Review of Song of the South (1946) by Anthony V — 21 Mar 2008
This is a great Disney film.
I remember reenacting this in an elementary school play.
I believe this was the very first film to use animation with live actors and it worked very well. I loved this movie and the tales of Uncle Remus. I remember having a vinyl record and book for this movie and playing it over and over.
The reaction that this film drew about racism is ludicrous and mostly from people who love to point out things that aren't actually there. *cough Jessie Jackson cough cough*.
If you find this movie racist then you'd have to say some of the writings from Mark Twain were also. You must take into consideration the time, language and slang people used back then.
There is nothing in this film I find remotely racist considering the time in which it was set.
THE PERIOD IS CORRECT.
Political Correctness sickens me.
Stop the insanity now!
We can't change our past. We must address it with an open mind so we can move forward as a society.
I first saw this film when I was a child and found that all the characters were great.
Black or white had no meaning to me back then and watching this now brings back those memories (of ignorance if you want to call it that); Bliss.
Uncle Remus was NOT an Uncle Tom!
I'll kick your ass if you say so.
