Song of the South (1946) Divx ENG

Banned in the USA

Song Of The South is a feature film produced by Walt Disney, released on November 12, 1946, by RKO Radio Pictures and based on the Uncle Remus cycle of stories by Joel Chandler Harris.

The live actors provide a sentimental frame story, in which Uncle Remus relates the folk tales of the adventures of Brer Rabbit and his friends.

These anthropomorphic animal characters appear in animation.

The hit song from the film was "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah", which won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Song and is frequently used as part of Disney's montage themes.

The film inspired the Disney theme park ride Splash Mountain.

The film has never been released in its entirety on home video in the USA because of content which Disney executives believe would be construed by some as racially insensitive towards blacks and is thus subject to much rumor.
