Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Purchasers of Disney's "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," the second volume of the company's Sing Along Songs series, may discover that not everything is as "satisfactchull" as it could be with this tape--it all depends on why you're buying it. If you've sought out the video because of a sentimental devotion to the musical the title tune is taken from, Song of the South, then you're bound to be disappointed. Disney's undying efforts to make nice have spilled into this segment (the first of a nine-song package), and all is sanitized so that the original film's disconcerting depictions of then-de rigueur racial inequality cause no modern-day discomfort. But that's not to say the scene of Uncle Remis strolling a hummingbird- and butterfly-lined road and singing his song isn't a sure-fire mood-lifter, or that it doesn't succeed in its mission, which is to jog joyful childhood memories. And it is the only way to see any of the film on video; Disney has no plans to ever release the controversial film. In fact each of this collection's numbers (all ingrained collectively on a generation now raising its own kids), aims to knead adult viewers' nostalgic sides (presumably part of a strategy to perpetuate Disney die-hards). Especially effective are Cinderella's "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," the Davy Crockett series' "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," and Snow White's "Whistle While You Work." --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original Song of the South, June 20, 2002
I agree with the other customers who think the original movie should never have been taken off the market. There are so MANY movies out that children should never see, but not this one. This movie shows how a little white boy CAN be friends with a black person. How a black man CAN be a positive influence on a white child. There's so much hate in this world that you would think that Disney would want to promote any kind of positive relationship between different types of people they could.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic movie that Walt would have kept available., January 8, 2002
It's a shame that Walt spent so much of his energy making bold leaps forward when the current incarnation of his company spends so much of it making bold setbacks.

Disney, the corporation, has seen it fit to erase portions from our history books, as witnessed with Pocahontas, and deprive children of all ages an imaginative and entertaining document of our past. And for what? In hopes of forgetting a disgraceful moment in our countrys collective past? Ironic that they would appear to be halting relations rather than continuing to improve them. This is an intelligent look at conflicts that existed within our nation long ago and should be made available to the public for its immense importance on social class during a time when our nation was just getting its legs and figuring out who we were and who we wanted to become. The Song of the South, is an honest representation of a time and place. The movie is handled with delightful alacrity towards its subject matter and possesses a charm unmatched by anything the company has released in it's new age.

Children are often better judges than we, as witnessed in the movie. So, do as Walt did and let us all be your audience, once again, Disney, and not just wrongly embarrassed old fools. But, for the time being, I ask you, stay out of my local library, please. I wouldn't want you erasing away their editions of, Mark Twain, or, Harriet Beecher Stowe.
