In view of the foregoing, it is time to finally acknowledge that the Uncle Remus stories told in “Song of the South” represent a cache of insightful, heart-warming African-originated literature. Thus, if any legitimate complaint is to be made about this film, it should be that Joel Chandler Harris [who authored the Uncle Remus stories] appropriated this remarkable achievement for his own profit. On the other hand, if he had not done so, this extraordinary contribution to our culture by Black Americans might have been lost forever. And then there’d be no song to sing at all. Additional
The Left has brought him back, only now they spell it: Uncle Ream Us!
Once they closed Splash Mountain, it was apparent that they have lost their minds and it would be futile to engage.
I really don’t care if they want to ban/boycott Gone With The Wind, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, To Kill A Mockingbird or any other book with a black protagonist. They are lunatics, best to just get out of their way while they soil their own nest.
I was fortunate enough to take my son when he was about 6 or so to see Song of the South at a local theater in the late 80’s which was the last time Disney released it for general viewing. I can even remember Disney showing it on The Wonderful World of Color back in the early 60’s even though we only had an old B&W Westinghouse TV.
As I read recently, Disney removed “Zip-e-dee-doo-dah” playing on Main Street in D-land. “Song of the South” is a sweet movie for all ages. I haven’t seen it since I was a little kid, but I remember it well.
Disney execs could spend their time more fruitfully by turning out movies that people would actually like to see. Like, fr-instance, Song of the South.
Frank Zappa has a fantastic song called Uncle Remus.
Anyone who has a VHS or DVD copy of Song of the South could make a fortune making and selling bootleg copies. I’d buy one.
Zippity doodah
Saw it as a kid. When I was an undergrad (62 – 59 years ago) Zip a Dee Do Da was a minor pop hit in Cal. I know not the artist. But we all sang it as was side stepped dog shit.
I you did not understand DIS had gone woke when they made a movie calling Walt’s hero a “White nationalist” 25 years ago; you should have got it when Disneyland banned the song 2.5 years ago. I was/am very happy THE ALAMO lost $hundreds of millions!
Disclaimer
As a 6th grader I got for Christmas a Davery Crockett rifle. Years ater I found out that my wife got a Coonskin car when she was a 4th grader. We both are Walt fans That is the same a being a Ronny man. Does not mean we like either DIS or GOP!
Unfortunately, it seems “Song of the South” is destined to become a lost cinematic treasure. They don’t even have the guts to hold it up for mockery or ridicule. They just want it to disappear completely.
Just another victim in the leftist mass-murder of our history & culture.
Some day it will be the evil conservatives that kept homosexuals for slaves.
I really have nothing against the blacks, I think everyone should own one.
