I got a copy from Japan where it was released into public domain. Showed to my woman and my daughter, both of whom had always heard it was pretty racist.
They were amazed and mad that they had been lied to. It is a very softhearted show, the story is good, and the black characters were universally decent, god fearing and kind. Black and white kids ran around playing together. And at the moment of high drama where a little white boy was on his death bed after an accident, everyone was praying, Uncle Remus came up and his stories woke the kid up.

This movie is an inkblot test. If you see racism, you are the A-hole.
Thumbs up!
Great excerpt. Just watched it.
