Song Of The South; anybody remember it?
I do, and I loved it as a kid. Not all like it, though. It has been banned in the US for quite a while, due to the slavery depicted in the film. I, for one, think that Uncle Remus was one of the finest men, ever. What a kind and gentle spirit he had. If anything, he proved that slavery diminished only those who used the chains, not those in chains. Anyway, I'm a whitey, so my opinion on this certainly doesn't hold much weight.
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

And I believe in you

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

I do in fact remember the film although I can't ever remember liking it in any strong way. My favorite childhood Disney film was the Jungle Book. Scenes and songs from Song of the South have routinely appeared on Disney sing along songs tapes and clip shows.

Whatever you do Brer Fox,just please don't throw me in that briar patch!
Great movie, and it hasn't been banned. It's available for sale all over the 'net. As Disney likes to do, it cycles their films in and out of print on home video, and it's currently out of print. There's supposed to be a 60th anniversary release this Fall.
Last time I saw it was in 1986 when it was theatrically rereleased.

I used to work in video retail and Disney is well know for limited releases. They release a film for a period of time, up to 2 years I think, and then they pull it back. Years later they will reissue the film, but with something different either in content or packaging. First editions are worth more than reissues. Really what Disney is doing is creating an artificial collectors market.

I downloaded it off the web a few years ago.
Um... are you sure you people who are saying it's a good movie really remember the movie very well
It bored me to tears and I'm a big Disney fan (DVC Member too).
And the great "zippedy do-da" song isn't until the very end if I remember correctly.
Now, Splash Mountain, on the other hand, kicks butt!!
You'll being singing that song for the rest of the day after that ride.
I love DisneyWorld.
