Original: Song of the South released in 1946 Just How Racist Is ‘Song of the South,’ Disney’s Most Notorious Movie? Source: https:

Disney's 1946 film Song of the South is back under scrutiny, with renewed discussion of just how racist the studio's most notorious movie really is. The film, which has never been released in full on home video in the United States, has long been criticised for its romanticised portrayal of the plantation-era South and its depiction of Black characters in the years after slavery.

Why now: Renewed criticism and debate over the film's racist portrayals keep drawing attention to Disney's decision to keep it shelved.
