Song of the South

Song of the South is a movie produced by Walt Disney. It was released on November 12, 1946, by RKO Radio Pictures. Song of the South was re-issued to theaters in 1956, 1972, 1980 and 1986. It is based on the Uncle Remus stories written by Joel Chandler Harris.

Song of the South has never been fully released on home video in the USA because of content which some people could see as racism towards black people and is thus subject to rumors. However, a song from the movie, Zip a Dee Doo Dah, is very popular and there is a ride based on the movie at various Disney theme parks, though it was recently announced that it will be changed to a ride based on The Princess and the Frog as a result of the George Floyd protests. The movie only got a home video release internationally. This makes Song of the South the only Disney movie to not be released on North American home video.
