I think the scenes with Prissy in Gone with the Wind are far more offensive than something like this. You can imagine how uncomfortable I sometimes felt watching GWTW, as good as the film is. I like it, but there are certain parts that I didn't think were necessary...but it was released in 1939, when segregation was still prevalent.
k i love this its sooo much fun but im seeing that people are complaining its raceist and this may be because im only 14 but i dont get it! all im see is a fun hero who out wits the two villians both are dim but one is mega slow! thats no different then modern cartoons and shows! so someone please expain to me!
I don't understand what is so racist about this? Can someone explain it to me? It doesnt make any sense, and Splash Mountain at the Disney Theme Parks is one of the greatest rides in the history of attractions.
A salesman came to my house to sign me up with Humana advantage health plan. I am white an he is African American. While he was going through the sign up process I said, I know who you remind me of, Uncle Remus. He was sort of offended. I said that I did not mean to offend him but that I loved the stories and songs of Song of the South and that I had a great deal of admiration for James Baskett, the actor who played Uncle Remus. I think Song of the South is one of Disney's greatest movies.
I remember having a read along cassette and book about Brier Rabbit and the Tar Baby when I was a kid. I'll admit it is interesting see the movie from which it was from.
There is nothing wrong with these old cartoons there is something wrong with the stupid fuck liberals that don't like for black people to act black. I grew up with this and more and it was wonderful. Liberals need to fuck off and focus on things like actually fixing world hunger and race relations and quit worrying about a fucking cartoon.
i remember seeing this as a child. shame i cannot share this classic with my children. this movie is not racist it only tell a tale of the times. to forget one's history is to hinder the learning for our future.
THIS IS NOT A RACIST MOVIE. If you wish to view the entire movie we have the original 1946 Song of the South on DVD, with an interview of Walt Disney himself on the creation of the film. Only at ACME SALES AND BOOKS only in beautiful Savannah, Georgia.
@piercedapparition well if u want to see it live.... go to a Disneyland or Disneyworld and ride Splash Mountain lol. I will never figure out how this is so racist that they won't sell it on vhs or dvd, but yet they make a ride based off the movie. hmmmmm
This is not racist. If you wish to view the full original 1946 movie with an interview with Walt Disney himself you can find it at ACME sales and books in beautiful Savannah, Ga
Thank you so much for this! I was born in 1992 and loved watching this when I was younger! I never realised it was released in 1946! Think I'm going to have to get out the video if it'll still work! And I actually love Uncle Remus' voice and laugh! And Brer rabbits laugh gets me everytime! Gosh I actually love this film, thank you once again! :)
This movie is a classic piece of Americana! Uncle Remus was not a slave in this movie, he roamed freely wherever he wanted. We have the original 1946 "Song of the South" on dvd with an interview of Walt Disney on the creation of the movie. Only at ACME sales and books in beautiful Savannah, Ga (912) 352-2203
To all the people ranting about left wing activists and the like; Disney took it upon themselves to kill the rerelease of this film and that's the reason it isn't at your local WalMart or on Netflix.
it was made for kids and honestly they dont know much about racism and stuff like that. they jus love the colorful moving images. we know as adults that this is a little questionable but honestly it was years ago. i think we all should jus relax.
@mickeymouse14 - "Song of the South" was released by Disney in 1946. The first Splash Mountain at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim didn't come along until 1989, three years after the movie's last theatrical release.
Walt Disney's problem child shouldn't really be a problem child. The problem is made up by misguided activism that seeks to create racism out of nothing. Stereotypes are stereotypes and all peoples have them. These left wing activists want to perpetuate a stereotype - that most white people were racist in the old days.
