Controversial Disney Movies That Disney Wishes You Would Forget

‘Song of the South’ (1941)

Disney

The story goes that when Walt Disney saw “To Kill a Mockingbird,” he was so moved by the film’s weighty themes that he wanted to make his own movie about racism in the Deep South. But because he was Walt Disney, his version features a cartoon rabbit and some odd moralizing that has aged poorly. “Song of the South” continues to be an embarrassment for the company, locked away in the Disney Vault seemingly forever, and reports suggest that the film will not be released on the upcoming streaming service Disney+ when it arrives in the near future.
