Well, I do hope Disney does release SotS. I can't remember having seen it, except endless loops of Zip-aDee-Doo-Dah and that was always delightful to me. Of course, I'm not an African American. Now, if they add some kind of contemporary intro to the film, what's the big deal? I'm not sure what is so offensive about it since I've not seen it.

American film is rife with non-PC material, a good deal of which has been or is still currently available on DVD and in libraries. Birth of a Nation is an obvious example. Naturally, this film does not get the rental a Disney film would. I think presented with taste and consideration they could do it.

Alex, I love Holiday Inn (but not really the Abraham blackface number, not one of Bing Crosby's more stellar moments) Then again, what's the Mickey and Judy Busby Berkeley blackface number? Then there is Al Jolson in Going to Heaven on a Mule, now that IS offensive.

Do we know if Song of the South is even in the discussion of being released pipeline?