i would almost accept disney making new parts and episodes to the brier patch because i love brer rabbit so much and id hate to see a story line and characters like these go to waste :'(
again like many ppl said before.. Not Rasist.. i love the how do ya do song and i just got back from WDW today and spash mountan has all of theese char are in the ride so when i got home ( now ) i went and HAD to google it lol XD
Why is this movie such a sin? It is a classic Disney movie mixing live action and animation set at the turn of the 20th century. People really need to look at the garbage on tv today and the stupid music out there promoting prostitutes and killing people. There is no comparison. Thanks much for sharing this lost treasure with us.
@storrs19 "Tar baby" was an old racist term for a black child back in the day. I dunno, personally I can see why that would be insulting but aside from certain parts I agree with you.
I agree, the fact is there really were black people who worked as servants (not slaves) for money on plantations in the post civil war south, and many of them probably talked this way. Whats wrong with making a movie themed after those times?
@storrs19 I know! I've been searching everywhere for it because the darn thing has been banned. It's so ridiculous! My auntie used to have a version, but a broke long ago. :(
@storrs19 exactly prostitutes like hannah montana and whiny crack heads like the twins from the suitelife, television has become so superficial its terrifying! Thanks Ralphie these are the best memories
@storrs19 Right. You know why I think people think this is so "racist", if I may venture an opinion...people now (and maybe then too) are so afraid of being called racist that even a mild film like this that portrays animals that have "southern black" accents is automatically racist. Just the way the characters talk and act is seen as racist. People don't really want to just watch things like this for what they are, they like to pick them apart.
Respond to this video... And might I add I really enjoyed this movie! I wish i could find it on dvd anywhere. Bre'r Rabbit and his foes are the funniest characters!
@storrs19 well the reason many people say it is "such a sin" was because the rabbit was referring to the plantation owners and the other animals were the slaves. The tales were stating how the slaves outsmarted the plantation owners. Uncle Remus was the person telling the children, so that he can stab at the point of how slaves were treated :| so uhm yeah that's it
@horuloverthenikka Except for one thing, they're not slaves in the movie but rather "Sharecroppers" yes what you said may have been true for the original stories but its implied that they're there by choice in the film, yeah still historically inaccurate for the post-civil-war-south, but it did show that Uncle Remus could leave whenever he wanted to as it shows towards the end when Johnny gets attack by the Bull. But to Me it doesn't look like the film revolves *2bcont.*
@horuloverthenikka *Continued* but to Me it doesn't look like the film revolves around slavery or sharecropping, but then again I have ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, Mild form of autism (I'm not stupid it just makes some things hard for Me besides as My Mother is trying to prove to Me that being disable doesn't mean the same thing as a person can't do a darn thing for themselves) so all I really see is a another Disney movie from way back with catchy songs and animated tales I really enjoy seeing.
I love the "How Do You Do" song. :) It can get stuck in my head. xD I would've loved to see this movie if it actually was on video in the U.S. Thanks to YouTube, I can see it anytime I want! :D Of course, I always watch the animated segments; they're the highlights of the film.
I think Brer Fox has a secret... Brer Rabbit/ Brer Fox ;)
I sort of think that Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox have another, passionate story behind the scenes. Maybe it explains why Brer Fox keeps letting Brer Rabbit get away all of the time, and Brer Rabbit "tricks" him every time.
