O.K., enough already. Several comments regarding this movie (most, but not all from those who argue it should be censored, ergo not released again by Disney in any form) contain erroneous so-called "facts" about the movie. Here is the truth:
There are NO slave characters in the film. Several comments about this movie go on and on about it containing "slaves." Wrong, wrong, WRONG. The movie is set AFTER the civil war. That is fact. The African Americans at Miss Doshy's plantation are working employees, NOT slaves. Yes, the film is set during the Jim Crow era, and one can argue that the general quality of life (in terms of housing and education in particular) of the African Americans shown was not much better than that of pre Civil War slaves, but to imply the African Americans in Song of the South are chained, whipped and ordered around by nasty white "owners" is ridiculous. Are there one or two situations in the film where an African American shows a certain level of "servitude" to a "white manager"? Yes, but to define that as "slavery" is erroneous spin.
The words "massa" is never used by anyone, much less Uncle Remus. Several comments here state or imply African Americans in the film refer to the whites as "massa." That is completely false. That term is NEVER heard anywhere in the entire 93 minute film.
Uncle Tom is NOT "ignorant." He is defined that way in several comments. Why, I don't know, but how anyone can sit through this wonderful film and be completely ignorant of the intelligence, compassion and common sense shown by the Uncle Remus character (at a level frankly higher than that of any white character in the film) is completely beyond me.
Bottom line: the minority that attacks this film is running with a PC agenda that depends upon on your buying spin and erroneous "fact." Don't fall for that - it's a classic film that overall provides a positive message to any honest viewer with an open mind.
