Walt Disney's nightmares about stomping an owl to death.
Disney's cinematic attack on venereal disease.He'd also like to whisper in your ear seventeen forbidden Disney tales, including: Korkis covers much more tawdry territory than just Song of the South in this book. For those confident of an eventual re-release, Disney CEO Bob Iger advises: "Don't expect to see it again…ever."īut even if you can't watch Song of the South, you can still read about it-and what a fascinating story Korkis spins, covering everything from the original Uncle Remus stories, the behind-the-scenes politics and problems of filming what was even in the 1940s a sensitive issue, and such topics as Walt Disney's alleged racism, the hypocrisy of Splash Mountain, and a provocative Disney skit on Saturday Night Live. The last time Americans could legally watch Song of the South was in 1986, before Disney pulled it from cinemas. Jim Korkis chronicles the sad ballad of this forbidden film, lynched by the politically correct and banished to the deepest, darkest depths of the Disney vault for its "racist" storyline. Disney thinks that you can't handle Song of the South, a film that Walt Disney himself championed from contentious start to controversial finish.
