Rating: - A wonderful family film that is being missed by so many
I am 38 years old and remember seeing this wonderful movie in the theater when I was around 10. I thought it was a wonderful story and fell in love with all of the characters. I loved hearing Uncle Remus tell his stories and if there was any portrayal of racism, which I never really think it does, what this film taught me was that you should never treat someone poorly just because they are poorer, a different color or from a different background than you. I wish my children could see such a classic ... Read More
Rating: - Would love to see it again! ARE YOU LISTENING DISNEY!!!
You know when I watched this movie as a child I had no thought what so ever of racism...all I saw was a kindly old man telling wonderful tales.
I would dearly love to see it come out on dvd, and sit down and watch it with my grandkids.
Rating:  - Release for education, not for entertainment
I don't really believe any movie, book, or any other work of art should ever be withheld because it sparks controversy; indeed, Song of the South should be discussed in terms of history of film, America, and race. The problem is in the packaging and marketing.

It's difficult to acknowledge that things we loved as children ... Read More
Rating: - Ridiculous to keep this out of circulation
Perhaps Gone With The Wind (one of the greatest novels of all time) and Uncle Tom's Cabin should also be removed from circulation. The past is the past and a great piece of art is a great piece of art. I don't mean to be insensitive, but is everyone really this delicate? Disney seems to think so, which seems to me to be more patronizing than anything in this film.
Rating: - What's on television is more offensive and damaging.
I never understood why the movie had so much negativity attached to it. Here is how I remember the movie I saw. It was wonderful story set in America's past at a time when slavery existed. The story showed a wonderful storyteller, his stories and love between people without regard for their race or stature, in a time where all of that was very prevalent. It was showing a positive side of the era. At least that is the feeling I got from it as a young boy and still feel that way today. To me there are far ... Read More
