One of the "Saturday Morning Funhouse" cartoons Robert
Smigel did for Saturday Night Live was called "Inside
the Disney Vault" in which two kids meet up with Mickey
and see forbidden footage, like the "original uncut version of
Song of the South" which alleged that Disney was racist
(not sure if he was or not). It had Uncle Remus singing
"Zippity doo dah, zippity ay. Negroes are inferior in
every way..."

I thought I saw Song of the South back in the 80s at a
theatre (was re-issued)
>>1986.
that must have been when.
A bunch of cartoons from other studios have been shelved
for similar reasons, like Warner Bros. Merrie melodie's
"Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves". Some Tom and Jerry
cartoons (Hanna and Barbera, when they worked for MGM)
would show a (stereotypical) black maid, etc. I've seen
some Looney Tunes where Bugs Bunny outwitted a black
character who was seen as dimwitted or addicted to
gambling. (I think one of the characters in "Coal Black"
had dice for teeth)
These days Disney Channel has at least one show focusing on black characters, The Proud Family.
I'm surprised that Uncle Walt's alleged pedophilia wasn't skewered, too.
