Song of the South - The whole movie
tags:
Stumble ThisIf 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.
