Song of the South is a 1946 American musical film produced by Walt Disney that blends live\u2011action footage with animated sequences featuring characters such as Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox and includes the Academy Award winning song Zip a Dee Doo Dah. The film has historically been categorized under the Family genre and was originally placed in the Family section to help users locate it through web searches. In the United States an official DVD release has never been issued by Disney because of longstanding concerns about the film\u2019s depiction of race and plantation life, and the title remains unavailable on authorized home\u2011video formats in this market. Despite the lack of an official release, a number of unofficial DVD copies and bootlegs have circulated among collectors, often presenting the movie in its original theatrical aspect ratio with the original mono soundtrack and occasionally supplemented by fan\u2011created extras such as documentary footage about the production, commentary tracks by film historians, and galleries of original concept art and promotional materials. The entry for this title was added to the iOctavio.com database on 2005\u201103\u201119, marking its inclusion in that catalog as a game\u2011type listing despite being a film. Highlights of the unofficial DVD presentations typically include the full musical numbers, the animated segments that showcase the folklore stories of Uncle Remus, the live\u2011action framing narrative set on a Southern plantation, and any supplemental content that the particular bootleg creator chose to incorporate. The combination of historic significance, controversial reception, and the absence of an authorized US DVD makes the title a notable point of discussion for collectors and scholars of Disney animation history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
