Ugh I love this movie. I don't care what people say. These kids are looking up to Uncle Remus, just as I have. The stories of Br'er Rabbit have always been interesting and fun. And this movie, and Splash Mountain teach a very important message: You can't run away from Trouble! Life's gonna face you with many challenges and problems, but the only thing you can do is face up to them and overcome them. Running away from them will only make it worse.
My dad has seen Song of the South and he said it was really good. If people didn’t think it was racist, I imagine there would’ve been a meet and greet for Uncle Remus. I would be first in line to meet him and I would show kindness to him.
those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. If people keep trying to forget about all this, they will just keep repeating the same mistakes. So what happens when they forget all the offensive words and terms white people used on black people. They'll just start doing it all over again.
Uncle Remus was a slave or former slave. The movie made it seem like black people were these simple happy folk that provided wisdom for white children. It could give one the impression that black people were better off in those days.
It wasn't ever banned anywhere - Disney just likes to pretend it doesn't exist. Yes, though, Splash Mountain is doing a fantastic job of preserving its legacy otherwise. ^^
Fun fact: James Baskett, who also played Br'er Fox and Uncle Remus, voiced Br'er Rabbit in this segment because Johnny Lee, the regular voice of Br'er Rabbit, was on tour promoting the film.
Yeah, when I first heard about that, I'm like WHAT?! THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME!!! James Baskett is talented. And so is Johnny Lee. I mean, he's a PRO at stuttering.
That is VERY cool to learn! Id heard tjat James Basket had done Brer Rabbits voice at one time, but I didnt know when that actually was.....I thought it had been just a rumor until now
Psst…. Don’t tell anyone, but 2 of the animated segments are actually officially available on DVD. They’re both on the original Disneyland television episodes from the 50s. One Hour In Wonderland an extra on the Alice in Wonderland dvd bluray included the Zip-A-Dee-Doodah segment. The Laughing place segment is in black and white as part of the Disneyland Story from the Disney Treasures Disneyland USA set
I love this film. I know that it is problematical from a racial/racist/racialized perspective but as a child it was magical and heart-warming. I did not disdain the dark-skinned people in the film, I loved them and wanted to know people who were like them. As an adult, fortunately I have been given that opportunity.
Fun Fact: The laughter provided by James Baskett at 1:50 was reused as King Louie’s laugh in the Disney animated film “The Jungle Book,” which was released in 1967, close to twenty years after James Baskett’s death.
I loved "Song of the South" when it came out in the theaters. I saw it again and again. The stories came from the Joel Chandler Harris books written in southern black dialect. Even so, an innocent child, I had no notion that the animal characters (Brer Rabbit, Fox and Bear) were portrayed with black voices. They were just FUNNY. Later I realized that Johnny Lee, Calhoun in "Amos 'n' Andy" on TV, did the voice of Brer Rabbit. It dawned on me that the animals - clever (Rabbit), slick (Fox) and stupid (Bear) - were meant to be black. I don't see the film as racist. Brer Rabbit is the star; children love him and root for him as he outshines Brer Fox and Brer Bear. Uncle Remus (smart and kind) is the hero who helps the children handle life apart from their dad. He distracts them with his folktales. "Song of the South" is a dazzling composite of animation and live action, charming and funny, which never intended to hurt anyone. Let it stand on its merits, which are many.
I was a wee one when I 1st FELL IN LOVE w/this movie. I will not waste my time arguing 4 views held by people who view All the beauty & Wonder & Diversity in this BEAUTIFUL WORLD. I put my ATTENTION towards things I would like more of. I need to hear Bear Necessities(sp?) MAHALO NUI LOA 🌟✨💫💖💕💓✌on🌎
It's a movie about a HAPPY SLAVE to ease the guilt of the grandchildren of slave owners during a time black people were still living under Jim Crow. How can you not see this is racist
It’s so odd to think that just by canceling or hiding or removing a movie from circulation that that will make it seem as though that history never existed. This movie to me shows that even if the movie takes place during dark times like slavery, white and black people could still find the same things entertaining. It shows that we are all human regardless of differences in skin color, social class and background.
It's a completely ridiculous double standard to ban a movie from being sold in the U.S. and having a theme park attraction in several locations clearly based on that same movie. Just release the dang movie. And to say that it's because the movie is so called "racist" is completely foolish. If that's the case, I could list dozens of movies that should be banned as well, but no, they're still out there being sold. I see it as a cautionary tale to us all about the dangers of racism and hatred. Stuff like this happened, to deny it would be ignorant. It should be used to remind us how far we've come in this world, and how despite everything that happened in the past, people are to be loved, respected, and celebrated for who they are.
