People always talk about Roger Rabbit and its great blending of live action and animation, but Song of the South did it decades before. This was 1946. Amazing.
And Song of the South came before Mary Poppins too, didn’t it? And did they advertise Mary Poppins as Disney’s first live-action/animation hybrid, or am I just imagining that?
@@gameoholic1994 well let's get this straight because you're right, first there's song of the south then so dear to my heart then mary poppins then bedknobs and broomsticks then who framed roger rabbit then mary poppins returns then chip n dale rescue rangers the animated live action blended movie from last year.
Reminder that this movie was released during the era of rampant racial discrimination and segregation in America. Yet, it depicts both black and white people holding hands and singing together, not caring about each other's skin colour, just living in the moment and enjoying life. How in the world is this movie considered racist? It's a beautiful movie that I think everyone needs to see now more than ever. We could all learn a thing or two from Uncle Remus and his stories.
I agree with you! I wish this was on Disney plus but unfortunately it’s not 😭 also with black people going through discrimination just because of their skin color, that’s very wrong to treat them so badly like that and it’s very sad because they are good people no matter what ❤
@@katie_lynn777 I also like to point out Disneys hypocrisy. They won’t release song of the south on Disney plus, but they’re perfectly fine with releasing family guy on Disney plus, a show that’s well known for its racist jokes!
Exactly. It’s about a black man who imparts wisdom on a young white boy. Just because uncle Remus talks with the typical black vernacular, that doesn’t mean he’s stupid.
Agreed. Possibly one of the most progressive films to ever come from the Jim Crow era. White children connecting with the black community and learning from their stories. Seeing black and white actors share the spotlight on screen was a rarity back then. People say "but it's not historically accurate though." yeah? And? Literally no Disney movie is historically accurate. They're supposed to be fantasy, not history documentaries. People seriously need to stop putting these old films under a microscope and holding them to the same standards as modern films. I'd say Song of the South is way more inclusive than anything we have nowadays.
I've gone my whole life until this very day, having never seen this movie, because you could never find it anywhere. I'm so glad I found it, because it's an absolutely lovely story. I absolutely love Uncle Remus! ❤ Disney should be ashamed of themselves, for trying to erase such a masterpiece from history.
Same with me, and yes, Disney should be ashamed. Especially because they're perfectly OK with releasing a remake of The Littls Mermaid that has characters of differing races! That's way more racist than this movie ever was!
2 this very day this is my favorite Disney movie ending of all time. The most beautiful ending Walt ever created. Makes me cry every single time I see it...
Such a beautiful movie. No blacks are called anything derogatory. The white and black children playing together is a wonderful visual. Beautiful music. Zero wrong with this film.
I couldn't agree more. It's REALLY SAD that the future generations won't know who Br'er bear, Br'er fox, or Br'er Rabbit are, or who Uncle Remus was. It's truly a tragedy. Disney was wrong to vault this movie away, it is a treasure, one that deserves a second chance. Just because it is based in the slavery era of America, doesn't mean the message is- 'racism is right, all people of color are bad, and you shouldn't make friends with anyone aside from your own race.' That's not what the movie's message is. The movie's message is- 'Be one with each other, regardless of skin color, making friends with any person with skin color different from your own is completely okay, and the heart inside them is what matters not societal expectations; follow your heart and use your head.' Separation from that which gives happiness only breeds sorrow, it never ends well for those that walk the path of sorrow and not the path of happiness; after all; we all could use someone with Uncle Remus's wisdom in our lives, and even more so nowadays.
@@brittanylehman5104Agree, a great and beautiful scene. Though the film is set during Reconstruction after the Civil War. So Uncle Remus and the black characters are free.
Yeah, Bob Iger is an idiot for calling this movie "offensive." It's nothing of the kind. You know what is offensive, Mr. Iger? Making remakes that completely miss the point of the original movies off of which they're based! (Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid, anyone?)
