@dan19beav74 The PC thought police does not allow people to express thanks for being freed from slavery, and living in content union with the former "masters"! They want war, they want ugliness, they cannot stand the simple beauty of a harmonious life. And that's what they get, that's why today's Afro-Americans have forgotten about beauty and harmony, and instead terrorize the world with ugly nigger-dialect rap and primitive, loud, agressive "music". But that's progess I suppose!

Totally just watched. Definitely not racist. The cutest movie ever<3<3

The movie was released in 1946 during a period of American history in which the only images of African-Americans, on film, were of this kind. By today's standards, the general overtone and subtext of this movie would be considered racist. The stories are based on African-American folktales overheard by Joel C. Harris, as a child. The songs were not real work songs, but rather songs that thanked their former slave masters. This is, indeed, racist.

A beautiful movie, from my childhood. Racist? Hell No!!!!

Bring this grand ol feature back,so more people can enjoy it. At SeventyTwo years of age, I would love to view it again, but Alas!!! it has been packed away, labeled, as racist.

@Kevinwren99 It was. This is just a reissue of it in 1972. This was before there was vhs and dvds. There was something called Super8mm but it was very very bad quality. The only best way you could watch films was at the theater as that was a tradition in those days like it still should be now.(thanks to downloads and HD - sarcasm) There were things that were similar to vhs, except they weren't proper films. Remember Show Tell? The tv thing with a record on it? ^^

@Kevinwren99 As hard as it is to believe, there was a time before people had these old DVDs called "VHS", and so theaters would have movies play in the theaters longer than they do today

I remember watching this in theatres when i was 12.....i loved it then and still do at 49. I don't take this as a racist movie, but as a movie that shows you can have love and friendship for one another no matter what age, sex or social status you have. Also, those who believe it's a racial movie needs to consider the era in which this movie portrays! Remember history?