Disney's a private entity. Hate to break it to you, but they can do whatever they please with their property. If they feel the negative outweighs the positive, in terms of publicity & monetary gain-loss, well then they won't re-release it. They can have double, even triple standards if they please. But honestly it has nothing to do with standards, rather business. With huge corporations it's never an issue of ethic's-- it's an issue of capitol.
Sims 3 Forever Dude you might be referring to Disney only films but one that is racist is Blazing Saddles but the way the main Star bucks It Off makes it funny not to mention the way he gets back at the people mistreating him or the bad people in the movie yet I was able to watch that on UA-cam but I can't watch Song of the South I like watching a lot of older films or older cartoons mainly the cartoons as they're actually drawn instead of having these crappy computer images like Phineas and Ferb for example
+vikki d thank you my fav quote from the ride is hey Brer Rabbit how about I take you to my laughing place haha only I don't expect you to be doing much laughing "
This movie was re-released in 1968 when I was 7 years old at the time. I saw nothing but love from Uncle Remus and I still do today. As far as I was concerned Uncle Remus was talking directly to me and warning me, no matter who or what you are. Somebody is going to try and take advantage of you..Dont be Brer Rabbit! The bigger and truer fact Uncle Remus was teaching every child, no matter the skin color, a lesson everybody could learn from.. even today! But the fact is, too many people are worried about skin color rather then living as one in spirit. The fact is, NOBODY wants slavery back. But we cannot ignore our history or try and delete it unless everybody wants to repeat the same history.. Let the stories be told and discuss the results in the end. Rather than shut EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING up. Just my opinion.
@@amandabub6517 You keep out of this Br'er Bear! It's another one of his tricks! That rabbit's just trying to- (Br'er Bear shuts his mouth) Duh where is this laughing place at?
They banned this movie .....really there's nothing wrong with it, while seeing this multiple times and also loving the ride based off of it, this should not be banned there are multiple other cartoons that are far more offensive than this great classic film
I agree , me and my immediate family 👪 saw it and they're was nothing wrong at all There are some ignorant people who don't want anyone of a different race to coexist with another race peacefully which to be is absurd.
Before Covid-19 hit I had dreamed of wanting to ride Splash Mountain but they removed everything that dealt with Song of the South altogether which is a shame because now no one'll ever hope on anymore God damn it I cried a d I'm crying now before writing this here quote 😭😭😭😭
Brer Rabbit is one of the famous Disney characters ever! I really hope that Song of the South will come out of the Disney vault and be put on Disney+ in the foreseeable future. I even think Brer Rabbit should make an appearance in the future Kingdom Hearts games. I also think the song and term Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah should appear in the series too.
I watched this as a kid and I didn’t know anything about racism. I loved the animation and the catchy music. Surprised when I found out when I was older it was being canceled.
My grandpa grew up with this movie. When I asked him if he found it offensive or not, he said there was nothing offensive in it so I just find it insane that people find this actually good movie offensive. Not to mention I’m actually a half black person and I do not find this movie racist in anyway.
They should remaster the film into a full length animated feature (making it something like the 59th to 61st animated classic) and update the hand drawn animation to be at the same level of quality that stuff like Enchanted and Princess and the Frog were at. They can also easily modify anything that might be considered offensive, and add more characters and stories to fill the run time.
@@TheMormonSorceress Why not make a Cartoon show with Brer Rabbit and all the other cartoon characters including Brer Fox, Brer Bear, and everyone from the books and comics?
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!!!!
This movie is the best Disney animated ever! I remember watching it on television when I was a young girl back in the 50's. What a total delight it is to see Uncle Remus again! Every child today should watch this movie. Walt was making his movies at a time when there was such a thing as childhood innocence. That doesn't exist today, unfortunately. What a treat to see this movie again. Remember Dumbo; Bambi; Cinderella; The Yearling, etc. We could go on and on and on. We 'baby-boomers' miss those times when children were children and we learned right and wrong from out parents and we also respected other people. All of those lessons of morality exist in Disney's films.
At some point Disney needs to grow a pair and own up to the fact that this (ever so harmless) movie happened. Sweeping the past under the rug only works for so long.
People keep saying this movie is “sanitized” because it doesn’t show racism and what have you, but they keep forgetting that this film is being seen through the eyes of the children characters. You can tell with the animated scenes. When Uncle Remus tells the stories, the animated scenes represent the children’s imaginations. Even back then, parents didn’t have political discussions with children. They believed children should be seen not heard. It’s a damn shame this film has been censored because of ignorant people running their mouths.
