man i started watching some clips of this movie and i can't get this song out of my head. But it makes me happy so i guess i'm off to have a zip-a-dee-doo-dah day.
@disneypassholder the bald guy (uncle remus) cant be cgi next to the hand drawn animation because in the year of the films release (1946) cgi never exsisted
ive never watched this movie or even heard the songs, my friend told me about the songs...i just wanna ask how is this racist?? am i missing something?
HOLY SHIT, IT'S 1 AM HERE, I'M HALF -ASLEEP, AND CLICK ON THIS VIDEO, AND ALL OF A LL SUDDEN A MAN IN A DARK ROOM STARTS TALKING WITH FULL VOLUME. HELL, THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!
I'm a kid and happen to love this movie. I don't understand how anyone can call this 'racist'. I'm lucky enough to have grandparents who own a copy of this, so I'm able to watch it every time I visit them, but I'm so annoyed that I can't buy this because it's supposedly 'racist' and isn't sold anymore. :(
SHAME on anyone for considering any part of this movie as racist! Get off your victimized, ignorant soap box and see this for what it is. James Baskett and Hattie McDaniel were two of the greatest actors and singers of the 40's, and now their talents and wonderful performances in this movie will be lost and forgotten due to the unedcuated, uninformed, clueless followers who feel like they have to cause trouble to feel special. What a disgrace to blacks and the democratic party!!

