Full Plot Details

After the Civil War, down in the Deep South state of Georgia, a little boy named Johnny (Bobby Driscoll) is excited about a trip to visit his grandmother living on a rural cotton/tobacco/rice/pecan plantation. However, his visit soon turns painful as he learns that his parents are separating, and his dad returns to Atlanta. Determined to run away, he starts off for Atlanta with all his possessions in a bag. As he starts leaving the plantation, he hears Uncle Remus (James Baskett) a slave at the plantation, telling a group of people stories about Brer Rabbit. He stops to listen, and people start looking for him. Uncle Remus reassures them he knows where the boy is. Then he befriends Johnny and thru his Brer Rabbit stories convinces him to stay at home. Johnny befriends a little girl named Ginny. She gives him a puppy, and her older brothers want to drown it. Uncle Remus once again saves the day with his stories. Johnny's mother gets angry because Uncle Remus kept the dog, so she demands he not tell any more stories. Uncle Remus, unhappy about the way he's being treated, leaves for Atlanta. Johnny chases him and is injured by a bull. Although he almost dies, one of Uncle Remus' stories pulls him through.

Movie Reviews

The Spectator - 7/10 by Isabel QuiglyIf the market were there, what a joyous series of ten-minute cartoons on Uncle Remus themes he could have produced! As it is, Song of the South is neither fish, fowl nor good Brer Tarrypin.
Cinema Crazed - 7/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Warrants watching for its misguided naive look at slavery.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Charles SolomonSong of the South is essentially a nostalgic valentine to a past that never existed, and within those limits, it offers a pleasant, family diversion for holiday afternoons when the children get restless.
Film Threat - 5/10 by Phil HallWhere Song of the South errs badly is in its regurgitation of the horrible myth that black slaves were always singing and happy and just loved working on massah’s plantation.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Dave KehrThe stories are pretty good folk, though a little too coyly calculated. But the plantation stuff is beneath contempt. Better save this for nostalgia only—kids won't be missing anything if they never encounter this relic.
Cinema em Cena - 5/10 by Pablo VillaçaA visão deturpada de uma vida feliz de escravidão compromete o filme, mas sua história lúdica e simpática, ressaltada pelo carisma de Baskett, acaba nos conquistando.
Time Out - 4/10 by Trevor JohnstonThis rather mushy combination of animation and live-action remains one of Disney's most controversial efforts.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Bosley CrowtherApparently the Disney wonder-workers are just a lot of conventional hacks when it comes to telling a story with actors instead of cartoons.
User Review - 10/10 by Frank PFive stars just for taking me waaay back to my youth.
User Review - 10/10 by Dax BIt is unfortunate that so many people consider this film racist. The movie is not trying to make any kind of statement about slavery; it is simply a man telling stories. We should watch this movie and enjoy the songs and animation! I hope the Disney company ends their banishment of this film so we can truly enjoy it.
