Late 1946 Large Release. Moderate Acceptance – Directed by Harve Foster – More – Language English |
Song of the South Song of the South is a feature film produced by Walt Disney Productions, released on November 15, 1946 by RKO Radio Pictures and based on the Uncle Remus cycle of stories by Joel Chandler Harris. It was one of Walt Disney's earliest feature films to combine live action footage with animation and was the first Disney feature film in which live actors were hired for lead roles. The live actors provide a sentimental frame-story, in which Uncle Remus relates the folk tales of the adventures of Brer Rabbit and his friends; these anthropomorphic animal characters appear in animation. The film is often the subject of controversy, because of content which is considered by some to be racially insensitive towards African-Americans. It has never been officially released on DVD or home video in the USA, and is thus subject to much rumor and speculation.
