Surprising no one, Disney's announced Song of the South will never be on Disney+.
Platinum
what a shock

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that this IS a shock to some people.

Yeah, the comment section was full of whining about forced LGBT content and how Disney obviously doesn't understand the context and they're erasing much needed "upstanding" African-American people.

lmf it's so sad that they actually had to make a statement about this
SWORD ZELDA
like everyone with half a braincell knew song of the south would never be on Disney+

the venn diagram of "less than half a braincell" and "likes song of the south" has a lot of overlap

I liked it when I saw it, but I also saw it when I was, like, six.

And you can't really expect a lot of social awareness from a six year old in 1994.

yeah, it's like...the standard high disney quality of the era but OH GOD THE RACISM
6LilacMimeLions
it's not like fantasia where there's one iffy segment, it's baked into the whole thing
6LilacMimeLions
it's like how the ww2 looney tunes stuff is really well-done but irredeemably racist
Platinum
A lot of WWII stuff, really.
6LilacMimeLions
