I wonder how it will look by the end of year. well, even if this isn’t the proper restoration that should be like the previous restorations, and even if a proper re-release is still easier said than done, I’d say that this is somehow the next best thing.

I mean if Disney is really so hell-bent on keeping this film away from the general public, why would they bother restoring it? I think this is a good sign.

Could Iger and his executive may be secretly planning to release it to the public in the future? Hey, it took until 1992 or 1993 to release "Snow White". And then they released "Victory Through Air Power"(a WWII era documentary film) Don't buy into what Iger says at shareholder's meetings. What is said publicly is not necessarily what is really going on behind closed doors!! If Disney claims they want to “hide” the film from the public then why are they restoring it?

Song of The South is still my favorite child hood movie. My grandchildren ages 16 & 19 have watched it all of their lives, and still do. I just sent a copy to my Grandaughter in college! All of my neices and nephews grew up with the movie. I have recently had some not so good news regarding my health, but on the way to work this morning on XM Seriusly Sinatra of all places, Uncle Remus greeted me with How do you do? When I heard Uncle Remus singing Zippa De Do Dah, I knew all was right and it was gonna be a Wonderful Day. Come on people llisten to the REAL moral of the story. This same group of Disney execs are the one that allowed the inane movie about David The Bubble Boy( whom I have known since birth) be made and sent out into the world. They truly hurt David's family...but I believe we had the last laugh, because it was a universal flop as it should have been. Walt Disney has probably clawed the lining out of his casket over this bunch of clowns! I grew up listening to Uncle Remus on the radio. Song of The South is still my favorite child hood movie.

Maybe it'll bring tears to their eyes like it still does mine. Uncle Remus did more good for race relations in the United States during one screening of "Song Of The South" than the NAACP has done in it's entire sorry history of crying racism.
