It’s sickening how they demonize completely benign, innocent movies.

I agree. I haven’t seen the movie in many years, however, my recollection is that the Uncle Remus character was a kindly old man, not in any way a stereotype of a shiftless black man. He told stories which impressed the white children and taught them certain life lessons through storytelling. Why is his character offensive?

Song of the South also has a place in film history, in terms of the mixture of animation and live action, which was very difficult to accomplish with 1940s era technology.

But none of that matters. The idiots who run Disney feel the need to be politically correct, and embargo one of their own most historic movies.