ok, most children who would watch this wouldn't even know what racist is. its a classic disney movie and should be presented so. if you don't like it, too bad, don't watch it, others might like it. p.s.if its that bad why do they still have the ride at disney...i love that ride its so great and im glad they haven't gotton rid of one of the last original rides, because people can't get along and understand. keep the classics running, don't go soft.
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.
Wow. Absolutely awesome and amazing. Imagine that - black folks and white folks actually getting along is movie. No Malcom X, "Kill Whitey," or "Blonde haired-blue eyed devil" rhetoric. No glorifying gangasta rappers or gang members. No "biatch," "hoe," or other degrading songs or moron-speak. And they say Song of the South is racist ?!?!?
There are many reasons why this has been TAGGED as racist (Most w/o merrit). However, I tend to push the roots of this to the B/S of the late 60's and early 70's. When you want to change the world start with feeding the B/S in the name of the children. Signed generation, Who?
At 48 years old, I still find myself singing these songs to myself. When things are going good, it is Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. When things are all going wrong, it is Laughing Place. I think it is because of this movie, that I can laugh, when life sucks.
Yes you can argue all you want that this movie is racist, but you will still be wrong. Like the fella said below every black person depicted in this film is a free man. There are no "slaves" in it. The film isn't trying to gloss over the history of slavery, it's just a story(musical) about caring and loving people who don't see the color of your skin, set in a time when they would have. A typical Disney fairytale.
What's offensive isn't what's there, it's what isn't. "It's as though Disney made a movie about Jews after the Holocaust with a song titled 'Hey! Nothing bad had happened to us, ever'". (cracked) And also, the actor in this wasn't allowed to attend the premiere.
why are they not showing the moving anymore ? i actually did not know the name of the movie that zip a do da came from intill right now and im 29 yrs old would love to see it
i agree its not rascist the black charecters always win and the white ones win also . this is a great movie it may depict slavery but if your young enough you wont even noice .
@kobe24bballking It doesn't depict slavery. The story takes place after the Civil War during Reconstruction. That's why Uncle Remus can leave at the end, and come back by his own free will.
movie was made in the 1940s...u can argue that its racist all you want, but back then it was not considered racist because of the times....and now it is just considered a classic
People these days... this is NOT racist. It is an adorable story meant for kids. I swear some people just try to find things that are wrong with simple little things like a children's show. I'm white, btw, and I find nothing wrong with this show, honestly.
I dunno, the term "tar baby" is kind of absurd in itself. Also, the characters all speak like Stepin Fetchit...plus the dude lit a cartoon frog's pipe-personally, I don't give a fuck. But I can easily see how some people could find this offensive.
it's not racist. if a cartoon had White people in it will it still be racist? if anything, this cartoon gives blacks a chance to shine. please not get into race every time there is a black person in cartoons.
I've grown up with this movie and I didn't see it as racist at all when I was a kid. I'm a history major and having studied the time period this movie takes place, I know it's not as racist as others may think. If anything, it teaches kids about facing your problems nonviolently and making friends. I bet that if you showed this movie to a room of kids who had never seen it before they would not only have a good time, they wouldn't think it's racist either.
@TheITinFIT I have never seen this movie, but I have been dying to see it...If I am not mistaken, I found it on Netflix. x3 I don't understand how we could ban such a movie that faces the facts of reality, when, in truth, we show MUCH worse stuff in our society today. I will try and test that statement if I can, about showing it to a room full of kids. I am a Junior in High School, and everybody I talk to, other than huge Disney fanatics (like me), has never heard of it. It truly makes me sad.
@Inuyasha7543341 I know where you're coming from. Most of the people I knew in high school dismissed almost anything from Disney as childish except for its outpourings of annoying teen pop stars. According to Netflix it hasn't been released on DVD yet, but I'm hoping someday somebody high up on Disney's corporate ladder will change their mind about that. If you really want to see the whole thing, search on YT, it pops up from time to time (proof that it can't be kept hidden away forever!)
@TheITinFIT Ah, well. Thank you for that bit of help. My friends and I all love Disney, and I always go into a fit of rage when someone insults it... (not the best approach, but...) At least some of us are trying to keep the GOOD Disney alive. (I hate the stuff Disney is putting out atm...>.<)
@celestlived how could you say that this causes you pain? you wernt alive when slavery was about and you never had to live the pain. this movie wasnt racist then because thats how life was back then. if youd rather disney portrayed a real version of slavory then go ahead and write a letter to disney productions. kids have to learn about it somehow. im sorry your black and have hostile regression, but get over it. its 2010 and you have just as many rights as a white man so shutup.
My friend came over at my house with this movie and i loved it! The songs are happy and i actually saw no offense to it. I really don't see why people think its racist.
The reason many blacks find this movie offensive is because is a happy slave singing. Put yourself in this position, heis a slave, so why would any slave be happy? Another reason is for the way that all of the characters that are black have ill grammar. Now we understand that many black slaves did talk as such, but when many black are forced to hear this speech again we regress to thinking about the pain that many of our ancestors were forced to deal with. Im black thats how i feel watching this
@Celestlived are you serious? the reason you find this offensive is that the slave is portrayed as happy? and the movie utilizes actual southern slave dialect patterns? clearly the existance of a happy slave in a movie is more surreal and less likely than a talking rabbit, or a frog that smokes a pipe.
@Celestlived If we ban all movie that make us think about the pain that many of our ancestors were forced to live with, then we should ban all westerns because of the genocide committed against my ancestors at the hands of the federal government. We would have to ban all movie that have anything to do with the War Between the States because of the pain that many of my ancestors had to suffer at the hands of the Yankees. Your ancestors suffered at the hands of the Yankees as well.
@lpslittlestpetshop yh thats wat i mean its supposed to be about slavery but if it was about slavery wud u have a happy singing black man :/ i think not
I grew up with these movies and cartoons. They bring back wonderful memories and I see nothing racist about them. Was The Beverly Hillbillies racist because them made fun of us country people?
People thought it was racist because it shows African Americans being happy on a white man's plantation. But that's stupid, isn't it good that they're happy. Would it be better if they showed them not being happy? Besides it's a damn kids movie, Seriously people! There are far more racist things on TV and in movies now a days and people barely complain about it as they did back then!
There is nothing racist in this movie...you hear racisim or stereotypes in songs today but they're still selling them anyway..if they can do that then they need to sell this movie again since it puts a smile on everyone's face!
Its considered racist because Uncle Reamus is a slave during the Civil War. The songs all have a minstral feel to them as well as exaggerated vocal and physical characteristics. The Baer Rabbit character is the classic trickster like Koapelli or the Americanized version of Bugs Bunny, only the character is African in origin
@1motorcycleboy This movie is post civil war first of all, and secondly he is not a slave. He has his own quarters, albeit on the farm, and he can come and go as he pleases. He is an employee. People need to realise that while you might not /like/ the fact that the only employees on the farm were black, that was the time period. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's not racist, there are no racial slurs, it's just historically accurate (socially anyway).
I used to watch this movie when I was a kid. I just loved it. It wasn't until some years that I noticed that it was banned because it was considered racist. Too bad, I think it's a wonderful movie in many ways
I suppose it's racist because most the black people in the movie are the servants, but not releasing the movie because of that is silly in my opinion as I believe that it is a beautiful disney movie. I'm lucky I still have it recorded on video off the tv from when I was a kid, but I would love to have it on dvd.
@tomibic, personally I don't see why they (Disney) won't release the movie, it is not banned though. Just not allowed, Disney has spread "rumors" around that they will release it.
As to your question, the only racism I can see - the white people don't seem to do any (or only a little) work while the colored (or blacks, or however you want to call them, I can't say as it is so controversial) do a lot of work. Cooking, wood gathering, indoor working, farming, and etc. Hope this helps

