[About the (possible) re-release of Disney's Song of the South]

Okay, so, Song of the south is a VERY important subject for me. I love the Brer Rabbit stories with all my heart and for years---YEARS---I've been telling anyone who will listen about how Disney is/was actively suppressing its release. From Shareholder meetings to denying Roy Disney's own request when Eisner was in charge, the House Of Mouse's top brass have always been needlessly ashamed of this film. Denying it's place in history whilst still managing to milk it via the Splash Mountain juggernaut. Figure that out.

There are HUGE misconceptions with the movie that have been taken as fact over the years, too!

- There is no form of slavery depicted in the film
- There is no mention of Race
- Thee is no forced servitude.

In fact, in the story, Uncle Remus decides, completely of his own free will, to leave the plantation setting with no repercussions or reprisals from its owner.