@PrettyVixen91 On second thought, maybe Brer Fox shags Brer Bear every now and then. Brer Bear has eyes for Brer Fox, too. I don't take my previous comment back, though ;)
Are any of you (Amberiella, brainiacbelle, drumwraith,MissJNMelvin, etc.) actually even reading what people are saying in their comments? No one (on this page) is saying the movie is racist!! C'mon people. Read the comments before getting all excited! Everyone loves the Uncle Remus stories and kudos to the Disney Studios for giving us a medium in which we can enjoy them.
When people claim that the Br'er Rabbit stories are racist, they're just showing their ignorance. These stories came out of black culture, and it is a representation of slaves (Br'er Rabbit) outsmarting the people who oppress them (Fox and Bear). This is exactly the opposite of racism. As for the speech, it's a combination of southern colloquial speech and Gullah, which is essentially the black version of cockney ( a language they came up with so that the upper class couldn't understand them)
Look people need to stop with all the comments about this being a racist movie. It is a classic and if you can't enjoy the video then dont click on the clip
so either you have to sing a greeting to everyone you walk by, the same song every time and over and over because it's such a happy friendly place, or you'll get your lights punched out. What kind of a world is that?
Heres what I say, bring back the cartoon characters, Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, and Brer Fox, screw the other parts of the movie. The cartoons don't look like much harm, that's just my two cents.
@Emimi33able there wasnt anything wrong with smoking back in this day.. i dont even think they even knew it was bad for you yet back in the 50s.. everybody just did it.
@TurdFurggison Actually, apparently, people were calling Disney 'racist', which they arent, so Disney made the people in Princess And The Frog black, which I dont get because isnt Mowgli and Aladdin from India, or something? :L
Br'er Fox sounds like the lady who says "Hercules! Hercules!" from "The Nutty Professor". This is funny. Disney HAS to release this on DVD in the United States sometime. This is possibly the funniest thing Disney has ever made. I just about died laughing during this scene. Racist? I don't think so.
Throw around all the proverbial hate stirring tid bits you like... This is one of the funniest movies you'll ever see! The cartoon scenes between Brer Rabbit, Fox and Bear are stupendous, and no one should have the right or ability to deny me this incredible work of art! GROW SOME BALLS DISNEY, AND RELEASE THIS AMAZING CLASSIC ON DVD!!!
Remember: The war was NOT about ending slavery. That was just a tactic used by uncle Abe. It was about money and power. Don't forget that the Union army segregated their troops while the Confederates did not and the the Union used these segregated troops more for cannon fodder than for tactical reasons. Rather have the black man killed than the white, I feel, was their thought.
i don't really find it racist i think that people portray it that way because it does remind people of how things were @ that time but as awful as it was it did happen and we need to keep in mind that this movie was made during the time that there was slavery it would be different if it was made now.
wow! i was a kid last time i saw this. times have changed so much. in a country that strives to be so correct, we are still so wrong. our priorities are so twisted!
fucking ridiculous racism my arse u can find racism in anything u do i happen 2 have fond memories of watching this as a lil girl with my family its a harmless kids film not a subliminal message spewing vile hatred honestly ant just see it as a funny song in a kids film and ill be damned if i dont let my children watch it one day its just a animated childrens movie and i personally think brer rabbit is hysterical just like a old southern farmer people need 2 get a life
I dont see the racism, other than people injecting it into something such as this cartoon that is a part of history. It opened the eyes to people, teaching them NOT to be racist. It never amazes me how people go out of their way to twist things into something they are not and refuse to see the beauty in the movie. This was from YEARS ago and it is still a legend for many reasons.

