5.0 out of 5 stars DON'T TAKE AWAY MY LAUGHING PLACE!, April 7, 2000
By Karol Colbert (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
Like everyone else mentioned in previous reviews, I grew up with Uncle Remus. I remember the wise lessons Uncle Remus taught through Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear. It had been 25 years since I first saw the movie and was fortunate to obtain a converted copy. What I saw was a wonderful wise old man who loved children. I saw a small, frightened boy who came to love Uncle Remus. What I failed to see were racist remarks or portrayals. Slavery was part of our history. It was wrong. What Disney beautifully portrayed was a rich, white boy who called slaves and a share cropper's daughter his friends while purposfully avoiding the other rich white little children invited to his birthday party. Since when is it considered racist to have children of different races and economic backgrounds holding hands and playing peacefully together. Wasn't that Dr. King's dream? Please bring back Song of the South and allow future generations to find their "Laughing Place".

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy, heart-warming and not the least bit offensive!, May 4, 2000
By Charles M. Cornell (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved this movie as a child, and was finally able to find a copy in Europe. When I viewed it, I couldn't understand why Disney has caved in to social pressure over the 'offensive' content. The whole movie overflows with warmth and happiness and understanding, and if the Old South setting bothers some, they need to get over it. History is history, and to deny the positive message of this touching happy film is just tragic. The animation is UN-believable in how the characters mix in with the live-action! The song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" is a classic, and the characters of Uncle Remus, Brer Bear, Brer Fox, and Brer Rabbit deserve to be discovered by a new generation! I hope Disney goes forward with plans to release the film on video and DVD; it is well overdue!

5.0 out of 5 stars Song Of The South, July 22, 2001
By Mike Franklin (Prattville, AL. USA) - See all my reviews
Our world is changing everyday. It is so good to go back and see some classics and enjoy the innocence of their day. "Song of the South" is one of them. I saw this in a theater as a child and loved the stories, music, and history. This is truely one of Disney's greatest feature. I am a DVD collector. I love to collect such classics like Disney (before the political correctness) and admire the devotion of the film makers.

I have heard that Disney will never release this in the States because of the controversy of the subject matter. That really bothers and distrubes me. Knowing that they make (in my opinion) distrubing features and release them to the public tells me that they are ignoring historial (fictional) story lines, and trying to develop inappropriate behavior for our children in the future.

Maybe Disney will get the hint and release it. This is no black eye to them but an acheivement because it is one of the first if not the first to have interactions between animation and live actors. This movie should be available to the public. I know that it is admired by many. I happen to be one of them.