@The Brer Patch thank you so so so much for taking the insane amount of time this must’ve taken to give us a way to watch this classic in its entirety. What a treasure and what a wonderful person you are to have done that for all of us ❤
Love that finale! Despite it's faults, this a beautiful example from a segregated time that shows a bond between people of different colour. Love that shot of Uncle Remus amazed that all his folk tale characters were real all along!
Exactly. His magic has completed its work on the 3 children and enabled them, white and Black alike, to see the real Br’er Rabbit and his friends for the first time. And Remus sees them too. Br’er Rabbit even goes back for Remus to be sure he catches up with them and joins them. Magic does not discriminate by age or race.
Song Of The South is one of the best movies ever, I visited Mr. Baskett’s grave in Indianapolis. Disney should be ashamed of themselves not releasing this and anyone saying this classic is racist are idiots!!!!
Saddened......I remember Momma talking about going to see song of the south with my grandmother in down town Birmingham somewhere between 50-57 only a guess at the time frame....neither of the Godly women had a racist bone in their bodies......sad this wonderful piece of American history , captured on film could be offensive to anyone....more especially in light of the fact not long ago they were talking about teaching ebonics in public schools....
I remember seeing this scene at the end of the Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da Sing Along video which at the end, they showed a bunch of Disney characters grouped together including the Brer trio. I have to say this song is still amazing even after all these years.
A wonderful movie. It has stereotypes, yes, but it is a story about friendship, anti-bullying, and using your head instead of your fists to get yourself out of trouble. Give it a chance. Don't hate it just because you heard someone else say that it should be hated.
Indeed. This was the message Walt always intended the film to have. Sadly, the execution of the film before it prevented many viewers from being able to see that. I feel this isn’t supposed to be an accurate representation of the real historical era; it’s supposed to be an image of an ideal world where people of different races can find love and joy together, a world that only the children in the audience can one day create.
@12classics39 an ideal world where the white people live in the big house with the expensive clothes, whilst the black people are happy to be working for them and dressed in the scruffy clothes. Everyone is happy because they know their place?
Loved this as a child (singing 'Zippidy Do Da" along with my 45rpm record) and loved this now as a senior! Made a huge impression on me as a child...about friendship, laughter, respect for others and love. Always was one of my favorite classic Disney films. Such a shame that it's lessons aren't available to generations now, especially when it's so badly needed these days.
@@TheBrerPatch I am planning to go on the last day when we find out when that will be.. I will miss it. After 7 years of being obsessed with Splash Mountain and Song of the South, it's just getting taken away like it's nothing. Disney does not understand how much it means to us Splash Mountain Fans. They care more about being politically correct. I hate how people say it's racist. It's funny how this was not announced at any D23 in the past, but now they randomly come out and say it.
MrK_Builder Gaming it’ll be alright! Although I am also pissed off that the ride we’ve learned to love since the 90s is being taken over but I trust the work of the imagineers , it’s gonna be sad but they will do a good job I’m sure !!

Say what you will about the film itself, but the final shot is truly stunning and does not deserve to be locked away in a vault. It’s as if they’re crossing over from the real world into the cartoon world. The image of a Black man running to join a Black child and two white children so they all can frolic with the fantastical cartoon creatures together, side-by-side, underscored by “Zip a Dee Doo Dah” … it deserves to be remembered forever as a timeless symbol of the fact that we all have imaginations and we all are capable of believing in the fantastic, no matter what we look like or how old we are.
@@artbytesia the theme of “Let It Go” is ‘be yourself; don’t hide or be ashamed of your real self.’ It’s Elsa’s decision to STOP running away from her ‘problems’ and, instead, see her ‘problem’ (her power) as the unique gift that it is. Another great message.
@@12classics39 You do realize the song has no real point in being there, right? I mean, when Anna shows up, Elsa decides to be scared again, which renders the song moot!

I believe that was the original end title. But if it were to be truly original, it would not only include A Walt Disney Production, it would also include "Distributed By RKO Radio Pictures Inc." with the RKO logo somewhere in the end print.
