We actually run it frequently! IMO it's a sweet story depicting the friendship of a young boy and an older man. I see far more politics and moments of personal discomfort in the war films Disney produced at the time, too.Tinker Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735289661082929269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-1154783874561056232006-08-05T06:17:00.000-07:002006-08-05T06:17:00.000-07:00AMEN!

Speaking to Kevin and Jody, the artists for Disney Direct, the decision to make the merchandise was tied to the film being released on DVD and only after production had started did they receive information that Disney was not going to release the film. I feel if they can release the war cartoons that are anti-Japanese, then they can release Song of the South.Matterhorn1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/07140583153080149244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-1154755241571256012006-08-04T22:20:00.000-07:002006-08-04T22:20:00.000-07:00The company has always seemed more at ease with th...The company has always seemed more at ease with the cartoon segments of "Song of the South", with the exceptional characters, animation and backgrounds. It's the sugary depiction of post-slavery plantation life that makes them squirm. I have to admit that it makes me squirm a little too, but that does not mean that I want this film to be "buried" forever. People should be able to watch this 60 year old film, and yes, criticize it if they want. Unfortunately Disney has shown an ever-growing tendency to self-censor.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
