I love "Song of the South." It bothers me that it is seen as being racist by some. The African American characters are the smart interesting and caring characters in the film. Outside of the Grandmother, the white characters have a lot of problems. It's the white characters that are mean (the two bullies), selfish (the boys father), and bland (the boys mother). Yes, it takes place during a time of American history that we all wish would have been different, but the stories have some wonderful morals.
I sure hope that they do release it on DVD.