Children all over the world knew that Walt Disney was a person, when Song of the South was released. A lot of children today don’t know that Walt Disney was once a person and they think of Disney as a great big company.
@@filmsforallnations Walt Disney himself was a perfectionist and visionary who wanted to make people happy, give people magic and created wonderful movies, and song of the south, in my opinion, is his ultimate creation. The people who runs the Disney company now are not visionaries, they are money sucking vampires who rather make big cash than to give people magic. If Walt Disney could see what his company has become he would be turning in his grave! I also want to point out Disney company’s hypocrisy. They won’t release song of the south on Disney plus, yet they don’t mind releasing family guy on Disney plus, a show that’s best known for its raciest jokes!
As a descendant of slaves, I don't feel the movie should be banned. It's a story based on fiction and fantasy and I viewed it as such. I am well aware that is not how life was on the plantation. There were parts in this movie that made me fear for the slaves but I quickly reminded myself that this is a Disney movie and that nothing bad was going to happen. So for those who are standing on the outside looking in please let me remind you that slavery has lasted longer in America than Black Americans have been free. Let that sink in a moment. So when you watch a sweet movie like this with its undertones you understand the deception. The good ole' days were good for who? I enjoyed the songs and the movie as intended, fiction.

Walt Disney’s song of the south is something I haven’t seen for years . My dad saw it when he was little and he didn’t understand it but now that he’s told me I know see why it’s never been shown to the public. But I’ll respect it .
Even then, despite some of the film’s oblivious faults, it should be released like various other Disney classics have been despite their offensive stereotypical material. Song of the South is truly a masterpiece of art that everyone should see at least once in their life; learn something from this film that you didn’t know before, and how you can better yourself as a person to not repeat history!
They banned it because blacks AREN’T mistreated and blacks and whites get along in the movie. Hollywood doesn’t like showing us movies of us getting along. They want us always fighting.
What I learnt as a kid: 1. You don’t need to be rich to have riches 2. Happiness is available to everyone. It is a state of mind. 3. Colour prejudice is wrong wrong wrong. Everyone can be wonderful and kind. Anyone can be nasty and thoughtless. 4. Families are wonderful together not split up. 5. Children of all races can play wonderfully together. 6. And the list goes on and on… Shame on the woke banning this academy award winning movie. Children don’t see what adults see. They don’t know history. There is time enough in life to learn about the sorrows of this world. Let children be children. Stories, imagination, songs, friendships, love and family values.
A film from my youth that has stayed with me all my life....I will never forget when uncle remise first sang the diary doo was song and how the cinema wernt from dark to a bright blue ..a film that lives in my 70 year old heart xx😍😍😍😍

how come bobby driscoll and luana patten and glenn leedy never appeared with donnie dunagan and cammie king and peter c behn and stan alexander and bobby stewart when they were child actors in the 1940's?
... You know. I think the real controversy is what happened behind the scenes of this movie. You see, Walt wanted this movie made because he was very anti-racist. Don't get me wrong, Walt wasn't a perfect man but for every one thing I want to punch him in the face for, there's a hundred things I want to shake his hand for and this is one of the hand shakers. I don't know how many executives thought this would be a success even with Disney's name, but when this became rather popular, well... Kinda became tarnished over time. Watching this film, I didn't see a "racist movie". I saw a movie that depicted post slavery prejudice and characters being proven. Let's not forget that this was one of the first movies where two kids, one white and one black, just treated each other like people, like FRIENDS. Of course the still racist fools would find that offensive, because they're egotistical as hell. Some of the behind stuff though... All I heard were stories so take it with a grain of salt, but from what I Walt and many Disney crew members stood up for James Baskett and many others on the film, they had to "prove the worth of this movie" to executives who were just... Stupid. Then let's not forget the fact that James Basket got an Oscar for playing Uncle Remus... and HONORARY Oscar. Yeah, he wasn't nominated for lead actor. The nominees were as follows:- Ronald Colman A Double Life (Winner) Gregory Peck Gentleman's Agreement
John Garfield Body and Soul
Michael Redgrave Mourning Becomes Electra William Powell Life with Father Then after this movie became more and more viewed-and enjoyed-You bet that angered the far left of the time (as well as the far right probably) so of course, they kept telling lies until people believed it. I don't see a racist movie. I see a movie with a few boring moments perhaps, but overall it was well done for its time and in some respects, still timeless. From morals about avoiding trouble to prejudice being stupid and cruel to the INCREDIBLE merging of Animation and Live Action. Also, Bobby Driscoll, you were a great actor and deserved so much better.
