Song of the South. Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, etc.
A Disney movie that Disney doesn’t want anyone to remember because of the inherent racism. Using stories that originated during slavery, but setting the movie after the war to try to take the curse off.
It’s damn near impossible to get in the U.S., but easy to access via the high seas, and Disney uncharacteristically won’t go after you for it, because they don’t want to draw attention to it.
It incorporated some innovative techniques for blending live action with animation and has some value in terms of history of cinema. I don’t think it should disappear completely, but I do think it’s important to view it critically.
Personally, I found that apart from the racism, a lot of the writing and acting in the live action sequences was so absolutely terrible it was painful to watch.
