BW’s Saturday Article Link> Song Of The South In The National Film Registry?

That’s the goal of one animator. For most of my childhood, the above song from the Mickey Mouse Disco album (which I think I still own) was all I knew about the song. I did see a Br’er Rabbit storybook in a hair salon or something, and I think I saw the clip of Uncle Remus singing the song in some compilation or history piece, but even before the ban for being “controversial” I never saw it air anywhere. Now there’s a push to nominate Song Of The South, the tale of a storyteller working on a Reconstruction era plantation telling stories to kids, for inclusion in the National Film Registry. While Disney has buried it since they can’t do one of their major re-edits, even black people on the left understand the true importance of the movie and want it released again. It’s about time it was. I’d like to see it.