People always talk about Roger Rabbit and its great blending of live action and animation, but Song of the South did it decades before. This was 1946. Amazing.
Speaking of Roger Rabbit, that was a year later, in setting.
Exactly!
And Song of the South came before Mary Poppins too, didn’t it? And did they advertise Mary Poppins as Disney’s first live-action/animation hybrid, or am I just imagining that?

Disney should be ashamed of themselves, for trying to erase such a masterpiece from history.

2021: Happy 75th Anniversary.
Happy Anniversary.
?
Without Song of the South on Disney+, and without crediting “A Walt Disney Production,” there will be no zip-a-Dee-doo-day for us.
I believe that was the original end title. But if it were to be truly original, it would not only include A Walt Disney Production, it would also include "Distributed By RKO Radio Pictures Inc." with the RKO logo somewhere in the end print.
Children all over the world knew that Walt Disney was a person, when Song of the South was released. A lot of children today don’t know that Walt Disney was once a person and they think of Disney as a great big company.
@@filmsforallnations Walt Disney himself was a perfectionist and visionary who wanted to make people happy, give people magic and created wonderful movies, and song of the south, in my opinion, is his ultimate creation. The people who runs the Disney company now are not visionaries, they are money sucking vampires who rather make big cash than to give people magic. If Walt Disney could see what his company has become he would be turning in his grave!
I also want to point out Disney company’s hypocrisy. They won’t release song of the south on Disney plus, yet they don’t mind releasing family guy on Disney plus, a show that’s best known for its raciest jokes!
I agree with everything that you say. Michael Eisner was a visionary like Walt Disney was too, when he was president of The Walt Disney Company.
@@filmsforallnations what about the other presidents of the Disney company before Eisner? (not counting Walt Disney)
Were they visionaries too?
I don’t care what people say, I love this movie!
Fun fact, the man who played Uncle Remus won an Oscar for this movie.
It's a shame people that see racism at every turn had this movie band.
Honor James Baskett, Nick Stewart, & Hattie McDaniel’s work. Leave Splash Mountain alone. #SaveSplashMountain
This is one of my Favorite Endings from a Movie! It's so Damn Good and Beautiful!
As a descendant of slaves, I don't feel the movie should be banned. It's a story based on fiction and fantasy and I viewed it as such. I am well aware that is not how life was on the plantation. There were parts in this movie that made me fear for the slaves but I quickly reminded myself that this is a Disney movie and that nothing bad was going to happen. So for those who are standing on the outside looking in please let me remind you that slavery has lasted longer in America than Black Americans have been free. Let that sink in a moment. So when you watch a sweet movie like this with its undertones you understand the deception. The good ole' days were good for who? I enjoyed the songs and the movie as intended, fiction.
Disney is baaad. It sends subliminal messages.
God Bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻💯
Song of the South was a perfect movie. it was awesome & it was amazing!🎉😊❤

First time watching I was blown away it’s like Disney doesn’t even try anymore
I love the finale when love is about the kids
First move I ever went to see at 5yrs old back in 1972. The best movie and always will be.
Uncle Remus - time honored teacher.
I’ve never seen this movie ending for the whole life. That ending makes me cry happy 🥹🥹🥹🥲🥲🥲
Agree. A wonderful ending. Loved James Baskett as Uncle Remus, no one could do it better!
