Walt Disney's Song of the South Opening & Ending Credits + Zip A Dee Do Dah

[1f5sda]

I don't care what type of race I am or what type of ethnic background I have. All I care about is being human and being treated as a human in a PROPER manner. It is so ANNOYING that a lot of people claim that Uncle Remus as racist. This film takes place in a post Civil War world for crying out loud. Uncle Remus was a NICE and loveable man who enjoyed telling stories to his friends and family members (although we don't see them) and like many Disney fans, I enjoy this film A LOT.

[HDorochimaru]

the ending song never fails to jerk my heart

[jamajo78]

This is so racist. Who ever made the comment about learning about black people from this film... please never say that out loud especially if you are in the company of black people. It's a shame that Hattie and James had to waste their talent pretending to me domicile imbeciles to make white people feel comfortable with them. That is why this film is racist.

[lasvegasdaril]

It is currently available on dvd for $13.00 The original unedited Version  and yes it does play on usa american dvd players. go to ioffer.com

[TwilightLink77]

They won't released the film on dvd or blue ray yet they made a ride based off the film weird.

[xisomorphicx]

Man, I want to see this movie so badly. One of these days, I'm going to splurge and buy it from ebay.

[mrjakelong]

Song of the South is a great movie

Thank you for the upload

[bartsimpson83]

I first saw this movie when a cool old guy I work with gave me a copy. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest pieces of work Walt Disney ever did. What people today don't understand is that at the time this film was made, the Uncle Remus stories were beloved by millions. This was pretty much the Harry Potter of its day. For what it's worth, someone at Disney did say recently that they are going to release it, but they're still trying to figure out how to do it properly.

Everyone thinks Who Framed Roger Rabbit was groundbreaking as it contained animation in a live action movie. This film came out in the 40s and it contained both live action in an animated world AND animation in a live action world. How has everyone forgot about this completely groundbreaking film?

[LoreneFaith]

@rosserm11 It is a shame that this wonderful film with two of the most talented black performers of the time has been so over looked because it has been labeled as racist. This is just ignorance and is an insult to James Baskett and Hattie McDaniel. Thank you for your comment.

[boffinme80]

@rosserm11 Don't forget Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks which came out in the 60s.

[rosserm11]

@boffinme80 But this came out in the 40s!

[boffinme80]

@rosserm11 Yeah? And Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out in the 80s. I'm just naming other Disney films that had live action and animation.

[LemonCurdAddict1234]

@rosserm11 Yeah, imagine.... Roger Rabbit VS Brer Rabbit - who would win?

[HenryConway007]

@rosserm11 “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was groundbreaking because it was the first time anybody ever believed that they existed together. Watching this, I expect the damned bluebird to just fall right through his shoulder.

[HenryConway007]

@rosserm11 If you need proof, just look at the scene where Roger and Eddie are handcuffed together. You believe that they are handcuffed. Had they tried to do that in this film, it would’ve been laughable.

[JoelandtheBots]

James Baskett recieved an honorary Oscar for his portrayal of Uncle Remus. Disney should be ashamed of themselves for disrespecting his memory.

[LoreneFaith]

@JoelandtheBots How have they disrespected his memory?

[JoelandtheBots]

@LoreneFaith By refusing to show this film, they're not allowing others to see WHY he deserved so much recognition, especially in a time that would have been hard pressed to show it to an actor of color. They're basically sweeping him under the rug with this film.

[LoreneFaith]

@JoelandtheBots I totally agree with you on that Joe. I don't understand how this wonderful movie could ever be banned and yes it is disrespectful of James and Hattie too! Fortunately there are those who have made this film available to those who really want it in spite of the ban.

[TheGigime]

I will say, back when this was new, I wish it wasn't opposite to times then. Uncle Remus, the character that played him at least, didn't get to sit and see the grand release. But the stories, from what I understand, were old folklore of black plantation slaves. While Disney was cruel enough to give them a "good" up grin, least they made it so even these beloved old stories weren't forgotten :)

[LoreneFaith]

@TheGigime I totally agree. These wonderful stories should be kept alive for new generations of children to enjoy.

[zas31190]

Best ending ever in a Disney film.

[happels]

This movie is 65 years old this year, and it should be re released.... I am 43 years old now, and haven't seen it since it was re released in the early 1970's..... I had the record album too.... It was a landmark film.

[LoreneFaith]

@happels It certainly was a landmark film.

[happels]

Loved this movie, haven't seen it since it was re-released in the early 1970's... I had the record album too.... It shouldn't be banned..... It actually starred a man of color, in a mainstream movie in 1946.... It should be honored....

[LoreneFaith]

@happels I totally agree. It is a dishonor to the wonderful actor James Baskett who portrayed Uncle Remus not to declare this film as the brilliant movie that it was. James as well as Hattie and many others paved the way for other black actors and actresses in the years to come.

[1f5sda]

@articzoo That would be COOL!

[1f5sda]

This film is not racist! This film is about a nice African-American man who love to tell funny stories to kids that he loves hanging out with. I just think that the NAACP is taking things WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. I mean I have NOTHING against the NAACP, I just think that the NAACP should just stop whining about this film whether people think that Uncle Remus is so-called "racist." I disagree that this film is racist.

[LoreneFaith]

@1f5sda I am in agreement with you. It is not respectful of those of color who had to endure this part of history and to those actors and actresses who were in the entertainment industry to call this film racist. It is a beautiful movie.

