I think that 'Song of the South' can also be seen in a positive manner. Uncle Remus' character is the hero of the story. Uncle Remus' character is a main character. That wasn't often seen on the big screen back then, it could be seen as empowering in that way. But I do see how the stereotypes of these former slaves being happy and singing songs post-slavery can be seen as offensive.
