The Song of the South was banned by the politically correct censors who run Disney. It's a shame that such a cool movie was taken from us. If it offends you, don't watch it, but don't tell me I can't watch. And if something you like offends me, I won't watch, but I will never try to force you to stop watching what I don't like. It's called freedom...

Disney has never released it to DVD, because many people believe that the movie is racist.

Its banned in the US for a racial slur. I'm pretty sure the kids call Uncle Remus an old "coon" but my husband thought they said old "coot" so I don't know. You can get it in the UK and if you can find someone to convert it from PAL (UK) format to NTFS (US) you can get it. Ebay is a great place to find it.

I absolutely love that movie. The blacks felt that it made fun of them (the way they talked). I think it just reflects their heritage and they need to be proud of it. Anyway, that's why it's not for sale anymore.

A great film, indeed, but we aren't allowed to enjoy it anymore.
Have you noticed that Blazing Saddles is basically gone the same way...?

Some minority group thought it was racist b/c the black boy didn't go to the white boy's birthday party. Too bad, I liked that movie and I disagree that it was racist.

Two words: LATENT RACISM.
Unca Walt didn't mean it, but the Song of the South was (partly) in praise of the Southern (latent racist) society...IMNSHO, of course.
Oh - one more thing: "Don' throw me inna dat briar patch...!"

They still make figurines and stuff. You could probably find it on Ebay.
