I FINALLY got to see this movie.

OK, I get they don’t like blacks being depicted “stereotypically”. But then, they don’t like when blacks are depicted other ways…that would be “unrealistic and downplaying the racism they faced” (see complaints about “Good Times” and “Cosby Show”).

But the black people are nice and accommodating, and the white boy likes the man. And the white boy becomes playmates with the black boy who gives him a toad. They sing together at the end of the story, going on playing integrated along with the white-trash girl.

BTW, the white-trash girl is shown as dealing with bully older brothers, who also pick on the main white boy.

So the worst people in this movie are white.

So glad our friend had this movie and we could watch it. ALWAYS long ago the Zip-e-dee-do-dah was shown on Disney specials - but NEVER showed the movie as a whole.
