I think that was a joke. efb, got distracted by the snopes article about it never being released on home video due to NAACP complaints (basically true, has never been released in the US but complaints weren't necessary because duh) McSpanky fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Aug 9, 2017 |

I had Song of the South on video when I was little. I don't remember anything from the live action bits other than the wee boy getting trampled by a cow or something at the end.

The only really good take-away from Song of the South is the song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. There's really nothing else that memorable in it.

I wonder if they'll ever try to "reboot" Splash Mountain if they got some newer characters who'd fit it. Could you do a Moana-themed Splash Mountain?

Because they're more like the original shorts and less like the Mickey's Clubhouse/House of Mouse stuff that's been the norm the last 30 years. They intentionally go back to that tone of the early Disney shorts that were such an integral part of the early years of animation. Where Mickey actually has a personality and Donald is an uptight ball of anger that explodes at the drop of a hat and Goofy is... well Goofy has pretty much always been exactly the same.

I have vague memories of loving Song of the South as a kid and lots of weird white guilt about that as an adult. Like, I don't remember poo poo about it and I know kid me didn't know what the gently caress a "tarbaby" was or a minstrel show. But it still kind of bugs me. There's a small question I have in the back of my head about why my very not racist parents were cool with me watching it. That one's never really going to get answered. I also really liked the crows from Dumbo.

Song of the South is mostly just super boring, and this is coming from someone who loved watching The Wonderful World of Disney and their old live-action stuff like 20,000 Leagues. The animated bits are the only worthwhile part of it and they put them in the sing-along tapes I grew up with.

The biggest problem about Song of the South isn't what's actually in it. It's what it glosses over, sanitizes, or just flat out omits. If you were watching it without all of the cultural context you have today you'd probably not notice anything too out of the ordinary for something made in the '40s. It's not like you're going to get the kind of blatant in your face racism that is something akin to even the famous Censored 11 Looney Tunes in Song of the South. This movie has a different kind of problem. Which may even be worse depending on the way you look at it.

X-O posted:On DisneyLife, the Eurorpean service, you can watch everything from Snow White to Tron to Fun and Fancy Free to Turner and Hooch to Saludos Amigos to Remeber the Titans to Little Mermaid to Black Cauldron. It's all there. Even the direct to video sequels to the classics like Bambi II or any of the Aladdin sequels are there if you want to watch them for some crazy reason.

Calaveron posted:I've never seen Donald not being a white hot ball of anger It's been a little inconsistent over the years going from angry to just crabby for a while. In the new cartoons I'd say it's the the point it he needs serious anger management and counseling. In one cartoon they have Ludwig Von Drake suck the anger out him with some wild experiment of his but it manifests into a Hulk like creature that pretty much wrecks everything in sight. There's also a good one that's specifically about how people perceive Mickey as a pushover that's too nice and he tries to rebel against that to disastrous results.

As someone who has a child that will be 4 in 2019 you can bet your rear end I'll gladly pay $10-15/mo for access to Disney's back catalog, if only so that she doesn't get into a pattern of wanting to watch the same movie again and again and again (she probably will anyway, I just hope it's Aladdin and not, like, Pocahontas).

I'm the same with the Brer Rabbit stories. I don't think I ever saw the SotS movie as a whole but those stories were part of my childhood. I'm not clamoring that they were somehow sacred and should be brought back or anything, just something I didn't learn the context for until quite a bit later.

I want them to revive Darkwing Duck, and by revive Darkwing Duck I just mean remaster it and start airing it again. DuckTales is one of my favourite shows of all time, but I'm worried about the revival. Hey UK goon, is Gargoyles on the streaming service?

Color Printer posted:Yeah it's kinda bugging me that Netflix is either losing the clout, the money, or the willingness to get content from providers.....and it's probably mostly the latter. Like Food Network pulled out pretty much all their poo poo near the beginning of this year. I wasn't done watching Cutthroat Kitchen, you assholes! Netflix clearly saw this coming considering the absurd amounts of shows they themselves push out annually.