This was my favorite when i was little
Rest in peace James Baskett and splash Mountain. After all they did a good job a lot in the past for this, and now it’s the end for real.🙁
Who’s watching at 1:55 mark just after Splash Mountain closed for good 😢
Walt Disney’s song of the south is something I haven’t seen for years . My dad saw it when he was little and he didn’t understand it but now that he’s told me I know see why it’s never been shown to the public.
But I’ll respect it .
Even then, despite some of the film’s oblivious faults, it should be released like various other Disney classics have been despite their offensive stereotypical material. Song of the South is truly a masterpiece of art that everyone should see at least once in their life; learn something from this film that you didn’t know before, and how you can better yourself as a person to not repeat history!
They banned it because blacks AREN’T mistreated and blacks and whites get along in the movie. Hollywood doesn’t like showing us movies of us getting along. They want us always fighting.
@@dogeymon83 that’s not really the reason
@@antoniocasias5545 what’s the reason
What I learnt as a kid:
1. You don’t need to be rich to have riches
2. Happiness is available to everyone. It is a state of mind.
3. Colour prejudice is wrong wrong wrong. Everyone can be wonderful and kind. Anyone can be nasty and thoughtless.
4. Families are wonderful together not split up.
5. Children of all races can play wonderfully together.
6. And the list goes on and on…
Shame on the woke banning this academy award winning movie.
Children don’t see what adults see. They don’t know history. There is time enough in life to learn about the sorrows of this world. Let children be children. Stories, imagination, songs, friendships, love and family values.
The first time I watched this whole movie, I cried during this scene.
Me too. I was quite young, and it's the first movie I ever saw at a theater (early 1970s).
A film from my youth that has stayed with me all my life....I will never forget when uncle remise first sang the diary doo was song and how the cinema wernt from dark to a bright blue ..a film that lives in my 70 year old heart xx😍😍😍😍
Uncle Remus: Oooh! Wait for me, eveyone!!!
The ending gives me goosebumps everytime 😳

I can guarantee the next generation of kids will never know this movie existed
It is still available on video and laserdisc in large parts of the world, and with piracy copies no doubt floating around, I don' think so.. 😀
Not to worry i’ll make sure my kids watch this
Rip james baskett 1904-1948
Rip boddy driscoll 1933-1968
Rip luana patten 1938-1996
I wish I could watch the whole movie again. I haven’t watched it in years
Thanks to Br'er rabbit. Br'er fox and br'er bear are gone. Now they can live in peace
Why is Song of the South now seen as racist? I can't see anything racist about the film
I wish the ban was lifted off this movie. I want to see it again
You can buy it region-free on Amazon.
@@gameoholic1994 ooh
@@gameoholic1994 tapr?
You can online
Its availabe on UA-cam 🙂👍🏻
2:01 Uncle Remus trailing from behind
Alot of Black people worked on this movie and loved it.
So how is it rasist and offenive
Disney is WOKE
It’s really disgusting that Disney is removing this wonderful movie from Splash Mountain
Yeah, while replacing it with a ride based off a movie with frigging VOODOO!
It’s actually, get this… a ride based off of a real life Salt Mine that had actual slaves in it!
Indeed. Strange that that fool Bob Iger doesn't see his own hypocrisy in replacing Splash Mountain with another story about true slavery in a salt mine.
Banning “Song of the South” makes as much sense as banning “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
What happened in that movie?
@@antoniocasias5545 People thought this movie took place during the times of slavery, when really this movie was made to take place during the Reconstruction Era, AFTER the slaves were freed.
@@gameoholic1994 The Dukes of Hazzard?
@@antoniocasias5545 The only reason people get their panties in a bunch over the Confederate flag of the main orange car of the show, the General Lee, is because of today’s PC liberal media. Nobody minded that back in the day, and LOVED the show for its morals, its comedy, and all the highly lovable and relatable characters played by some of if not THE best actors and actresses of their time.
@@gameoholic1994 ye
I love this movie so damn much it hurts. My sister is a madwoman to think that this masterpiece is racist or anything other than wholesome.
