Today marks the 61st anniversary of Song of the South, which premiered at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia on November 12, 1946.
For the 60th Anniversary last year, Song of the South Radio was launched as a special anniversary feature, with over 3 hours of vintage songs and radio advertisements for the movie. Well, it proved to be so popular we’re going to be keeping it around for awhile longer!
The 60th Anniversary DVD rumor came and went, and now that today marks 61 years, we can safely debunk that rumor. As you may have read, however, there’s a new rumor that we may see a DVD release in late 2008/early 2009, but only time will tell.
The petition continues to grow with over 123,000 total signatures. Yes, I’m going to shamelessly plug it again! If you haven’t signed it yet, you know what to do!