Research before cus. and be a man not a mouthing teenager.
Research it, and you wil find that many artist find their inspiration from drugs. Every scene in Alice in wonderland is based on a different "high" of Drugs. Herbal or narcotic.
Dumbo- Pink Elephants same story.
If you have the slightest brain, and you do a little research, which clearly you do neither, you could differintiate those scene's from the fantasy ones.
But I cant expect a boy like you to understand that

someone told me to search this and they said a black man was singing n doing the jig n ish....so i did n nothing popped up. i sometimes think disney is evil. i mean come on.
if the film industry is still allowed to sell Shirley Temple movies, most of which have racist elements in them, why the hell can't they sell this anymore?
According to someone I know, he said that it's where Black people would end up possibly mistreated, and/or judged by others. I know this, because he said so.
@TamamaCandyLover Its Not that its Racist, Its just history Really...There are a few elements of Racism but not cruelty.It has a Pedophile them, Uncle Raemus was regarded as wanting to sex the little kids lol
I personally love this movie still today and Im 23! I dont think he is a Pedo :)
People should enjoy the films for what they are - children's films!! That's the audience they're aimed at after all! (Even though I still love 'em and I'm in my 20's!! lol!)
So does the "It's a Small World" ride, but that's not shutting down anytime soon. It was a time in history and it was the (although unfortunate) status quo of the time period. Nothing can change that, so why censor the public now? Shouldn't they have it so that we can, if nothing else, learn from our mistakes? Whatever. Rhetorical questions.
I don't see why they don't just release this movie on DVD. It's not like they completely got rid of these songs either. They're played on Splash Mountain all day and night, so I don't quite understand exactly why this movie and the songs are considered so racist. I don't get it.
this movie is one of the very best disney classics. I love it. its sad that they wont put it on DVD. so few people i know have seen this movie. but i do belive its a classic no matter what. Poor uncle remus only 44. =( i woulda loved singin zip-a-dee-do-dah with him.
Its so sad the actor that played Uncle Remus was only 44 when he passed away. Years ago for a birthday present for my mom I was able to buy a tape of the movie. Its her favorite movie!
Since I've watched this rare Disney classic a few times from beginning to end on YouTube, I think that it deserves its place on DVD and maybe even BluRay. Former Disney CEO; Michael Eisner, recent Disney CEO; Robert Iger, and Walt Disney's nephew; Roy Edwards Disney have been putting this topic off long enough. I think the Walt Disney Company and Walt Disney Pictures should just realease it onto DVD legally, that way it will cut down on people buying bootlegged copies from outside the U.S.A.
Its because they're pussies and don't want to "offend the African American population" hey, stuff happens, and I know lenty of black people that could care less if this movie was realeased on DVD.
I think that this movie is alot less offensive than The Three Calbroeeros (sp?), if you ask me. At least, Uncle Remus is portrayed peacefully, and isn't shown shooting a gun... unlike a certain parrot.
Hey, the Three Caballeros isn't more offensive than this movie. If it were it wouldn't have a Mexican film composer or stars such as Aurora Miranda, Dora Luz, Carmen Molina, and several other Latin American stars. I'm Latino and I'm not offended by it.
Very awesome!! Thanks for sharing this. I have always wanted to see the entire film... unfortuantly the only way i ever saw any of this was via an old disney sing along tape :(. This was very cool thanks.
This brings backs so many memories

@celestlived how could you say that this causes you pain? you wernt alive when slavery was about and you never had to live the pain. this movie wasnt racist then because thats how life was back then. if youd rather disney portrayed a real version of slavory then go ahead and write a letter to disney productions. kids have to learn about it somehow. im sorry your black and have hostile regression, but get over it. its 2010 and you have just as many rights as a white man so shutup.

The reason many blacks find this movie offensive is because is a happy slave singing. Put yourself in this position, heis a slave, so why would any slave be happy? Another reason is for the way that all of the characters that are black have ill grammar. Now we understand that many black slaves did talk as such, but when many black are forced to hear this speech again we regress to thinking about the pain that many of our ancestors were forced to deal with. Im black thats how i feel watching this
Celestlived 1 year ago
@Celestlived are you serious? the reason you find this offensive is that the slave is portrayed as happy? and the movie utilizes actual southern slave dialect patterns? clearly the existance of a happy slave in a movie is more surreal and less likely than a talking rabbit, or a frog that smokes a pipe.

