“Song of the South” has been eliminated from their catalog, I think.
It’s in the vault. The parks make reference to the characters (Splash Mountain), but they dare not re-release it. At least not in this environment. Too bad, because it’s one of the best examples of combining live action and animation until “Mary Poppins “ came out in ‘64. And Walts “nine old men” were at their peak of talent when it was made. By all accounts those movie reviewers who have been allowed a screening rave about it. (with the proviso that it should be viewed as “a product of the age it came from”. Wimps).

I waited forever for it to be re-released so that I could enjoy it with my son the way I enjoyed it as a child. It never did.
I would hate to suggest acquiring a bootleg copy of any movie, but I will say that I have watched Song of the South with my (now 34 year old son) within the last year. And the movie was as poignant as ever. My son loved it. It is a tragedy that a whole generation of children have been raised without ever knowing the gentle wisdom of Uncle Remus... a real shame. And Disney keeps it locked up out of a misguided sense of PC. The movie didn't even portray a time when there was slavery.
