To do this, all you have to do is e-mail me your full first and last name and also a middle initial (if applicable) or use the Quickform. I will publish it on the Song of the South Petition in about two to three weeks. Only you can help bring this movie back. SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO AHEAD AND E-MAIL ME OR GO TO THE Quickform.
STEP 2:
Let Disney know you want Song of the South to be released. Send a request to Disney's Movie Finder and let them know that you want Song of the South to be released on VHS and/or DVD. Thanks to Donald Miller we also have a phone number you can call to contact Buena Vista Home Entertainment: 1-800-723-4763 (Hours: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST) and request the release of Song of the South to home video and DVD.

Be sure to include why you feel that the film is significant culturally, historically, or aesthetically.
Step 5:
Enjoy UncleRemusPages.com. What else or you going to do while you're waiting for Song of the South to be released. I hope you enjoy this website as it is dedicated to Joel Chandler Harris and his stories. This website contains Song of the South film extras that can't be found anywhere on the Internet except here. Also, don't miss out on the many historical references, significant essays, articles and memorabilia contained here. Especially, Armand Gagnon's essay 'tales of Brer Rabbit, as spun by Uncle Remus (One viewers opinion)' which everyone should read.
STEP 6:
Tell as many people as you can about UncleRemusPages.com and how you are involved in supporting the re-release of Disney's Song of the South (1946).

If it was an either/or, I’d take Amos N Andy over Song of the South. I bought some legal videotapes a few years ago and they were great. The whole series is available on bootleg DVD, but I’ve never pulled the trigger. I do have Song on a PAL videotape, but I’ve never had it converted. I saw it in the theater in the early ‘80s, though.
The cranky side of me wants to say, “We’re losing our republic! Who cares about SOTS?” ;-D
