@MONKEYCATCHER Just FYI, Wald did hire minorities for quite some of his works, including Song of the South, one of the first movies where a black man was in a starring role and iirc the first one where a black person got an Oscar nomination. As for black people not talking like that, I can't say, but they might have talked like this in the 40's. And is it bad at all anyway?

@MONKEYCATCHER. Yes. "Song of the South" is so racist that it made its hero black just to give us a crazy mindfuck.
-
how would you know. you werent an adult in the 40's so how can you say how everyone talked? .
-
It's not racist to portray black people as they were at the time.

people get offended way too easily if anyone honestly thinks this is racist. This is Dumbo. A movie about a flying baby elephant. No one gives a shit about being politically correct because this was designed for the entertainment of 5 year olds. And a 5 year old black kid wouldn't be offended by this. Neither would a white kid. So stop overthinking it. FYI some black people do talk like this. Just like some Asians have Chinese accents. Its not offensive. Its a little more relatable that way.

Back then this wasn't considered racist because they didn't live in the crazy PC age that we do.

i don't think this is that racist . . . . . people will say the same thing in the future about cartoon portrayal's of ethnicity's now

@imagineerboi If the lead had not been named Jim Crow, I guarantee that no one would be complaining about racism.

Tsk tsk, i find it offencive that people depict crows like this. They dont sing like that and they dont dance like that, if Walt Disney were alive now i would tell him how ridiculous it was to create talking animals. This is on the boarder of animal cruelty, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a psychopath....
now this comment is about as ridiculous as all the other discussions bellow me. Enjoy the clip.

Thumbs up if you're watching this on Martin Luther King day lol.

@MONKEYCATCHER the crows were voiced by the Hall Johnson Choir, an all black choir, except the leader crow.
Um folks, these crows HELPED DUMBO. How can that be a negatvie racist portrayal? Sure these crows are bit insensitive, but a racist portrayal? No.
And Walt was not a racist. If I were Walt and a racist, I would not be hiring black people and giving them money in my films period. Which Walt did quite often.
