an imaginary genius, was something and went with. People need to wake up to this world, everyone in there mind sees what they want to see, I think every movie disney made was great, and you don’t see that in movies anymore. Walt took chances on his ideas, both parks were great ideas, everyone trys to copy disney ideas. Release song of the south and stop pressuring everyone into everyone other thoughts. Think for yourself
I remember the movie as a child and how it made me think that Uncle Remus was a wise man and someone I’d like to know. I enjoyed the stories he told about Brer Rabbit, Fox, and Bear and loved the song primary song. Is the movie perfect? No but neither are people.
I would love to see it return. As a kid, I adored uncle Remus and has an adult. I respect the actor’s Amazing job in portraying the character. Even as a child, I recognized the message that education does not equal intelligence because uncle Remus was the wisest character in the story. He deserves to have his work celebrated, not erased
Yes would love a rerelease preferably on Blu-ray with disclaimer , if considered necessary . I have copy from way back but would love to see the colours updated onto Blu-ray . Is a film of its times but we should be allowed to make up our own adult minds, or we’re heading towards the 30’s book burning days
I think it should be re released for sure. It was a part of my childhood and it’s history right or wrong or inaccurate, it’s history and that should not be forgotten.
I am firmly a 1st Amendment advocate. Hiding this film is the wrong approach. Teaching that it incldes stereotypes is what should happen. It’s no more offensive than Shirley Temple dancing with Bill Robinson or any number of stereotypes in Our Gang, Little Rascals films.

This is a great children’s movie. I still sing zippidy do da when I am feeling good.
The characters are benign
and the movie displays the power of wisdom.
