Walt Disney Co.’s 1946 film “Song of the South” was historic. It was Disney’s first big live-action picture and produced one of the company’s most famous songs — the Oscar-winning “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” It also provided the inspiration for the Splash Mountain rides at Disney’s theme parks.

Disney’s 1946 movie Song of the South will not appear on the media company’s new streaming service, Disney+.

The Oscar winning film follows the story of Johnny, who befriends a character called Uncle Remus after moving to his grandmother’s plantation.

Song of the South, which has never been released on VHS or DVD in the US and has supposedly been locked in a Disney vault since the 1980s, depicted African American people as being happy to work for white masters.
