Song Of The South

Product Information

Walt Disney had wanted to produce a film based on the Uncle Remus stories for some time. In 1939 he began negotiating with the Harris family for the film rights, and in 1944, filming for Song of the South began. The studio constructed a plantation set, for the outdoor scenes, in Phoenix, Arizona, while other scenes were filmed in Hollywood. The film is predominantly live action, but includes three animated segments, which were later released as stand-alone television features. Some scenes also feature a combination of live action with animation. Song of the South premiered in Atlanta in November 1946 and the remainder of its initial theater run was a financial success. The song " Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Original Song [4] and Baskett received an Academy Honorary Award for his performance as Uncle Remus.

Let the Rain Pour Down": (downtempo) Written by Ken Darby and Foster Carling; performed by the Hall Johnson Choir In 2003, the Online Film Critics Society ranked the film as the 67th greatest animated film of all time. [90] See also There are many lessons to be learned about the divide between people (then and now)... but censorship is not one of them. This is a film that is worthy of viewing by all... followed by conversations that are centered around the gains that are still yet to come. Unlike so many of the depressing stories produced on film today, this one is golden and is filled with virtue.Trade show or Comic conventions are really big places to find tons of DVD's that are out of print, or have never been in print.

Jules wrote: milojthatch, do you think there is any chance for non-Americans to acquire this DVD? Maybe some obscure online retailer that happens to carry it?... This was the first time seeing the movie. I was surprised by how it ended. I thought it was a wonderful movie full of compassion. And the people who have seen this movie and still like to make false assertions that it's racist are people who watch it, with chips already planted in their shoulders and are trying to look for anything they can find to point to and say "it's racist". When it isn't. They don't realize that the NAACP 9 (An organization founded by white leftists, which has had a lot of crooked history - including giving Donald Sterling of all people 2 lifetime achievement awards.) made the declaration they made with ANY OF THEM HAVING SEEN THE FILM. To this day, the people who object the most about Disney releasing this film are people who have not seen this film. I grew up in different parts of the south and as such am very familiar with race relations in the area. I'm not gonna try to step on toes, but maybe point some things out you weren't looking for if you think this is more about unity than separation. The thing is, the harder they try to bury this movie, the more attention it receives. If they had just released the thing many years ago and slapped a "this is not PC" intro to it and then pulled it after just a year or so and then never released it again, it would have received a lot less fanfare and could have actually been buried a long time ago.

Song of the South - Spanish Import with Original English

I watched the film for the first time in the early 1950s. I saw it at least once more on television in the 1950s. I have never associated it with slavery. My focus was on the stories and how they were used as lessons for the children. To criticize the story for the dialect the people and animals use would be the same as criticizing books because the characters use a French, German, Irish, Scottish, etc. accent that the authors spell out phonetically. White's were slaves in Rome. Just as every ethnic group. Song of the South is a classic & is only racist to those that are racist. Slavery as tragic as it is, is a natural thing through out human history. Appreciating the work of countless Disney animators, musicians, and artists that worked on the this film and being aware of the fact that this film sanitizes a horrific reality to turn it into a musical fantasy are not mutually exclusive.That infectious earworm about looking up at the sunny side of life, composed by Allie Wrubel with lyrics by Ray Gilbert, earned a Best Original Song Academy Award, and remains a Disney favorite.

As Walt Disney Studios continues to roll out its vast library of titles on the Disney+ streaming service, one of them is missing, and it’s the 1946 Uncle Remus adaptation with confused racial optics. The Splash Mountain log flume ride, which opened at Disneyland in 1989, and at Tokyo Disneyland and Magic Kingdom in 1992, is based on the animated portions of Song of the South. As with the film, the ride had drawn controversy over the years due to the racial issues associated with the work. Amid the George Floyd protests in 2020, Disney announced that they will retool the ride in Disneyland and Magic Kingdom to remove the Song of the South elements and replace them with a concept based on Disney's 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. Disney stated that development of the project began in 2019. [85] The New York Times reported that Disney executives had privately discussed removing the attraction's Song of the South theme for at least five years, before putting into development the Princess and the Frog theme. [86] In July 2022, Disney announced that the new ride will be called Tiana's Bayou Adventure and will open in both parks in late 2024. [87] The Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain closed in January 2023, [88] while the Disneyland version closed in May 2023. [89] Markstein, Don. "Br'er Rabbit". Don Markstein's Toonopedia.

I keep reading on here about the MILLIONS of Poor AMERICAN slaves this movie insults... I have to wonder if those statements are made from ignorance or from a place of greed and malice? I finally talked the the gentlemen behind this particular DVD release of Song of the South. Due to my promise to him, he shall remain nameless, but I will share what he told me. First off, not surprisingly, this is not an authorized copy of the film. Second, this release is not just sold via the Uncle Remus Museum as an exclusive, but can be found all over Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama. Disney historian Jim Korkis, in his 2012 book Who's Afraid of Song of the South, alleged that White and June Blythe, the director of the American Council on Race Relations, were denied requests to see a treatment for the film. [11] When the film was first released, White telegraphed major newspapers around the country with the following statement, erroneously claiming that the film depicted an antebellum setting: RKO Pictures to Exceed Million in Prod.