Finally watched this movie so I can educate myself on it, I definitely see the issues this movie has but it's a product of its time and also told through the child's perspective... I love the animations and songs. The animations mixed with live action is pretty impressive considering it was made in the 40s. It's sad that Disney won't show this movie JUST because of how talented James Basket was. I think that's the true loss honestly. At least a few people still know/remember his talent. 😊
James Baskett (Uncle Remus and the voice of Brer Fox) also voiced Brer Rabbit for this one sequence while the regular voice of Brer Rabbit Johnny Lee was busy promoting the movie.
What y'll are missing is that Uncle Remus was Love. He was the first black person in my life in an all white community, and I have loved him ever since. I introduced my children to him and hopefully my grandchildren. I still have the album form the movie. It is what you make of it , and I made LOVE of it.
How can you dislike these videos regardless of all controversial issues about the film we as children enjoyed everything but I guess that’s the beauty of childhood our innocence
It’s been a while since I’ve heard Brer Rabbit’s laugh. 1:51 His laugh is pretty contagious if I hear it hear it over and over again. I try my hardest not to laugh but I believe Bre’r Rabbit has got me. I’m just laughing my head off 😅😅😅😅😅 he’s just so funny. 1:23 😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The South has always been a place of folklore that was derived from multiple cultures. This region was settled primarily by the following ethnic groups: Irish, Scottish, Germans, Spanish, Brazilians, Creoles (French and African) and Cubans. Pre-Civil War and especially during Reconstruction it was not uncommon to find minorities or immigrants running the households of the well to do in the South. And the well to do included people from the above mentioned ethnic groups, including Blacks. Yes, there were wealthy Black landowners in the 19th Century South. They helped rear children and often shared their stories, ancient folklore and even medicinal remedies with fellow Southerners and their offspring. So modern interpretations of stories such a Brier Rabbit, Don Quixote or Sleeping Beauty would have evolved from the infusion of European fairytales, Irish legends, Caribbean voodo and African Folklore. As far as Song of the South being racist, it was actually a depiction of Southerners as a whole. Which for many decades prior to the film were seen as uneducated, dirty and impoverished. The North had always looked down on Dixie because it was agricultural and not industrialized like the Northern states. And whether Black or White Southerners shared the same dialect as heard in this film clip, which seemed foreign to the Yankee states.
Disney really need to release this movie, regardless of the incorrectness of some of the cultural depictions. It’s better the acknowledge wrongs so that aren’t repeated than to sweep them under a rug and ignore. Sing of the South could be a great tool in education future generations on racial prejudices and the culture and history behind the stories of the BR’ER patch critters.
They recycled the sound into his laugh. But to me, this movie is much more of a milestone in Walt's career, since it was the first Disney movie to incorporate animation with live-action. I wish this were released on DVD!
Avi Greene but due to stupid Social Justice Warriors or SJW's for short thinking this movie is so racist I highly doubt it will ever get a DVD release SJW'S have to ruin everything for the rest of us I've seen this movie before and it really isn't that racist I think
I think these 3 characters deserve another chance from Disney. Whether that be a new animated feature or a TV show on Disney+, I don’t think they should be completely written off just because the first go-around was controversial. I also think they should make a documentary about the film, there’s lots of stuff that could be covered in it, but I doubt the current execs would be interested unfortunately. If I recall, the intention was for this film to be fully animated to begin with, but Walt’s desire to expand into live-action coupled with rough financial times for the studio changed that. I guess my main point is, why not rectify the mistakes that happened with SotS instead of trying to act like it doesn’t exist even though it’s not exactly a secret?
A Disney classic, release on Blu Ray! Only an idiot was say it was “racist”. The black people in the film have the best characters. Uncle Remus is the most lovely, caring and kind character, enchanting the children with funny Brer Rabbit stories, and keeping them safe.
some of the most beautiful animation ever done...look at the postures and attitudes of the characters, and the cyclone animation of the bee swarm....truly a classic of Hollywood filmmaking and animation, that has been hijacked by p.c. posturing and liberal censorship. Disney needs to re-release this classic with a historic documentary. incredible cast and skillful art.
At least officially release this segment. My favorite segment in the film. I’m half African American and think this film is important for animation history.
Someone's favorite ride is themed after this movie..... Someone owns a copy on DVD...... Someone also named their border collie uncle Remus...... Someone......
I find it interesting that Br'er Fox is voice by James Baskett, the guy who plays Uncle Remus. Very versatile actor!
