This is an issue that says a great deal about those who would make it an issue. Uncle Remus is shown as a decent, kindly story teller. A kind voice representing the tradition of kindly intentioned story telling! How does that depiction offend anyone with decent or honorable intentions?
Iger needs to be asked what he has against the tradition of such story telling. No apostle of good will should allow this to go unchallenged!
Wonder if Nikki Haley is on the Disney board advising Iger...
This all makes me wonder if that “segment” (not the chinese techies here on HB1 Visas, but those with kin in the Indian tech sector back in India, and “Bollywood” movie industry that Disney subcontracts to).
This scene from The Man Who Would be King-— the dude gets into the wrong train compartment, and West ejects East:

Big movie makers like Disney ceased considering Americans their primary audience long ago.
They make more money overseas than they do here, so they bow to the cultural prejudices of wherever the money is. And dot India likes to see native white America as racist, witness Nikki Nimratta Haley. We had a President just like that very recently...
Are there any DVDs of it?
I have an original tape of it which I digitized and transferred to my google drive.
I have a copy on my Google drive that you can download for free.
They have mentioned re-theming Splash Mountain.
Rewriting history never goes well.
Good thing I have the Song of the South DVD.
I have it on DVD. From MANY years ago.
Do you know where I might find one?
You could try Ebay?
The irony is the “bad guys” in the movie were a couple of young mischievous white brothers.
