Recently, Song of the South has been featured in three news articles:
- The most recent article, published today in The Boston Globe, is entitled “‘South’ Deserves A Fresh Look” written by Renée Graham. It’s a great article and definitely worth a read.
- Yesterday saw the column “Black To The Future” posted over at Jim Hill Media. The author, Floyd Norman, discusses “the fateful day that he brought Uncle Remus out of retirement” during his days as a writer in Disney’s publishing department. Another great read!
- On January 31st, The Kansas City Star featured Song of the South in the article “Disney Headed ‘South’ For Live-Action Movie.” They chose Song of the South as their fifth featured Oscar-winning movie in their “Month of Oscar” countdown. (Free registration required.)
In addition to the above articles, several other news sources have picked up on Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook’s hopeful comments regarding Song of the South (see Jan. 1 news below). All of the above, combined with SaveDisney.com’s recent article, has brought unprecedented traffic to SongoftheSouth.net, but more importantly, has kept Song of the South in the public eye. Thanks to Rebekah Moseley, Ryan, and Merlin Jones for reporting these news articles to me!
