DVD

I have a DVD of the complete SONG OF THE SOUTH,apparently put out by Disney itself. An"extra" is the cartoon COAL BLACK AND THE SEBBEN DWARFS(1943), which was NOT a Disney cartoon but a WarnerBrothers/Bob Clampett.

Also includes a 15 minute radio publicity show, hosted by songwriter Johnny Mercer and includes comments by Walt Disney himself and the child actors in the cast. The songs are re-sung by The Pied Pipers.

That DVD is a bootleg, not produced by Disney. The fact that it includes a non-Disney cartoon as an extra is a good clue that Disney didn't make the DVD. Toughpigs (talk) 15:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I picked it up at Academy Records--West 18th Street--Manhattan 198.23.5.11 (talk) 12:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it'a bootleg. Harryhenry1 (talk) 14:27, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-I'm confused as to why it would be controversial to suggest that a movie that does not mention the Confederacy, has no references to the Civil War and is set during the Reconstruction era is not relevant to a movement that attempts to glamorize the Confederacy. They're two entirely separate and unrelated topics. It would be like linking [[salt]] to ''[[Chocolat (2000 film)|Chocolat]]''. [[User:RockabillyRaccoon|RockabillyRaccoon]] ([[User talk:RockabillyRaccoon|talk]]) 21:32, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
-:There is a paragraph about this movie in [[Lost Cause of the Confederacy]]. Like you, I'm confused why it's there. But if that material remains there, it makes sense to link to it as a see also entry. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 22:57, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
-So, should discussion about the movie be removed from the Lost Cause page? [[User:RockabillyRaccoon|RockabillyRaccoon]] ([[User talk:RockabillyRaccoon|talk]]) 17:04, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

-:I've thought long and hard about this. It's taken me a while to get to this point because initially I was thinking "wth is THAT doing in the 'See also'?" but in my opinion I think it should stay. Mostly because objections to the movie - both recent and when it premiered - are usually based on its (some would say perceived, some would not) romanticization of a time in American history when a people were being held in bondage. Regardless of Joel Chandler Harris's original intent when he wrote these stories and they were published, the When of the movie's events isn't readily apparent to viewers...during Reconstruction, before the Civil War, the '''when''' of the movie is amorphous. The Lost Cause mythos relies heavily on returning to a time in the past, to a time when "the South will rise again", to a time that is perceived as being of the time of Song of the South.
-:I also think the Song of the South section in the Lost Cause article should remain. [[User:Shearonink|Shearonink]] ([[User talk:Shearonink|talk]]) 21:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
