I loved this movie for the amazing and engaging songs and for the hilarious bits of the movie with Mr Rabbit and the other two stooges, the Bear and Fox.

Even at an age of 30 years i still watch those and wet my pants!, thats what there truely is behind this movie, nothing more.

@vithushant - Well, I highly doubt Walt Disney would have approved a film highlighting slavery itself. Of course not. "Song of the South" is a celebration of African-American culture (hence the folk stories...), set during a time period where they flourished, while avoiding the concept of slavery altogether. If you take it for what it is, it's a beautiful piece of cinematography, and history at that.

@vithushant This wasn't about the oppression they suffered. This is all about Br'er Rabbit and finding his Laughing Place.

It's as if someone made a children's musical about Jews in post-World War II Germany that had a number titled "Hey! Nothing Bad Has Happened to Us, Ever." Also failing to reach the screen: When the movie had its world premiere in 1946 in Atlanta, James Baskett, the actor who played Remus, was not allowed to attend. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!
