Sorry to offend, but I loved that movie as a kid. “Zippity-do-dah, zippity yea, my o my what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine...”
I last saw Song of the South in a theater in the early 1970s. Since then it has been banned.

That song alone has created many other songs of the simple peace the thoughts and feelings expressed. Like Johnny Mercer’s “Moon River” with his boyhood reflection on the warm days on the river picking huckleberries with his “Huckleberry friend....”
And a modern one note there is no “race” — this is Southron.....from J.J.Cale’s writing here performed by the late Tom Petty and Eric Clapton: The Old Man and Me
