Song of the South 1-Disc Box Set DVD

Song of the South is a hybrid live-action and animated feature from 1946 set on a postbellum southern American plantation, following a young boy whose visits with the broader storyteller Uncle Remus produce a series of animated tales drawn from the broader source folktale tradition that include the famous misadventures of Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, and Brer Fox. The tone strikes a complicated balance between warm framing-story affection and the more energetic broader animated sequences. Watching it feels like a foundational historical artifact of the studio's broader catalog.
