    I’m borne and raised in the south and I saw Song of the South when I was a very young child in the 1960’s and had no problem figuring out on my own that the Uncle Remus stories were how slaves kept alive the day that they would be free and slavery would be abolished. Also the friendship between races was possible. It breaks my heart to see people erase history because of their feelings. History is not for feelings, it’s to keep it visible so EVERYONE can learn and not repeat the mistakes. Song of the South is one of my favorite movies and I watch it at least once a year.

    Hattie McDaniel was the first black actor to win an Oscar. James Baskett was the first male black actor to receive one. While it was an honorary Oscar that Walt Disney campaigned for, it is still significant. The first male black actor to actually win the award was Sidney Poitier for the 1964 film Lilies of the Field.

      They have to do it first. If there were groundbreaking people before them, they no longer have the ability to get praise for their work. (Just like Captain Marvel, "We are bringing the first strong female to the big screen." Ripley says hi, Wonder Woman says hi, Storm says hi...) It's also why they keep getting more and more niche. First Black Captain in Star Trek? Already did it in Deep Space Nine. Female? Already did it in Voyager. Um... first Black Female Captain with vague sexuality? "We did that first!"
      In the long run this isn't about diversity this is about creating an approved image for every minority that exists. Any evidence that contradicts that has to go. It is racism plan and simple. Not against white people, against every group they claim to be the advocates for. (Ask yourself, How do they treat minorities that don't vote with them? That should tell you all you need to know.) Representation is code for how we want you to act. And if you don't fall in line, you are the enemy. (At least they don't discriminate enemies...)

    The removal of 'Song of the South' from the catalogue was the reason I bought physical media of the classic disney films so that my grandchildern, when they arrive, can watch them untainted. If one can go, so can others. The older the film, the bigger the chance that it could be seen as problematic that results in it been 'removed'. Many now have 'trigger warnings' at the beginning. It won't take much to pull the plug on these films and once they've gone they're gone.

An unrecognizable Tiana pops up throughout the ride and in the finale, she's dressed up for Mardi Gras. Big whoop! The point of the mountain in the bayou was a search for musicians and spice? So lame.

    Uncle Remus is the hero of the story. He is the one that is portrayed as the wise and loving adult that people respected and sought out for help. The other adults are silly and focused on things other than their loved ones. I believe THAT is why the movie and its characters are being erased.

    My parents met at Disney while working on this and Three Caballeros in the 1940s. There is nothing remotely racist about this film in my estimation all these decades later. Those who claim that it is most likely have never seen the film. What I take away from the film is a wonderful friendship that develops between a wise older man and a little boy who is in need of a friend and some answers to his confusing family situation. Uncle Remus finds just the right tales to tell Johnny to help him through the tough time and instill some problem solving. The last few minutes of the film are some of the most sensitive and emotional I’ve ever seen in a Disney film, and I always end up blubbering like a baby! I’m not buying the racism angle. But most people will never be given a chance to see the film. A pity.

    So, growing up, I never watched "Song of the South" I only first saw it 8 years ago on a pirate site. I watched it again about a month or two ago and yeah, it's a really good movie. I love Uncle Remus, I never really got a racist idea from the movie, most of my knowledge regarding racism seems to be from people who looked too deep into things or never saw the movie. I want this movie out of the vault, it has a positive black role model who constantly tries to steer a white boy in the right direction. Only reason I'm using skin color here is because the people who are erasing "Song of the South" hyper fixate on skin color. Heck, growing up, one of my favorite Disney Channel shows was "The Proud Family" and another is "That's so Raven", I know I'm pointing out shows with a different skin tone, but I need to show that the real racists are those that hyper focus on skin color instead of personality and character.

    I am a 64yo white male. I was raised in Houston and I count myself a conservative. While I recognize the portrayal of "happy blacks on the plantation" as troublesome, those wonderful old tales, born of African/Americans...and recounted by "Uncle Remus" in this movie, are wonderfully charming and amazingly creative considering the hardship from which they came. They are the very equal of spirituals, Ragtime, and early jazz. How dare woke Disney erase this wonderful legacy. In my mind, that is MORE racist than allowing these stories to be told.
    I grew up as a child seeing this Uncle Remus on TV. I never saw the entire movie...just his wonderful rendition of the theme song, and the animated tales on Sunday evening TV. As a child, I never looked at him as a black man or anything racist. I just saw a wonderfully endearing and sincere character. And THAT my friends, is what great acting is all about.
    I refuse to go back to Dismal World and I would certainly refuse to ride the revised Splash Mountain. No thanks.
    Please know, as I was raised in the 1960s, I saw real racism and I look back at it with great sadness. But it was the thing of the time in Texas. Things change. Wishing we could change those things that need to be changed, but keep the good traditions we always had. To me, that's what makes America really great.