@Celestlived If we ban all movie that make us think about the pain that many of our ancestors were forced to live with, then we should ban all westerns because of the genocide committed against my ancestors at the hands of the federal government. We would have to ban all movie that have anything to do with the War Between the States because of the pain that many of my ancestors had to suffer at the hands of the Yankees. Your ancestors suffered at the hands of the Yankees as well.

People thought it was racist because it shows African Americans being happy on a white man's plantation. But that's stupid, isn't it good that they're happy. Would it be better if they showed them not being happy? Besides it's a damn kids movie, Seriously people! There are far more racist things on TV and in movies now a days and people barely complain about it as they did back then!

wouldn't it be as bad if gone with the wind or civil war movies were
"racist" at that time african americans were slaves/house servants But now we dont have slaves. are civil ear movies racist now?
cootmaster 1 year ago
Its considered racist because Uncle Reamus is a slave during the Civil War. The songs all have a minstral feel to them as well as exaggerated vocal and physical characteristics. The Baer Rabbit character is the classic trickster like Koapelli or the Americanized version of Bugs Bunny, only the character is African in origin
1motorcycleboy 1 year ago
@1motorcycleboy This movie is post civil war first of all, and secondly he is not a slave. He has his own quarters, albeit on the farm, and he can come and go as he pleases. He is an employee. People need to realise that while you might not /like/ the fact that the only employees on the farm were black, that was the time period. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's not racist, there are no racial slurs, it's just historically accurate (socially anyway).

I suppose it's racist because most the black people in the movie are the servants, but not releasing the movie because of that is silly in my opinion as I believe that it is a beautiful disney movie. I'm lucky I still have it recorded on video off the tv from when I was a kid, but I would love to have it on dvd.

@tomibic, personally I don't see why they (Disney) won't release the movie, it is not banned though. Just not allowed, Disney has spread "rumors" around that they will release it.
As to your question, the only racism I can see - the white people don't seem to do any (or only a little) work while the colored (or blacks, or however you want to call them, I can't say as it is so controversial) do a lot of work. Cooking, wood gathering, indoor working, farming, and etc. Hope this helps

Research before cus. and be a man not a mouthing teenager.
Research it, and you wil find that many artist find their inspiration from drugs. Every scene in Alice in wonderland is based on a different "high" of Drugs. Herbal or narcotic.
Dumbo- Pink Elephants same story.
If you have the slightest brain, and you do a little research, which clearly you do neither, you could differintiate those scene's from the fantasy ones.
But I cant expect a boy like you to understand that

So does the "It's a Small World" ride, but that's not shutting down anytime soon. It was a time in history and it was the (although unfortunate) status quo of the time period. Nothing can change that, so why censor the public now? Shouldn't they have it so that we can, if nothing else, learn from our mistakes? Whatever. Rhetorical questions.

I don't see why they don't just release this movie on DVD. It's not like they completely got rid of these songs either. They're played on Splash Mountain all day and night, so I don't quite understand exactly why this movie and the songs are considered so racist. I don't get it.

Since I've watched this rare Disney classic a few times from beginning to end on YouTube, I think that it deserves its place on DVD and maybe even BluRay. Former Disney CEO; Michael Eisner, recent Disney CEO; Robert Iger, and Walt Disney's nephew; Roy Edwards Disney have been putting this topic off long enough. I think the Walt Disney Company and Walt Disney Pictures should just realease it onto DVD legally, that way it will cut down on people buying bootlegged copies from outside the U.S.A.
CommonSence2008 3 years ago 2
Its because they're pussies and don't want to "offend the African American population" hey, stuff happens, and I know lenty of black people that could care less if this movie was realeased on DVD.
I think that this movie is alot less offensive than The Three Calbroeeros (sp?), if you ask me. At least, Uncle Remus is portrayed peacefully, and isn't shown shooting a gun... unlike a certain parrot.
Bellalisa 3 years ago 2
Hey, the Three Caballeros isn't more offensive than this movie. If it were it wouldn't have a Mexican film composer or stars such as Aurora Miranda, Dora Luz, Carmen Molina, and several other Latin American stars. I'm Latino and I'm not offended by it.
