Song of the South Ratings & Reviews
rachelsreviews.net
Rachel Wagner
I found it to be thoroughly lame.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
The film is not racist, but it stupidly regurgitates the old myth of happy, singing slaves who just love working on massah's plantation.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Apparently the Disney wonder-workers are just a lot of conventional hacks when it comes to telling a story with actors instead of cartoons.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The central drama is only intermittently successful, and not only because any rational modern viewer will be seriously put off by the jolly racial ignorance of it all... but its heart is in the right place.
COED.com
Phil Villarreal
It's a complicated and challenging film that deserves discussion rather than burial.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Nothing about the film is particularly famous (save for the often debated subject matter), though the unforgettable song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" has miraculously survived.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Better save this for nostalgia only -- kids won't be missing anything if they never encounter this relic.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Jas Keimig
Insidiously racist, pulling from minstrelsy and depicting recently freed Black slaves as kindly old Magical Negroes. I got the shivers watching the film...
Los Angeles Free Press
Robert Sullivan
The film has some beautiful animated sequences with Bre'r Rabbit and Br'er Fox, but the bad in the film would seem to outweigh the good.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Warrants watching for its misguided naive look at slavery.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
Full of Disney charm - but sadly weighted down with problematic racial stereotypes and tropes - it serves more as a look at Disney history than the family film it was meant to be.
TV Guide
Song of the South's cartoon sequences are as fine as anything produced by the Disney animators.