Gotta love Br'er Fox. He is hilarious! I about died laughing when he facepalmed and fell after Br'er Rabbit says "Two and a half"! I love Br'er Bear as well. He reminds me of Patrick Star or Big the Cat.
Br'er Rabbit is the coolest Disney character ever! I went to Disneyworld last week and rode Splash Mountain. When I saw the characters, I thought to myself, 'I have to find out were they come from'.
PS- I'm full black and I don't see how this is racist (It might be b/c I'm 16). I think this movie is hilarious!
You know, Brer Rabbit was and still is my favorite Disney character.
Ever since I heard about the whole "racist" thing, it made my stomach turn.
But no, this film is a masterpiece, it should be on DVD and blue-ray, anyone who thinks that this film is racist, can suck it, and Brer Rabbit will always be my favorite Disney Character!
You have to be a complete fucking retard to see racism in this movie. And even fucking dumber to agree with an idiot who finds racism in this movie. Yeah, how dare a movie show whites and blacks living happy together.
Looks to me as if only racists see racism in this beautiful story. It is set in a time when slavery was a fact of life. Should we whitewash history to satisfy a few radicals? I don't think so. Pirates were terrorists in their time. Should we ban Treasure Island too?
I'm thinking Walt Disney had big cojones in 1946 racist redneck America daring to portray Blacks & Whites getting along with each other; especially children of rich White parents becoming best friends with Black children & Uncle Remus. What sort of crazy mixed up modern world are we living in where people are bashing Walt Disney for racism? What the hell is wrong with some of you retarded assholes? This movie helped change attitudes of white children like me all over America in the 50's/60's
@drumwraith I think people are upset because Disney relies on racial stereotypes in films like Mulan , Dumbo and the Frog Princess. SOTS is still about slavery and no amount of profanity will change that. I wonder if it changed the attitudes of those white children who assaulted blacks at lunch counters and during sit ins. A film can't change what parents, church and institutions create. The ideology of mainstream white supremacy. Which is the audience that Disney markets these films for.
Pegging the entire white race with "mainstream white supremacy" just because you've seen the 60's films about redneck whites treating blacks horribly in Birmingham is like pegging all blacks with "mainstream barbarism" because of the atrocities 'some' blacks have committed in Central and Southern Africa; or "mainstream laziness and nastiness" because of what a handful of blacks have done to the 5 Points district of Atlanta. You wouldn't know real stereotyping if it bit you on the ass
@Midnight1711 Well, I'd say it's been going on since sometime in the late 80's, when Disney stopped showing the film in theaters, because of "perceived racial stereotypes"...and way longer than that within the general black community. I'm sorta shocked that you're not aware of the Disney bashing. If you can find an American copy of this movie...please tell me, and 50 million other Americans, who have been waiting for its release forever.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I worked in animation for a couple of years and yeah,this is racist...Disney had no problem w/that tho,kinda like the Nazis building great highways.Some of this is like watching the Sleep and Eat pieces in BAMBOOZLED.Wink is right.I'm a greasy white boy
There is nothing racist about this. I can understand how people don't like the term "tar baby" ...but it actually does mean "Being in a difficult situation" and Uncle Remus is the one who made it up. Anyone who is saying they're offended by this need to grow up.
These tales come from black people and are a part of black culture in times past. To silence this film, would be to silence a part of black culture and brilliant story telling.
@brainiacbelle I agree...all though the stories do have cherookee roots too..I told some of my kindergartners some Brer Rabbit Stories and they love them.
@brainiacbelle Uncle Remus was a fctional character created by a white man named Joel Chandler Harris. I agree that the stories are not racist but the term "tar baby" was definitely coined by a white man.
Joel Chandler Harris was a folklorist who collected this tales from slaves on a plantation in Georgia. We don't really have any stories directly from the slaves themselves, they all come through Harris. Again, I don't think they're racist but they are presented by a white man. Just sayin'.
Well yeah, but I got it from my grandmother who got this particular tale from her father, and so on.
And there ARE stories directly from slaves, it's just a great number decided not to pass them down from generation to generation. I'm just fortunate enough to be able to know them.
@Kukilunestar I'm well aware these stories originally came from the slaves. I just finished writing a huge research paper on the Brer Rabbit stories and I was just saying that Uncle Remus was not an actual person, that's all. And this Disney movie was based off the Joel Chandler Harris tellings. I'm not disputing anything else.
Presuming that is true, words don't have meaning untill you give them meaning. On the plus side the story has value with a strong moral behind it. The characters don't cast a negative image of black people, and the old man is passing on wisdome. Also, is the story saying that black babies are made of tar? Is the story saying that black babies are sticky?
would you perfer the honey baby? Then people would yell sexist wouldn't they. Tar is black so only people paranoid of racism would make the connection.
The concern of Racism comes from the Portrayal of Uncle Remus's relationship with the white children. Critics say that the movie portrays the "Slave/Master" relationship too leiniently, implying that slavery wasn't that bad. However, Disney contends that the movie is set after the Civil War and the Emancipation of slaves, so they aren't protraying "Master/Slave" but Wise Old Man/Children.
Also, the character of Uncle Remus is fairly stereotypical.
i saw your coment on the brer rabbit movie and you can find the plush dolls at disney world .there is a ride there and its called splash mountain and you ride threw all the scenes its real cool any way there is a gift shop there and they sell them
But the tar-baby, he don't say nothing....... damn.

