Song of the South Turns 65

"Uncle Walt" reads the Uncle Remus stories to Bobby Driscoll and Luana Patten.

Today marks Song of the South’s 65th anniversary. Song of the South premiered at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia on November 12, 1946. This year we haven’t seen any special collectibles commemorating the anniversary like we did for Song of the South’s 60th, 55th, and 50th anniversaries, but that’s not to say Disney won’t pull something out of their hat. Also of note:

  • Since Song of the South was added to Facebook in August, there are 408 people who like the movie, and we’re sure there are more. Please spread the word!
  • The Song of the South Petition has gathered 33,756 signatures so far. Let Disney know you want this movie to be released!
  • SongoftheSouth.net turns 11 today! This web site was officially launched on November 12, 2000. A lot has changed since then, but one thing remains the same: we’re still waiting for Disney to release this movie!
