Anyone think we will ever see this on DVD?
Disney recently had it restored and they're lightening up on the radical PC-ness.I was watching Silly Symphonies last night and was suprised by the intro Leonard Malten did for The Three Little Pigs. He mentioned that in the scene where the wolf disguises himself as a Fuller Brush salesman, they drew him as stereotyped Jew. He said that some, today, thought this showed Walt was anti-semitic, but it wasn't the case, he was only reflecting the attitudes of the day, and we must view the film that way. That's exactly the case with Song of the South, so hopefully Disney is lightening up on this attitude.

Yes, Disney's attitude towards this film is odd, especially where the soundtrack is concerned. They have no compunction in liscencing out the rights to it, especially "Zippa-De Doo-Dah", which is covered by a variety of bands, even by the Fabulous Thunderbirds in recent days.This should not be surprising considering that we're talking about a company that gives "Fantasia" a politically-correct ax-chopping and then has the audacity to claim that it's "original" and "uncut".
The words that I have for Disney and its political correctness will not be said here, as they'd get me kicked off.
Maybe John Stoessel of ABC can do a "Give Me A Break" segment on 20/20 about Song of the South.Lol. 20/20 is on ABC who is owned by...DISNEY!
In other words; Ain't gonna happen.:b
Disney seems to be positive, despite assurances from the NAACP that they will get taken to the cleaners if they re-release the film.They'd like to THINK that they could take Disney to the cleaners anyway. Why can't these people realize that if they don't like it, they don't have to buy it?
Disney is doing a great disservice to the rest of the world by not releasing this and by their continual PC-editing of other cartoons and movies. Just because a vocal few are hypersensitive does not mean that the rest of the world should be deprived of the privilege of watching this movie - if anything to let people decide the nature of the movie on their own without others forcing it on them.
**sigh**
This rant has ended. Go in peace.

You're obviously not keeping up with the dominant theme in contemporary American politics.
