Meanwhile, Johnny meets a poor white girl (Luana Patten), who &#8212; against her bullying brothers&#8217; wishes &#8212; gives him a puppy. Trouble arises when Johnny&#8217;s mother (Ruth Warrick) refuses to allow him to keep the puppy, and &#8212; thinking Remus&#8217;s stories are giving Johnny fanciful notions &#8212; asks them not to spend time together.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>\n<strong>Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>African-Americans<\/li>\n<li>Animated Features<\/li>\n<li>Deep South<\/li>\n<li>Folk Tales, Fairy Tales, and Mythology<\/li>\n<li>Friendship<\/li>\n<li>Musicals<\/li>\n<li>Plantations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Review: <\/strong><br \/>\nDisney&#8217;s <em>Song of the South<\/em> remains one of the most controversial films ever made, due to its depiction of slaves on a southern plantation as seemingly happy and content.  In truth, however, it&#8217;s one of the milder <a href=\"http:\/\/cghs.dadeschools.net\/african-american\/twentieth_century\/cinema.htm\">portrayals of African-Americans<\/a> to come out of early Hollywood, and is certainly less offensive than, for instance, the slaves in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=41976\"><em>Gone With the Wind<\/em> (1939)<\/a>, who are portrayed as either comic, ignorant, bossy, servile, lying, and\/or lazy. While Uncle Remus is (on the surface) subservient to his mistress, he&#8217;s ultimately shown to be a savvy, independent man with an enormous heart. Most impressive of all, however, is <em>Song of the South&#8217;s<\/em> depiction of interracial friendship as both acceptable and normal; Warrick&#8217;s complaints about who Johnny spends his time with have more to do with class than race &#8212; and the only reason she doesn&#8217;t want him listening to Uncle Remus&#8217;s stories is because she believes they&#8217;re giving him &#8220;fanciful notions&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Critical opinion on <em>Song of the South<\/em> these days remains divisive, with Disney purportedly holding back on a DVD release for years due to fear of p.c. repercussions. It&#8217;s my belief, however, that parents ought to be allowed to make up their own minds about how (or whether) to show this film to their children: with an age-appropriate disclaimer about the film&#8217;s depiction of slaves (which, by the way, would be an excellent starting point for broader discussions on the topic, as well as a critical analysis of the Br&#8217;er Rabbit tales), kids will likely enjoy the film, and relate to Johnny&#8217;s travails.  As a narrative, <em>Song of the South<\/em>is ultimately too schmaltzy for its own good, but does feature some enjoyable animated sequences (which no Disney fan will want to miss), and a truly noteworthy performance by Baskett as Uncle Remus. It&#8217;s devastating to know that Baskett &#8212; despite winning an &#8220;honorary&#8221; Oscar &#8212; couldn&#8217;t attend the film&#8217;s premiere in Atlanta because no hotel would rent him a room; it appears that adults of the day were unable to take the film&#8217;s lessons about racial tolerance to heart. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Believe it or not, <a