These stories came out of black culture, and it is a representation of slaves (Br'er Rabbit) outsmarting the people who oppress them (Fox and Bear). This is exactly the opposite of racism. As for the speech, it's a combination of southern colloquial speech and Gullah, which is essentially the black version of cockney ( a language they came up with so that the upper class couldn't understand them)

Br'er Fox sounds like the lady who says "Hercules! Hercules!" from "The Nutty Professor". This is funny. Disney HAS to release this on DVD in the United States sometime. This is possibly the funniest thing Disney has ever made. I just about died laughing during this scene. Racist? I don't think so.

Remember: The war was NOT about ending slavery. That was just a tactic used by uncle Abe. It was about money and power. Don't forget that the Union army segregated their troops while the Confederates did not and the the Union used these segregated troops more for cannon fodder than for tactical reasons. Rather have the black man killed than the white, I feel, was their thought.

i don't really find it racist i think that people portray it that way because it does remind people of how things were @ that time but as awful as it was it did happen and we need to keep in mind that this movie was made during the time that there was slavery it would be different if it was made now.

I dont see the racism, other than people injecting it into something such as this cartoon that is a part of history. It opened the eyes to people, teaching them NOT to be racist. It never amazes me how people go out of their way to twist things into something they are not and refuse to see the beauty in the movie. This was from YEARS ago and it is still a legend for many reasons.

I'm thinking Walt Disney had big cojones in 1946 racist redneck America daring to portray Blacks & Whites getting along with each other; especially children of rich White parents becoming best friends with Black children & Uncle Remus. What sort of crazy mixed up modern world are we living in where people are bashing Walt Disney for racism? What the hell is wrong with some of you retarded assholes? This movie helped change attitudes of white children like me all over America in the 50's/60's
drumwraith 2 years ago 75
@drumwraith I think people are upset because Disney relies on racial stereotypes in films like Mulan , Dumbo and the Frog Princess. SOTS is still about slavery and no amount of profanity will change that. I wonder if it changed the attitudes of those white children who assaulted blacks at lunch counters and during sit ins. A film can't change what parents, church and institutions create. The ideology of mainstream white supremacy. Which is the audience that Disney markets these films for.
Ramonesaehs 1 year ago
Pegging the entire white race with "mainstream white supremacy" just because you've seen the 60's films about redneck whites treating blacks horribly in Birmingham is like pegging all blacks with "mainstream barbarism" because of the atrocities 'some' blacks have committed in Central and Southern Africa; or "mainstream laziness and nastiness" because of what a handful of blacks have done to the 5 Points district of Atlanta. You wouldn't know real stereotyping if it bit you on the ass

@Midnight1711 Well, I'd say it's been going on since sometime in the late 80's, when Disney stopped showing the film in theaters, because of "perceived racial stereotypes"...and way longer than that within the general black community. I'm sorta shocked that you're not aware of the Disney bashing. If you can find an American copy of this movie...please tell me, and 50 million other Americans, who have been waiting for its release forever.

thelioninwinter88 2 years ago
There is nothing racist about this. I can understand how people don't like the term "tar baby" ...but it actually does mean "Being in a difficult situation" and Uncle Remus is the one who made it up. Anyone who is saying they're offended by this need to grow up.
These tales come from black people and are a part of black culture in times past. To silence this film, would be to silence a part of black culture and brilliant story telling.

@brainiacbelle Uncle Remus was a fctional character created by a white man named Joel Chandler Harris. I agree that the stories are not racist but the term "tar baby" was definitely coined by a white man.
Joel Chandler Harris was a folklorist who collected this tales from slaves on a plantation in Georgia. We don't really have any stories directly from the slaves themselves, they all come through Harris. Again, I don't think they're racist but they are presented by a white man. Just sayin'.

@Kukilunestar I'm well aware these stories originally came from the slaves.

Presuming that is true, words don't have meaning untill you give them meaning. On the plus side the story has value with a strong moral behind it. The characters don't cast a negative image of black people, and the old man is passing on wisdome. Also, is the story saying that black babies are made of tar? Is the story saying that black babies are sticky?

The concern of Racism comes from the Portrayal of Uncle Remus's relationship with the white children. Critics say that the movie portrays the "Slave/Master" relationship too leiniently, implying that slavery wasn't that bad. However, Disney contends that the movie is set after the Civil War and the Emancipation of slaves, so they aren't protraying "Master/Slave" but Wise Old Man/Children.
Also, the character of Uncle Remus is fairly stereotypical.
