'Way back there, when OWW was a kid, the "Walt Disney Show" used to broadcast some of the Disney movies as specials, running for two hours, including commercials.
One of those marvelous movies was "Song of The South" - great music, and a good story line.
When "Song of The South" was released, in 1946, the critics loved it, and movie-goers went to the local theatre to see it.
Now, with every movie under the sun available on tape/DVD, you can't find a legit copy of "Song of The South".
Why?
One theory that has the ring of truth is that the Disney Corporation looks at "Song of the South" as causing great controversy - if they release it to home video, it will be widely condemned as "racist" or "inappropriate".
That's very sad, from my point of view.
Because I just remember "Song of The South" from a kid's perspective. Great songs, good characters, and a decent story line.
What else do you need, eggs in your beer?