In this clip he voices Br'er Rabbit too!
He died very early unfortunately.
He voiced one of the crows in dumbo too
@@littleredwitch The man died too early, rest in peace Baskett
I really like Br’er Fox real much😂
These characters deserve a second chance. It’s not their fault they came from a controversial movie.
Yes
Technically they got their second chance through the ride and it was successful.

What a treat to see this movie again. Remember Dumbo; Bambi; Cinderella; The Yearling, etc. We could go on and on and on. We 'baby-boomers' miss those times when children were children and we learned right and wrong from out parents and we also respected other people. All of those lessons of morality exist in Disney's films.
I love the Brers. They need to be added back into the parks. Their ride saved and having their own movie and series.
At least they will be safe in Japan.
At some point Disney needs to grow a pair and own up to the fact that this (ever so harmless) movie happened. Sweeping the past under the rug only works for so long.
Instead, they are basically killing off Splash Mountain, thereby likely sending Br'er Bear, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Rabbit to Wasteland!
I feel like they should remake this movie bro reintroduce the characters in a positive light. Not other classic movies that don’t need it.
his laugh sounds just like King Louie from The Jungle Book and that's made me found my laughin place. LOL
Poop head
That was brer rabbit’s laugh to begin with later they put it in Jungle Book
People keep saying this movie is “sanitized” because it doesn’t show racism and what have you, but they keep forgetting that this film is being seen through the eyes of the children characters. You can tell with the animated scenes. When Uncle Remus tells the stories, the animated scenes represent the children’s imaginations. Even back then, parents didn’t have political discussions with children. They believed children should be seen not heard. It’s a damn shame this film has been censored because of ignorant people running their mouths.
Finally watched this movie so I can educate myself on it, I definitely see the issues this movie has but it's a product of its time and also told through the child's perspective... I love the animations and songs. The animations mixed with live action is pretty impressive considering it was made in the 40s. It's sad that Disney won't show this movie JUST because of how talented James Basket was. I think that's the true loss honestly. At least a few people still know/remember his talent. 😊
James Baskett (Uncle Remus and the voice of Brer Fox) also voiced Brer Rabbit for this one sequence while the regular voice of Brer Rabbit Johnny Lee was busy promoting the movie.
LOL at the bees at 4:04, speaking of a laughing place!
BEST DISNEY MOVIE
Love this movie grew up watching it with my granddaddy brings back memories ❤️
One of the greatest movies of all time!
Seen as a child of 5 sparked my imagination like no other. I love Uncle Remus and Johnny. The lessons are life. The art of storytelling is wonderful.
B’rer Rabbit’s laugh is so cute.
I love the way everyone talks
Good Ol' Brer Rabbit...
Man!
I haven't seen this cartoon in 30 years! Never could remember it's name or look it up!
These stories are borderline hilarious. This is a complete fit for Walt Disney!
4:00 makes me laugh so hard the way he slowly reels Br’er Rabbit back in 😂
What y'll are missing is that Uncle Remus was Love. He was the first black person in my life in an all white community, and I have loved him ever since. I introduced my children to him and hopefully my grandchildren. I still have the album form the movie. It is what you make of it , and I made LOVE of it.
“I didn’t say it was yo laughing place. I said it was MY laughing place, Br’er Bear!”
Now found my laughing place too!
0:46 what a great gag. Simple jokes like that are always hilarious.
How can you dislike these videos regardless of all controversial issues about the film we as children enjoyed everything but I guess that’s the beauty of childhood our innocence
At 1:50 the laughing place is very contagious and let's give a big hearty laugh at 5:00 :-D.
It’s been a while since I’ve heard Brer Rabbit’s laugh. 1:51 His laugh is pretty contagious if I hear it hear it over and over again. I try my hardest not to laugh but I believe Bre’r Rabbit has got me. I’m just laughing my head off 😅😅😅😅😅 he’s just so funny. 1:23 😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always was my favorite Disney stories. Uncle Remus
lol Brer Fox's laugh lol.
