Disney could re-release “Song of the South”


The 1946 Disney film “Song of the South” was Disney’s first big live-action picture and produced one of the company’s most famous songs — the Oscar-winning “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” It also carries the story line of the Splash Mountain rides at its theme parks.

But the movie remains hidden in the Disney archives and is criticized as racist for its depiction of Southern plantation blacks. While the 60th anniversary of the film was last year, it wasn’t until recently that Bob Iger (Disney’s CEO) commented that the company is considering releasing the film.
