The film introduces us to Uncle Remus, a man that stays down at the fishing hole and is able to know many different small creatures, like Brear Rabbit and the small singing birds. You may think that someone in charge may have suppressed this film from coming back into mainstream, or that someone may have royalty rights tying things up, but whatever the reasons, you might never see this film again. I don't know why Disney can't go back and re-release this film. for what I assume has to do with racism and bigotry, which I happen to think is absolutely preposterous, since this was a wonderful film that everyone truly enjoyed. "All in the Family" and "Movin' on up"?-I rest my case. If you really look hard enough, you can find something that offends someone in every movie, sitcom or character-depiction. "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs" surely must be offensive to Dwarfs and Midgets and ordinary people with speech impediments by use of the cartoon character named "Dopey ". If some people feel the movie portrays african-americans in the South poorly, then why not ban actors, movies or TV shows that portray non-african-americans poorly like Don Knots, the 3 Stooges, Beverly Hillbillies, Abbott and Costello, The Honeymooners, Martin and Lewis, etc. The actor who plays Uncle Rehmus did a wonderful job and will never receive the credit he deserves because of a few inconsiderate critics of the content of the original movie. May be the only chance your kids will get to experience a snippet of the original "Song of the South" cartoon characters. Probably the best of the "sing along" series by Disney.