Fav song of the movie
The South has always been a place of folklore that was derived from multiple cultures. This region was settled primarily by the following ethnic groups: Irish, Scottish, Germans, Spanish, Brazilians, Creoles (French and African) and Cubans. Pre-Civil War and especially during Reconstruction it was not uncommon to find minorities or immigrants running the households of the well to do in the South. And the well to do included people from the above mentioned ethnic groups, including Blacks. Yes, there were wealthy Black landowners in the 19th Century South. They helped rear children and often shared their stories, ancient folklore and even medicinal remedies with fellow Southerners and their offspring. So modern interpretations of stories such a Brier Rabbit, Don Quixote or Sleeping Beauty would have evolved from the infusion of European fairytales, Irish legends, Caribbean voodo and African Folklore. As far as Song of the South being racist, it was actually a depiction of Southerners as a whole. Which for many decades prior to the film were seen as uneducated, dirty and impoverished. The North had always looked down on Dixie because it was agricultural and not industrialized like the Northern states. And whether Black or White Southerners shared the same dialect as heard in this film clip, which seemed foreign to the Yankee states.
idec if the live action parts are controversial, the animated parts are some of disneys all time best
If somebody doesn't like this movie they don't have to watch it. It's my favorite Disney movie.
How I've loved this movie all of my life. Thank you.
Out of everything else in the film,this probably used to be my favorite.
1:32 I understand you,Brer Fox,you`re trying to be threatening but it`s just humor in a situation like this. No need to be suspicious.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO.MUCH!!! I've only seen it.twice but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Disney really need to release this movie, regardless of the incorrectness of some of the cultural depictions. It’s better the acknowledge wrongs so that aren’t repeated than to sweep them under a rug and ignore.
Sing of the South could be a great tool in education future generations on racial prejudices and the culture and history behind the stories of the BR’ER patch critters.
Br'er Rabbit's laugh at 1:50 sounds a lot like King Louie's from The Jungle Book.
They actually reused that laugh.
They recycled the sound into his laugh. But to me, this movie is much more of a milestone in Walt's career, since it was the first Disney movie to incorporate animation with live-action. I wish this were released on DVD!
Avi Greene but due to stupid Social Justice Warriors or SJW's for short thinking this movie is so racist I highly doubt it will ever get a DVD release SJW'S have to ruin everything for the rest of us I've seen this movie before and it really isn't that racist I think
Doug Crouse Seriously why couldn't Uncle Remus make it to Splash Mountain? SJWs or some people just find him to offensive?
Mick & Mr Triangle Productions that's actually a really good question never thought about that before but your right
I think it's a lovely movie.
Brilliant movie .
02:33 I love this scene
"I wanna see that laughing place!"
Nowwwwww I Wanna See That Laughin Place
Song of the South is on Vimeo!! Just saying for those who are interested.
I think these 3 characters deserve another chance from Disney. Whether that be a new animated feature or a TV show on Disney+, I don’t think they should be completely written off just because the first go-around was controversial. I also think they should make a documentary about the film, there’s lots of stuff that could be covered in it, but I doubt the current execs would be interested unfortunately. If I recall, the intention was for this film to be fully animated to begin with, but Walt’s desire to expand into live-action coupled with rough financial times for the studio changed that.
I guess my main point is, why not rectify the mistakes that happened with SotS instead of trying to act like it doesn’t exist even though it’s not exactly a secret?
Thoughtfully put. Thank you.
They deserve their own animated series with someone pretending to be Uncle Remus narrating each episode.
I truly love this! Awesome.
I love the kid’s expression of like are you insane old man.
A Disney classic, release on Blu Ray! Only an idiot was say it was “racist”. The black people in the film have the best characters. Uncle Remus is the most lovely, caring and kind character, enchanting the children with funny Brer Rabbit stories, and keeping them safe.
Or they are talking specifically about the Tar Baby, though it was not intended to be racist.
4:02 The curious look on Brer Foxe's face is priceless.
I love Splash Mountain!!
Me too! I wish they didn't remove it
Me: *watching movie for first time*
Johnny and Ginny: *crying*
Uncle Remus: *starts laughing*
Me: BRUH
I hate you
Dane Aune you too
Br'er Bear: Now Look You Said This Was A Laughing Place And i Ain't Laughing!!!
some of the most beautiful animation ever done...look at the postures and attitudes of the characters, and the cyclone animation of the bee swarm....truly a classic of Hollywood filmmaking and animation, that has been hijacked by p.c. posturing and liberal censorship. Disney needs to re-release this classic with a historic documentary. incredible cast and skillful art.
It's hard for me to compare this song to "I Love To Laugh" from "Mary Poppins"! They're both great!
At least officially release this segment. My favorite segment in the film. I’m half African American and think this film is important for animation history.
I loved this movie
Someone's favorite ride is themed after this movie.....
Someone owns a copy on DVD......
Someone also named their border collie uncle Remus......
Someone......
Or at least a black lab.
And I bet that someone is you
It's said that James Baskett spoke so fast that the animators had trouble syncing his voice with the animation.
