The movie been controversial since it was released. Disney has always tried to be as bland as possible. That's what their customers want and expect.

Hey, at least you can buy the movie in this country again. I checked because late in the last century a friend of mine wanted a copy. I found it on the British version of Amazon and had it shipped from there. Amazon has it for sale in this country,
but it isn't being sold by Disney.

It's a real shame what happened to that movie. In some ways it was sort of a break through for race relations.

"James Franklin Baskett (February 16, 1904 – July 9, 1948) was an American actor who portrayed Uncle Remus, singing the song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" in the 1946 Disney feature film Song of the South.

In recognition of his portrayal of Remus, he was given an Honorary Academy Award in 1948, making him the first Black male performer to receive an Oscar.[1]

Career
Baskett studied pharmacology as a young man but gave it up to pursue an acting career. He first moved to New York City, New York, where he joined up with Bill 'Mr. Bojangles' Robinson. Using the name Jimmie Baskette, he appeared with Louis Armstrong on
Broadway in the 1929 black musical revue Hot Chocolates and in several all-black New York films, including Harlem is Heaven (1932).

He later moved to Los Angeles, California, and had a supporting role in the film Straight to Heaven (1939), starring Nina Mae McKinney. In 1941 he voiced Fats Crow in the animated Disney film Dumbo, and he also had bit parts in several B movies,
including that of Lazarus in Revenge of the Zombies (1943), a porter in The Heavenly Body (1944), and native tribal leader Orbon in Jungle Queen (1945).[2][3] From 1944 until 1948, he was part of the cast of the Amos 'n' Andy Show live radio program as
lawyer Gabby Gibson.

In 1945, he auditioned for a bit part voicing one of the animals in the new Disney feature film Song of the South (1946), based on the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris. Walt Disney was impressed with Baskett's talent and hired him on the spot
for the lead role of Uncle Remus. Baskett was also given the voice role of Brer Fox, one of the film's animated antagonists, and also filled in as the main animated protagonist, Brer Rabbit, in one sequence. This was one of the first Hollywood portrayals
of a black actor as a non-comic character in a leading role in a film meant for general audiences.[4]

Baskett was prohibited from attending the film's premiere in Atlanta, Georgia, because Atlanta was racially segregated by law.[5][6]

Although Baskett was occasionally criticized for accepting such a "demeaning" role (most of his acting credits were that of African-American stereotypes), his acting was almost universally praised, and columnist Hedda Hopper, along with Walt Disney, was
one of the many journalists and personalities who declared that he should receive an Academy Award for his work.[7]

Academy Honorary Award
On March 20, 1948, Baskett received an Academy Honorary Award for his performance as Uncle Remus.[8]

He was the first African-American male actor to win an Academy Award. Additionally, Baskett was the last adult actor to receive an Honorary Oscar for a single performance.[9]"

"The score by Daniele Amfitheatrof, Paul J. Smith, and Charles Wolcott was nominated in the "Scoring of a Musical Picture" category, and "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah", written by Allie Wrubel and Ray Gilbert, won the award for Best Original Song at the 20th
Academy Awards on March 20, 1948.[68] A special Academy Award was given to Baskett "for his able and heart-warming characterization of Uncle Remus, friend and story teller to the children of the world in Walt Disney's Song of the South". For their
portrayals of the children Johnny and Ginny, Bobby Driscoll and Luana Patten were also discussed for Academy Juvenile Awards, but in 1947 it was decided not to present such awards at all.[69]"

"The film has sparked significant controversy for its handling of race.[72][73] Cultural historian Jason Sperb describes the film as "one of Hollywood's most resiliently offensive racist texts".[74] Sperb, Neal Gabler, and other critics have noted the
film's release as being in the wake of the Double V campaign, a propaganda campaign in the United States during World War II to promote victory over racism in the United States and its armed forces, and victory over fascism abroad.[75] Early in the film'
s production, there was concern that the material would encounter controversy. Disney publicist Vern Caldwell wrote to producer Perce Pearce that "the negro situation is a dangerous one. Between the negro haters and the negro lovers there are many
chances to run afoul of situations that could run the gamut all the way from the nasty to the controversial."[13]

The Disney Company has stated that, like Harris's book, the film takes place after the American Civil War and that all the African American characters in the movie are no longer slaves.[7] The Hays Office had asked Disney to "be certain that the
frontispiece of the book mentioned establishes the date in the 1870s"; however, the final film carried no such statement.[12]

Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., a congressman from Harlem, branded the film an "insult to American minorities [and] everything that America as a whole stands for."[76] The National Negro Congress set up picket lines in theaters in the big cities where the film
played, with its protesters holding signs that read "Song of the South is an insult to the Negro people" and, lampooning "Jingle Bells", chanted: "Disney tells, Disney tells/lies about the South."[76][77] On April 2, 1947, a group of protesters marched
around Oakland, California's Paramount Theatre with picket signs reading, "We want films on Democracy not Slavery" and "Don't prejudice children's minds with films like this".[78] The National Jewish Post scorned the fact that the film's lead was not
allowed to attend its premiere in Atlanta because of his race.[79]

Criticisms in the black press largely objected to the reinforcement of stereotypes, such as the subservient status of black characters, costuming, the exaggerated dialect, and other archaic depictions of black people.[61]"

Too many old time and current black actors and notables are being
cancelled. Hattie McDaniel, Franklin Baskett, Aunt Jemima, Zoe Saldana,
Steve Harvey, even Tiger Woods among others. The only history these
pandering loons don't want to rewrite is slavery because for the time
being it still serves their divisive agenda.

These things happened or existed and erasing them from history won't
change that.

The only person on your list who has any claim of being cancelled is Baskett. They didn't really cancel him. They cancelled the racist stereotype he represented in one movie. They killed Aunt Jemima because she was a racist stereotype. Do you miss
her and wish she would come back to pour her sugary goodness on your pancakes? Nothing lasts forever. Time moves on. They can't keep putting Aunt Jemima on the grocery shelves just to satisfy your insane sense of history.

The rest of those people, except for Hattie, are still working and would be surprised to learn that they have been cancelled. She had a long and successful career. I saw Hattie on TV recently in her most famous role. She couldn't go to the premier
of that movie for the same reason as Baskett in the same town.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoe_Salda%C3%B1a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattie_McDaniel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Harvey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima

"Aunt Jemima is based on the common enslaved "Mammy" archetype, a plump black woman wearing a headscarf who is a devoted and submissive servant.[3][13] Her skin is dark and dewy, with a pearly white smile. Although depictions vary over time, they are
similar to the common attire and physical features of "mammy" characters throughout American history.[24][25][26][27][28][29]

The term "aunt" and "uncle" in this context was a Southern form of address used with older enslaved peoples. They were denied use of courtesy titles, such as "mistress" and "mister"."

I wouldn't be too worried about Song of the South. Once it's out of copyright it will be all over the place. They love it in the South. My friend who wanted a copy was from GA. He told me that all those famous lynching that happened in the South
were retribution because those guys had raped White women..

is Baskett. They didn't really cancel him. They cancelled the racist stereotype he represented in one movie. They killed Aunt Jemima because
she was a racist stereotype. Do you miss her and wish she would come back
to pour her sugary goodness on your pancakes? Nothing lasts forever. Time moves on. They can't keep putting Aunt Jemima on the grocery shelves just
to satisfy your insane sense of history.

The rest of those people, except for Hattie, are still working and
would be surprised to learn that they have been cancelled. She had a long
and successful career. I saw Hattie on TV recently in her most famous
role. She couldn't go to the premier of that movie for the same reason as Baskett in the same town.

"Aunt Jemima is based on the common enslaved "Mammy" archetype, a plump
black woman wearing a headscarf who is a devoted and submissive servant.[3][13] Her skin is dark and dewy, with a pearly white smile. Although depictions vary over time, they are similar to the common attire
and physical features of "mammy" characters throughout American history.[24][25][26][27][28][29]

The term "aunt" and "uncle" in this context was a Southern form of
address used with older enslaved peoples. They were denied use of
courtesy titles, such as "mistress" and "mister"."

I wouldn't be too worried about Song of the South. Once it's out
of copyright it will be all over the place. They love it in the South. My friend who wanted a copy was from GA. He told me that all those famous lynching that happened in the South were retribution because those guys
had raped White women..

You just don’t get it. Wipe the rose colored fog off of your glasses and clear it out of that pea brain of yours.

Since you're so bright maybe you can explain "it" to us? Maybe you could explain how any of the people on your list were in some sense "cancelled"? I'm not expecting a real answer because you have even fewer of them than me. As usual, all I
expect from you is more bullshit.

"Steve Harvey is an American Actor, Comedian, Entertainer, Film Producer, Screenwriter, Radio personality, Author, TV Personality, Television producer who has a net worth of $200 million." Tiger Woods is expected to hit a record $1 Billion, with a 'B",
in total earnings soon. Zoe is making more Wakanda movies. Hattie worked for pretty much her entire life.

Even if I explained it to you, you would have to understand it for
yourself. I can't do that for you.

IOW, instead of a few answers, as usual, you have none.
