After listening to this podcast and spending time on fan sites like this I wanted to ask you guys here at Disney Wiki about one of Disney's most controversial movies: Song of the South. For those who have seen it or just heard about it and the controversy around it in general, what are your opinions? Is it offensive? What's keeping Disney ffrom releasing it on DVD/Bluray officially? Should it be released? Why are things like Splash Mountain and Zip-a Dee Do Dah "okay" and still popular today but the movie that these things are from "bad" and should be hidden forever (according to Disney, it seems)? I have yet to see the movie all the way through, but when I do, I'll share my opinons.
I noticed there wasn't much of a discussion on it here, unfortunately, so that's why I was curious.
