Appreciating the work of countless Disney animators, musicians, and artists that worked on the this film and being aware of the fact that this film sanitizes a horrific reality to turn it into a musical fantasy are not mutually exclusive. Although the disc presentation and cover are very nice, the movie is a low quality PAL to NTSC conversion running 90 min 26 sec. The NTSC versions from MayanCastle and even my own conversion from a years ago PAL British broadcast look much better.dvdjunkie wrote:A good friend of mine in California, went to the San Diego Comic-Con last year and said that there were tons of movies that have never seen the light of day in any form of video, Bets, VHS, DVD or whatever.

If they had just released the thing many years ago and slapped a "this is not PC" intro to it and then pulled it after just a year or so and then never released it again, it would have received a lot less fanfare and could have actually been buried a long time ago.

https://classicmoviesetc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Song-of-the-South-Uncle-Remus-Brer-Rabbit-Tale_1920x1080.mp4 This movie is a warm, fuzzy comfort for some of us. It does gloss over the social upheaval, bitterness and devastation that slavery imposed on all of us forever. But the movie is not about history. It’s a series of morality tales depicted so well through animation, live acting and music. I watched the film for the first time in the early 1950s. I saw it at least once more on television in the 1950s. I have never associated it with slavery. My focus was on the stories and how they were used as lessons for the children. To criticize the story for the dialect the people and animals use would be the same as criticizing books because the characters use a French, German, Irish, Scottish, etc. accent that the authors spell out phonetically.This is a great movie for the whole family. They certainly do not make them like this anymore. This a a part of our history and there is no reason why we should not be allowed to see the good, bad and the ugly for ourselves. But I assure you that there is nothing here that you need to censor for your kids. Just healthy family values but seen from another time. This movie is a true masterpiece of its time. This groundbreaking movie artfully melds the realms of animation and live-action. It’s a charming tale that has captivated generations. It has unforgettable characters, enchanting music, and timeless life lessons. This is not just any DVD; it’s a piece of Disney history that has been preserved for collectors and fans alike.

[74] [75] Cultural historian Jason Sperb describes the film as "one of Hollywood's most resiliently offensive racist texts". [76] Sperb, Neal Gabler, and other critics have noted the film's release as being in the wake of the Double V campaign, a propaganda campaign in the United States during World War II to promote victory over racism in the United States and its armed forces, and victory over fascism abroad. [77] Early in the film's production, there was concern that the material would encounter controversy. Disney publicist Vern Caldwell wrote to producer Perce Pearce that "the negro situation is a dangerous one. Between the negro haters and the negro lovers there are many chances to run afoul of situations that could run the gamut all the way from the nasty to the controversial."

There have also been episodes for the series produced for the Disney comic books worldwide, in the U.S., Denmark and the Netherlands, from the 1940s up to 2012. [84] Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox also appeared frequently in Disney's Big Bad Wolf stories, although here, Br'er Bear was usually cast as an honest farmer and family man, instead of an antagonist in his original appearances. Without spoiling too much, I enjoyed the animation, the acting was fine and the ending pleasantly surprised me. What a sweet story for the time it was made. For those that unfairly call it racist who was the hero and main character?
