Walt Disney's Uncle Remus Foreword (1945)

Celebrate stolen history by nominating a classic film, Song of the South, to the National Film Registry as Woke Disney is purging every aspect of it from existence. In theory, that's why the National Film Registry exists.

Walt Disney's Song of the South is the first Technicolor feature film made that blended live action with animation throughout the film.

The popular song Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah won the Oscar for Best Song. Woke Disney has purged this song from the theme parks and elsewhere. This is the definitively most popular Walt Disney song ever written.

Actor James Baskett is the first black actor to win an Oscar and it was for this film! He was honored with an eternal Oscar for his portrayal of Uncle Remus in Song of the South.

James Baskett is also the first actor to be put under contract by Walt Disney and the first black actor to be given a seven year contract with any film studio.

Actor Nick Stewart played Br'er Bear, started the Ebony Showcase Theater with the earnings from this film. He returned to play Br'er Bear again in Splash Mountain and remodeled the theater. He was a Civil Rights pioneer and said "Walt Disney treated us like kings."

Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel plays a major character in this film. She's the first black actress to win an Oscar for Gone with the Wind.

The characters from this film were a major part of Walt Disney's stable of stars and he frequently revisited them again and again in his television, commercial, publishing, theme park ventures and more.

The Uncle Remus stories were very special to Walt and so was this film inspired by them.

Don't let Woke Disney erase important black, American, and cinematic history!
