About this deal

Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear also appeared in the 2011 video game Kinect: Disneyland Adventures for the Xbox 360. The game is a virtual recreation of Disneyland and features a mini game based on the Splash Mountain attraction. Br'er Rabbit helps guide the player character through that game, while Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear serve as antagonists. The three Br'ers also appear as meet-and-greet characters in the game, outside Splash Mountain in Critter Country. In the game, Jess Harnell reprises his role from the attraction as Br'er Rabbit and also takes on the role of Br'er Fox, while Br'er Bear is voiced by James Avery, who previously voiced Br'er Bear and Br'er Frog in the Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain. This is the Br'ers' first major appearance in Disney media and their first appearance as computer-generated characters. The Splash Mountain log flume ride, which opened at Disneyland in 1989, and at Tokyo Disneyland and Magic Kingdom in 1992, is based on the animated portions of Song of the South. As with the film, the ride had drawn controversy over the years due to the racial issues associated with the work. Amid the George Floyd protests in 2020, Disney announced that they will retool the ride in Disneyland and Magic Kingdom to remove the Song of the South elements and replace them with a concept based on Disney's 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. Disney stated that development of the project began in 2019. [85] The New York Times reported that Disney executives had privately discussed removing the attraction's Song of the South theme for at least five years, before putting into development the Princess and the Frog theme. [86] In July 2022, Disney announced that the new ride will be called Tiana's Bayou Adventure and will open in both parks in late 2024. [87] The Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain closed in January 2023, [88] while the Disneyland version closed in May 2023. [89] Kaufman, Will (2006). The Civil War in American Culture.

Nothing has really changed, although the specific details vary a bit. theres obvious whitewashing, things weren't really this tension free post slavery between jim crow and lots of other things, so let's not try to look at this as an accurate account in any way shape or form for the actual time period, but let's instead look at it in the context of the time the movie was filmed, as I'm sure most watching this are.

If you tally up every single slave brought to the New World (Includes North America, SOUTH AMERICA and ALL the Islands around & in between starting from 1525 and ending in 1866 For those who haven't seen the film, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song for "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," the movie is a combo of animation and live-action, with a story based on Joel Chandler Harris' "Uncle Remus" books. In the movie, a young boy named Johnny (played by Bobby Driscoll) gets told stories that teach him a number of lessons from former slave Uncle Remus (James Baskett).

You Won’t Find it on DVD

It was a film he really wanted to do," recalled Diane Disney Miller, daughter of Walt Disney. "My dad quoted so much from Uncle Remus’ logic and philosophy." [22] [23] Song of the South is a feature film produced by Walt Disney Productions, released on November 12, 1946 by RKO Radio Pictures and based on the Uncle Remus cycle of stories by Joel Chandler Harris. It was one of Walt Disney's earliest feature films to combine live action footage with animation and was the first Disney feature film in which live actors were hired for lead roles. The live actors provide a sentimental frame story, in which Uncle Remus relates the folk tales of the adventures of Br'er Rabbit and his friends. These anthropomorphic animal characters appear in animation.

For context, I am white, in my 20s, European and not from an English-speaking country. I had seen, heard and read many bad things about it, justifyably so, but I wished to see it for myself. I'm glad it is available here for free. Gabler, Neal (2006). Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination. Vintage Books.

Head, Steve (November 20, 2010). "Disney Producer Encouraging About 'Song of the South' Release". The Post-Movie Podcast . Retrieved November 16, 2011. Harrison's Reports praised Driscoll and Baskett's performances, particularly the latter writing "his tender understanding of the child's problems gives the picture many appealing moments." Overall, the review felt the film had "a simple but sensitive and pathetic story, filled with deep human interest and fine, clean comedy situations, and it has an air of wholesomeness that comes as a pleasant relief from the general run of pictures nowadays." [60] Dorothy Masters of the New York Daily News wrote: "Although plot is practically ignored, Disney has worked a lot of magic with brilliant animation, effective and wonderful music, besides having made the very best possible choice for Uncle Remus. James Baskett, who portrays the sagacious dean of plantation workers, has both the benign appearance and mellifluous voice to make him the perfect spinner-of-tales. It's largely through his philosophical whimsy that Song of the South is so delightfully charming." [61] Columnist Hedda Hopper also praised Baskett's performance, and advocated for him to receive an Academy Award. [62] However, if you have any doubt as to whether Song of the South will ever be available for streaming, listen to former Disney CEO Bob Iger. In March 2020, when asked whether the film would see a release, he described it as “not appropriate in today’s world”. He confirmed it wouldn’t be suitable for release even with an “outdated cultural depictions” disclaimer. I grew up in the 90's watching songs like Zippity Doo Dah on Sing-Along-Song tapes but with none of the context of the actual film. Here on Archive.org was the first time I've actually had the opportunity to watch the film in its entirety. It's an excellent piece of film history. Amazing that this was Walt Disney's first live-action film. Let's not forget, this is NOT a documentary, it was a fictional film and a musical. Obviously it was going to depict things in an artificially rosy light. As all musicals do. Do you honestly think that chimney sweeps in Edwardian England went around dancing and singing happily as they toiled away on the roof tops at night? Most of them were child laborers working for pennies a day. The Music Man was a happy little film about a man committing felony fraud on an entire town's population. Biron, Phineas J.
