November 2, 1946 –
Walt Disney’s ‘politically incorrect‘ feature, the partially- animated film, Song of the South, was released on this date.
Widely regarded as a “pariah” feature of the Walt Disney Company, Song of the South has been primarily disowned by the company since the early 1990s out of fear for the controversy surrounding the film’s alleged racist undertones. The classic music, however, can still often be heard throughout the Disney theme parks and other various outlets – unknown to most younger generations who have no association with it.
