Release Walt Disney's Song Of The South

Song of the South is a 1946 feature film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film is based on the Uncle Remus cycle of stories by Joel Chandler Harris. The live actors provide a sentimental frame story, in which Uncle Remus relates the folk tales of the adventures of Brer Rabbit and his friends. These anthropomorphic animal characters appear in animation. The hit song from the film was "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah", which won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Song and is frequently used as part of Disney's montage themes, and which has become widely-used in popular culture. The film inspired the Disney theme park attraction Splash Mountain.

The film has never been released in its entirety on home video in the USA,[3] because of content which Disney executives believe would be construed by some as racistblack people, and is thus subject to much rumor. Some portions of this film have been issued on toward VHS and DVD as part of either compilations or special editions of Disney films.

We the Disney fans have waited almost 30 years for Song Of The South to be released on home video but all we have seen are clips from the movie. This year  (2011) Song Of The South turns 65 years old and we the fans ask that you release Song Of The South on Blu-ray & DVD not just because it has never been released but because it's a part of Walt Disney Movie History & we hope that you find it in your hearts to open the Disney vault and release Song Of The South to the public. Thank you for taking the time and reading our letter.