[1f5sda]

@LoreneFaith Thank you!

[LoreneFaith]

@1f5sda Your welcome and thank you for expressing your opinion :)

[1f5sda]

@LoreneFaith You are welcome!

[KiCreativeStudio]

@1f5sda I think the NAACP said the film "sugar-coated" this period when film was first released. I think at THAT time, they were being more vigilant about protecting Black American images. MAYBE, maybe they might feel different about it today. (Especially preserving it for history's sake. Disney needs to make an "under the table" contribution to the NAACP and get their support on re-releasing this movie.)

Get their stamp of approval and this movie will be on DVD like tomorrow.

[TheFlicker98]

Disney Release this movie on Blu Ray & DVD Combo now!!!!

[neoprankster]

I feel that Disney should reissue this film, and let us, the movie-watching public decide for ourselves wether this film is racist or not.

[LoreneFaith]

@neoprankster I agree. I personally do not see it as racist but then I am not looking at it from the black perspective. This movie highlights some of the greatest talents of black america at that time.

[jamajo78]

@LoreneFaith Thanks for acknowledging that you were not looking at it from a black person's perspective. That makes a big difference. I do agree that there was great talent here despite the circumstances.

[bart11114]

This film is actually what made James Baskett the first African American Male to receive an Academy Award. Last February I did a school project on James Baskett for Black History Month.

[LoreneFaith]

@bart11114 Thank you for that bit of historic trivia. A lot of people think this movie should be banned as it portrays black people as happy on the plantation. It was the music, songs and stories that kept them alive and gave them a reason for living. The old movies may not always be popular by today's standards but the actors and actresses in them, took the opportunities they had at the time and with their incredible talents made movie history.

[bart11114]

@LoreneFaith Yes, I actually heard that The Uncle Remus Stories were the first books that Walt Disney read. and that's what inspired him to make a movie based on them. I'm sure if Walt were here today he would want people of younger generations to see his true work of art.

[LoreneFaith]

@bart11114 I totally agree with you Bart!

[familyguylover171]

Uncle Remus is quite charming.

[dsausagesandwich]

This magical gem will be restored to the public domain when this PC infested age eventually rots away and common sense reigns once more.

[georgarule]

Thank you for uploading..This has been one of my favorite since my father took me as a young child and I have never understood why it is banned. There are so many movies out there so much worse. I agree with BucketFurter!

[LoreneFaith]

@georgarule I totally agree. It is such a charming movie.

[sonrouge]

Where's the version that has a gathering of Disney characters at the end...or am I thinking of a different movie?

[JoelandtheBots]

@sonrouge You're thinking of the end of the Disney Sing-Alongs Vol. 2: Zip a Dee Doo Dah. Instead of seeing the cllosing of the movie in the reprise at the end, we see all the Disney characters pose for a group photo.

[mariseladullum]

you guys have to keep in mind when this was made but also comapre it to where we are now children still see just plain children together racisicim is taught and were we re now we can show children this they are to you to recongize who is purple yellow green or bule they think childre are children and there is nothing more to it and as long as the person watching this isn't teaching racism it is the same as anythin else but that is my opinon

[kor26]

1  van DE films uit m'n jeugd,geweldig om terug te zien!!:d

[joehop1505]

Disney love it'''

[Brerboy]

Thanks for the upload...I don't think we will be getting the soundtrack to Song of the South on CD anytime soon.

[LoreneFaith]

The songs are available on a variety of Disney collections.

[BucketFurter]

Never mind that it ISN'T racist, and that black characters have been the inspiration for many a great moment in cartoons; Never mind all that --

anyone who DENIES this film was made and attempts to censor it is guilty of much worse than racism. To smooth over history by banning works of fiction is FASCISM! Thanks to everyone who posts and shares this.

[LoreneFaith]

I agree!

[GeniusRKO39]

@LoreneFaith I sure agree too,

even if they denied it in the time it was

distributed by RKO! suckers!

[animfan1]

6:27 was where Disney characters came in during the reprise of "Disney's Sing Along Songs: Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."

[turbochick16]

Thanks for uploading, this is one of my all time favourite Disney movies when I was growing up! Many people say its racist, but just watching those kids running along singing together without a care in the world shows totally otherwise! Even though its a very old film, I think it highlights how beautifully innocent children are & how skin colour doesn't have any affect on how they see each other.

[LoreneFaith]

I agree with you. The children do not care what color they are, they just enjoy being together! We can all learn from them.

[ShawnActor]

@turbochick16

exactly. this is one of the many reasons I enjoyed this movie, ever since I first saw it in the theater, back in 1986.

This just goes to show that children are more accepting than some adults are of their peers, regardless of skin color.

[sliferproductions]

Ironically, this film taught me how black people are just as nice and kind as anyone else, unlike what Disney thinks today

I had a racist uncle who I took after at a young age, which I am ashamed of but I was very young. But after seeing this film and learning of uncle remus and how he helped johnny after his dad had to leave (My was in the navy so I understood the feeling) I then stopped being so stupid and started to accept people, and I am now so happy it turned out that way

[LoreneFaith]

Glad to hear that this movie had such a positive influence on your life. Thanks for sharing :)

[Lilalaunemary]

I love it, wonderful childhood memories :)

[SupawSimba]

Love Song of the South!

Thank you for the upload! x

[LoreneFaith]

I love it too!  Glad you enjoy the upload, thanks.
