Song Of The South
Film and Television
Former CEO, Bob Iger, confirmed at the annual shareholder’s meeting on Wednesday (March 11th) that Disney’s Song of the South will not appear on the Disney+ library.
Although Iger was speaking at the meeting, this information was in response to a question about Disney’s full catalog appearing eventually on Disney+. Iger stated at that time Song of the South would not appear.
The 1946 live-action/animated movie has taken much criticism for its controversial depiction of black people. The film is set on a Georgia Plantation post Civil War.
Iger stated the film “is not appropriate for today’s world” and “won’t be rereleased”. Some debate swirled around a possible disclaimer reading “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions”. But, Iger further confirmed, even with a disclaimer, the movie would not be included. (Source: deadline.com)
