Disney fans have been wondering if the 1946 Disney film Song Of The South would ever be included on Disney+. Well, the answer to that question is no. The film will not be appearing on the streaming service, even with an ‘outdated cultural depictions’ disclaimer.

Executive Chairman Bob Iger recently confirmed this, saying that this particular movie is “not appropriate in today’s world” and won’t be re-released.

The live-action/animated musical film is set on a plantation in Georgia after the Civil War, and its depiction of black people is extremely controversial.

The film is based on the Uncle Remus stories about the ingenious bunny Brer Rabbit. “Following the separation of his parents, a young boy goes to live in the American South. There he meets Uncle Remus, who gives the boy valuable insights into his problems via the stories he tells about Brer Rabbit.”

I haven’t seen the film since I was a kid and I’m not sure people are clamoring to watch the movie again. It’s really not surprising that Disney doesn’t want to re-release this movie. What do you all think?
