Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Eric Stevenson Let's begin Channel Awesome Month to celebrate their tenth year anniversary! This film was reviewed by Cinema Snob. It was great to see a movie so rare. Hey, they say that "The Day The Clown Cried" is going to be eventually shown sometime now! The best parts of this film are easily the animated bits. This is one of the earliest examples of animation blending with live-action and these are effects that really do hold up!Well, everything is CGI nowadays. I admit that the story could have been better, but Uncle Remus is still a good character. I managed to read a kid's book version of the bit with the tar baby. Kind of strange how one of the most seemingly offensive parts would be more mainstream. I guess the child actors could be better, but this is still quite fun. They actually rereleased this film half a dozen times and even have a theme park ride based on it! ***

Smoreni Zmaj One of my favorite childhood memories and one of Disney's masterpieces, far better than anything they are making today. Unfortunately, it is hard to find because Disney was forced to withdraw it... Why ?! Because movie is accused for racism and bad stereotypes. Movie was not directly forbidden, but whatever agency was in charge for this kind of stuff those days, they let Disney know that showing warm family atmosphere between slaves and their owners is unacceptable and can not be tolerated. I understand fights against discrimination and for equality and tolerance, but they really push it too far and destroy many beautiful things of great value by sticking to their principals. I mean... Disney did not come up with this story in 20th century with intention to offend black race. This movie is based on book that is written in year 1800. Should they raise author from the dead to change his novel, just because society circumstances are changed 150 years after ?! If this movie is offensive to black population because of slavery, then lets banish slaves from movies about ancient Greece or Rome, lets change the history. Ridiculous. This movie is not offensive discrimination, this movie is one of most emotional and beautiful masterpieces made for kids in history of animation.

bdhman77 It is an All-Too-American thing for people to just run their mouths and say anything & everything & pretend they know everything when in fact they never even are in a position to write an informed comment about something. Too all of you people who saying this film CONTAINS SLAVERY, even those of you who are writing positive reviews, please answer the following questions for you: (1)How on earth is it 95% of people on this fictitious plantation on this fantasy children's films are Black, and the only white folks on the plantation are 3 women and 3 children? One is an elderly woman I night add, and over at least 100 black folks! If it did "CONTAIN SLAVERY" like some of you think it does, it would make sense to have some Strong White guys with a whip walking around watching everyone don't ya think? (2)Why did Uncle Remus get up and leave the plantation and no one stopped him? The Fact is, just like Joel Chandler Harris' book "Uncle Remus: His Songs & Saying: Folklore of the Ols Planation" written in 1880, THE STORY TAKES PLACE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR, SO NONE OF THE BLACK CHARACTERS IN THIS FILM ARE SLAVES, but share-croppers & domestic-helpers. PLEASE GET THAT CORRECT! I'm not gonna spoil anything else about this film other than to say this is a very very culturally historic film for the following reasons: (1) African-American folklore was brought to the silver screen and presented as American- Folklore.(2) The Hero of this Plantation film set during the reconstructions era IS A BLACK MAN, AND THE NORMAL SMART FOLKS ARE BLACK FOLKS IN THE FILM.(3) It was a racially integrated film, were one of the protagonist of the film, little Johnny two best friends are Uncle Remus, and Toby.(4) Live actions animation(5) The voices of African-American actors being used for cartoon characters give the animation scenes an ALL-BLACK experience. And The Gullah accents really gives it essence, unique culturally & remains loyal to exactly how Mr. Handler Harris himself heard stories being told to him. (6) The Film, if you can just put your personal agenda's aside for one second, and just look at the film for what it was -- you'll have no choice but to come to this conclusion that African-Americans ARE THE SOUTH, AND THE SOUTH IS African-Americans culturally in every sense possible. African Americans REALLY DID IT ALL, THEY DID IT ALL, and everything is culturally rich about the South, is because of African-Americans.(7) The First Two African Americans to win an Academy Award were playing in this film opposite of each other.(8) Disney was so outraged at the racism that existed within the Academy Of Arts & Sciences at the time, that they didn't even nominate James Basket for an Oscar for his role as Ucle Remus, that HE USED THE POWER & MIGHT OF HIS COMPANY & LOBBIED VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE JAMES BASKET GETS AN Oscar FOR HIS PORTRAYAL OF UNCLE REMUS WHICH HAPPENS IN 1948, James Basket receives an Oscar for playing Uncle Remus in Song Of the South.I hope Diseny takes the advice of their African-American Legend Animator Flyod Norman and not only releases this film on DVD-Blu-Ray, but I think they need to do a re-make with Bill Cosby playing Uncle Remus while he is still alive.

moviesrme10 I had the chance to view Song of the South from a Chinese laser disk, and the film is excellent It's just too bad the film isn't getting released on DVD in the USA. The film is perfect Disney. The live action scenes are excellent, the acting is excellent the cast is excellent. Probably my favorite part of the film is the animated parts. The voice acting is great, and the animation is spot on. The whole animated sequences are excellently told. I just loved this film. I don't care how racial it can be taken as. Get over it, we were who we were back then. This film should not have to suffer in the vaults. If there is any film that should be kept in a vault in would be the ones with sex, violence all of this. But yet they are all out in the markets, being in the theaters and Song Of The South a sweet family film is being kept away. Give me a break Disney release the film already!
