Also, can you imagine Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Monty Python’s Holy Grail, Peter Sellers The Party or Dr. Strangelove, or a host of other comedies from days gone past being made today?
Maybe it’s a little on the old side for many, but I like to remember “Song of the South” which may not be comedy, but should bring thoughts of joy and happiness to the minds of all, but unfortunately is locked up pretty tight, when it comes to a re-release. Uncle Remus, brer rabbit, the tar baby, and the music, I grew up with. So I guess that means Walt and all of us seniors are just a loverly bunch of coconuts.
What’s ironic is that the stories told by Uncle Remus were about wisdom. He’s an admirable character, an American Aesop, and not an object of ridicule.
Social Marxists were able to ban Song of the South through their endless charges of racism, but their success is due to the cowardice of Disney in caving to them.
I have a bootleg copy on DVD. :-) I think it was probably contraband from Europe.
