I'm 32 years old and can remember seeing "Song of the South" many times as a kid. To this day I still don't see what is wrong with the movie, it is VERY entertaining. I'm from the South (Texas to be exact) and I don't see anything racial about the movie. People must realize and remember how long ago the Uncle Remus books were written. Think of them as a History Lesson and not an epitath or slur. There is NOTHING wrong with reviewing and discussing our history as long as we don't repeat it. I sure do miss seeing Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear, and "Zip-pa-dee-do-da" is still one of my FAVORITE all time children's songs. SO DISNEY, PLEASE RE-RELEASE THIS WONDERFULLY CLASSICAL CHILDREN'S MOVIE. It woulld make a lot of us happy, especially if we could add it to our Disney Video Collection.

I wish Disney would re-release this video. I am thirty years old and remember watching the film numereous times as a young child. It was one of my favorite childhood movies. It also contained some of my favorite childhood songs. I think it is a disgrace that Disney would remove this movie from circulation due to pressure from a small minority. I think most people would find this movie entertaining and its a shame that the majority must be ignored to appease a small segment of the population. For anyone to say that this movie was racist is ridiculouos.

Please re-release Song on the South, It was the very best movie in the world.I am 56 years old, and I took my children when they were small, and they remember the film so well. I even still sing Zip a dee do da, to my grandchildren,Please who ever reads this at Disney, Please re-release this film.It is really a classic...Thanks,Diane

As a child this storybook was my absolute favorite. Memories of my grandmother reading these stories and sharing the lessons they taught are priceless. My favorite book is no longer with me and there seems to be no chance of replacing it. What a sadness that I cannot share these stories with my grandchildren, and the lost is felt by us all. I find it hard to believe that this literary treasure is being denied to countless people everywhere because some people with their narrow minds want to make something bad out of something as wonderful and loved as Uncle Remus's beloved stories. If we continue this type of censure it will not be long before many more literary works will be lost to us. The Executives of Disney, as well as others involved, are losing sight of the true spirit of this classic, as well as that of Walt Disney and what he stood for. Please stop this craziness and bring back Uncle Remus to us! We miss Brer Rabbit, and Brer Fox!

this is one of the top five movies of all time. I saw it as a child and am now 64. I remember the scenery and the songs vividly. There should be no reason why Disney cannot reissue this, at least on video. It is a wonderful story for children of all ages. This has always been my favorite. All the characters are wonderful. Please let Disney know how many people will be pleased if they open the vault and sell this again, at any price! I want my grandchildren to become acquainted with these characters. Thank you

Song of the South is one of the most influential movies that I saw as a child. It shows us how to be happy in a lot of different situations. To have a positive attitude. The minority group should be very proud of this movie because the stories Uncle Remus told were positive reflections of life.
This day and age we need more old stories of being happy in tough times. Please release this movie. It is a part of history that should not be hidden.

This was one of my favorite movies growing up now I don't remember it at all and would give anything to see it again. If any Disney Execs are reading this PLEASE RE-RELEASE SONG OF THE SOUTH. You have the right to. Many people want this movie again please re release it.

I asked Disney about releasing Song of the South again. They said it would NEVER be released again due to racial content. I have a hard time believing any African American would be upset with a beautiful story expressing solid values of right and wrong. The beauty and humor show off the wonderful gentleness of the elder black man, Uncle Remus, as he makes his stories come alive. What a Selfish act by Disney! Disney can never again claim the 1st amendment. Disney is doing everything possible to extinguish the artistic expression of free speech this movie so amazingly stands for. How wonderful to have Uncle Remus loved by all of us, no matter what the color of our skin is. How sad to have Disney run by narrow minded bigots hiding behind lame excuses blaiming the NAACP for causing this tragedy. They would not let anyone else keep them from making money with a video of a movie with an Academy Award winning song. Too Bad - they loose and we all loose. Free Speech takes a dive!

It started when I saw the Sing a long with Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. I wanted to find what move it came from but I never did. Later on Splash Mountain I found out that because a few people found one thing wrong with it, the next generation of youth can not enjoy it. I have never seen it but I do miss Brer Rabbit My favorite Character. If anyone from Disney Reads this please bring Back Song of the South.

I saw this many times as a child and it was my very favorite story and movie. I am now 59 years old, one of the first things I wanted to find when getting my first VCR, was my own recording of Song of the South, to share with my grandchildren. If any one knows of a way to get this marvelously educational and inspirational movie Please let me know. I had heard it was available out of our country but I can't find it. Please Micheal Eisner release it for our children.
