song of the south

this is one of the top five movies of all time. I saw it as a child and am now 64. I remember the scenery and the songs vividly. There should be no reason why Disney cannot reissue this, at least on video. It is a wonderful story for children of all ages. This has always been my favorite. All the characters are wonderful. Please let Disney know how many people will be pleased if they open the vault and sell this again, at any price! I want my grandchildren to become acquainted with these characters. Thank you

Disney's Song of the South

I wish Disney would re-release this video. I am thirty years old and remember watching the film numereous times as a young child. It was one of my favorite childhood movies. It also contained some of my favorite childhood songs. I think it is a disgrace that Disney would remove this movie from circulation due to pressure from a small minority. I think most people would find this movie entertaining and its a shame that the majority must be ignored to appease a small segment of the population. For anyone to say that this movie was racist is ridiculouos.

One of the BEST children's movies of all time!

I'm 32 years old and can remember seeing "Song of the South" many times as a kid. To this day I still don't see what is wrong with the movie, it is VERY entertaining. I'm from the South (Texas to be exact) and I don't see anything racial about the movie. People must realize and remember how long ago the Uncle Remus books were written. Think of them as a History Lesson and not an epitath or slur. There is NOTHING wrong with reviewing and discussing our history as long as we don't repeat it. I sure do miss seeing Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear, and "Zip-pa-dee-do-da" is still one of my FAVORITE all time children's songs. SO DISNEY, PLEASE RE-RELEASE THIS WONDERFULLY CLASSICAL CHILDREN'S MOVIE. It woulld make a lot of us happy, especially if we could add it to our Disney Video Collection.

Pleas re-release Song of the South

Please re-release Song on the South, It was the very best movie in the world.I am 56 years old, and I took my children when they were small, and they remember the film so well. I even still sing Zip a dee do da, to my grandchildren,Please who ever reads this at Disney, Please re-release this film.It is really a classic...Thanks,Diane

An outstanding story that is timeless.

As a child this storybook was my absolute favorite. Memories of my grandmother reading these stories and sharing the lessons they taught are priceless. My favorite book is no longer with me and there seems to be no chance of replacing it. What a sadness that I cannot share these stories with my grandchildren, and the lost is felt by us all. I find it hard to believe that this literary treasure is being denied to countless people everywhere because some people with their narrow minds want to make something bad out of something as wonderful and loved as Uncle Remus's beloved stories. If we continue this type of censure it will not be long before many more literary works will be lost to us. The Executives of Disney, as well as others involved, are losing sight of the true spirit of this classic, as well as that of Walt Disney and what he stood for. Please stop this craziness and bring back Uncle Remus to us! We miss Brer Rabbit, and Brer Fox!