Modern Disney really is complete garbage for the way that they’ve handled Walt Disney’s legacy.
For a film made in the 1940's, these effects are AMAZING!
Take a lesson from this, Re-Animated!
Closing to Zip A Dee Doo Dah with Jiminy Cricket 0:57

A perfect ending to a beautiful 1946 Walt Disney Masterpiece! 😊❤️🎆 Zippety-Doo-Dah, Zippety-Yay! 😄
Disney doesn't put out anything as wholesome or kid friendly anymore.
Disney just being WOKE!! People Awake not Woke 🙏🏻😘💯
The best Disney movie ending ever, with the Three Caballeros running up second close
Tribute to Splash Mountain
how come bobby driscoll and luana patten and glenn leedy never appeared with donnie dunagan and cammie king and peter c behn and stan alexander and bobby stewart when they were child actors in the 1940's?
Hmm, say what you want about the movie's alleged racism, but you gotta admit it's got one of the best "into the sunset" endings.
Racist? Racist?! This movie is racist?!? Why?! It's beautiful
Agreed. Disney is too afraid to show it on Disney plus as well, due to the Gen Z’s despising this film
Well... Even celebrities want The Mouse House to re-release the movie on Disney+, even Whoopi Goldberg, saying that you can't erase history
@@CartoonFinder I agree. Banning this makes as much sense as banning “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
@@gameoholic1994 Why what happened in that movie

Can you imagine someone make a short film of a new song of the song
I used to hear it on Disney's Sing Along Songs Zip A Dee Doo Dah.
Honestly if the ending had more br’er rabbit singing this would be more amazing than it already is (plus br’er bear who is always a delight)
I visited James Baskett's grave in Indianapolis. Even knough he was dead. I told the grave about what happened to this grave
2:36 they should’ve extended it with “This heart of mine is in the heart of Dixie, that’s where I belong… etc.”
0:11 no one turns around to see if he’s ok or help him up.
they didn’t notice; plus, he didn’t need help, it was just a stumble. Probably not even intended and happened by accident in the take and kept in.
This movie did have its problems…but I still love it, it’s a beautiful movie that should be given another chance to the world
That was my favorite movie!
... You know. I think the real controversy is what happened behind the scenes of this movie. You see, Walt wanted this movie made because he was very anti-racist. Don't get me wrong, Walt wasn't a perfect man but for every one thing I want to punch him in the face for, there's a hundred things I want to shake his hand for and this is one of the hand shakers.
I don't know how many executives thought this would be a success even with Disney's name, but when this became rather popular, well... Kinda became tarnished over time. Watching this film, I didn't see a "racist movie". I saw a movie that depicted post slavery prejudice and characters being proven. Let's not forget that this was one of the first movies where two kids, one white and one black, just treated each other like people, like FRIENDS. Of course the still racist fools would find that offensive, because they're egotistical as hell.
Some of the behind stuff though... All I heard were stories so take it with a grain of salt, but from what I Walt and many Disney crew members stood up for James Baskett and many others on the film, they had to "prove the worth of this movie" to executives who were just... Stupid. Then let's not forget the fact that James Basket got an Oscar for playing Uncle Remus... and HONORARY Oscar. Yeah, he wasn't nominated for lead actor. The nominees were as follows:-
Ronald Colman
A Double Life (Winner)
Gregory Peck
Gentleman's Agreement
John Garfield
Body and Soul
Michael Redgrave
Mourning Becomes Electra
William Powell
Life with Father
Then after this movie became more and more viewed-and enjoyed-You bet that angered the far left of the time (as well as the far right probably) so of course, they kept telling lies until people believed it. I don't see a racist movie. I see a movie with a few boring moments perhaps, but overall it was well done for its time and in some respects, still timeless. From morals about avoiding trouble to prejudice being stupid and cruel to the INCREDIBLE merging of Animation and Live Action. Also, Bobby Driscoll, you were a great actor and deserved so much better.
Whoever has a copy of the movie they should rip it and put it online and it’s entirety
