"BOBBY DRISCOLL: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" EPISODE 64 - “BOBBY DRISCOLL - STAR OF THE MONTH” - 12/02/2024 BOBBY DRISCOLL's name may not be too familiar anymore, but in his heyday, he was the male equivalent of NATALIE WOOD. He was one of the most talented and prolific child stars of the 1940s and 1950s. His descent into darkness should serve as a cautionary tale to all of the stage mothers out there who think their kids will be the next big thing. Sometimes, there is a price to pay for fame, and it ain't always pretty. Join us as we discuss the tragic life of child star Bobby Driscoll.

This is a long one because Rob is gonna tell you the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about Disney's Song of the South. Rob holds no punches and gives you the complete history of this film. We look at it all from its roots with Joel Chandler Harris and the Tales of Uncle Remus and the impact those stories have had on the literary community. We even have multiple critics of Harris give their two cents. We examine Walt Disney's Wish to make the Song of the South Trilogy and how multiple versions of the script were made with an army of different consultants including a literal Communist being brought in to make sure the film wasn't remotely Uncle Tomish. We examine how some felt this film was propaganda of the Double V Campaign to the NAACP's View that Disney had weaponized Uncle Remus against the African American community. We even examine Disney's use of the property decades after the film. It is the team's effort that this is objective, fair, and a proper history of the intent and heart of this incorrectly maligned film. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink.

"Song of the South" is a 1946 American film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film is based on the Uncle Remus stories written by Joel Chandler Harris. The film features a combination of live-action and animation, and tells the story of a young boy named Johnny who visits his grandmother's plantation in the South and befriends a kindly old black man named Uncle Remus, who tells him a series of stories about the adventures of Brer Rabbit and other characters. The film was a commercial success and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song for the song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". However, the film has been criticized for its depiction of African Americans and the use of racial stereotypes, and has not been widely released or shown on television since the 1980s due to concerns about its portrayal of black people. "Song of the South" is considered an important film in the history of American cinema for several reasons. Firstly, it was one of the first films to feature a live-action and animated elements, which was considered a new and innovative technique at the time. This blend of animation and live-action set the stage for many of the Disney films that followed, and helped establish Disney as a leader in the animation industry. Secondly, it was one of the first major Hollywood films to feature a primarily African American cast, which was significant as Hollywood at the time was very white-dominated. However, as mentioned before it has been criticized for its depiction of African Americans and the use of racial stereotypes. Lastly, the film's Academy Award-nominated song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" became a hit and is considered a classic song of the Disney canon. Despite its historical significance, the film's portrayal of African Americans and the use of racial stereotypes has led to it being largely unseen in recent years and not widely available for viewing.
Stacey and I tackle this movie and tie in race relations and go from there with our opinions of this movie .. Trigger warning please be very careful when you listen to this episode ... 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 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. Check WV Uncommonplace https://linktr.ee/wvuncommonplace

Jessie returns to gab about some Disney news. We talk about some of the drama that was building because of Chapek. People be wanting to boycott James Gunn. Is Kathleen Kennedy leaving Star Wars? Patty Jenkins breaks silence on what's going on with Rogue Squadron. Canceled X-Men movie details come to light. And a new competition begins on Social Media!
What is the most controversial movie of all time? It might be some of the films we've already talked about but Walt Disney's post Civil War live action/animation hybrid Song of the South is definitely part of the conversation. It hasn't been released theatrically in the states since 1986, before some of us were born. Does it deserve to remain in the Disney Vault like images from Fantasia, The Rescuers and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Or should it be widely available for the public to decide?Tune in as Mike and Trevor discuss the problematic nature of Joel Chandler Harris' tales of the south, Walt Disney's history with and surrounding the film and how it led to one of Disneyland's most beloved attractions.Warning!! The following episode involves several serious and ugly topics including slavery and racism. If you're looking for a more whimsical Disney review, unfortunately you'll have to look somewhere else.

With news that Splash Mountain will be rethemed based off of Princess and the Frog, Clayton and I wanted to go over the history of Splash Mountain from inception to its final closure to celebrate its 30+ year run as a crowd favorite. We wanted to start this history by appropriately covering the history of Song of the South, to get a better understanding of what is driving the retheming. Song of the South, which the ride is loosely based on, was released 75 years ago was widely celebrated for its blending of live action and color animation but also widely criticized for its depiction of African Americans. We discuss the background of the movie, Walt Disney's love for it, the criticism it received and it's difficult legacy.Email any comments/questions/Disney-related stories to makeitmagicalpod@gmail.com!

Even specialists in African-African history could be forgiven for drawing a blank at the mention of the name of Indianapolis native James Baskett. In spite of being the first black male actor to win an Oscar - for a role in which he sang a song that also won an Academy Award - Baskett's place in the annals of African-American history seems to be largely forgotten. That's because the role for which Baskett won his honorary Oscar was that of Uncle Remus in the much maligned, now virtually banned film Song of the South. The Disney musical was a modest hit when it was released in 1946, but changing sensibilities about race over the past three quarters of a century have made the film toxic to the image-conscious studio. Disney chose not to release the film for home viewing during the 1980s VCR boom; nor did they cash in on a DVD release in recent decades. With the 2019 advent of the Disney+ streaming service, Song of the South once again found itself locked out of the Magic Kingdom. And not without good cause. Film critics and historians have condemned the film's sweetly nostalgic portrayal of the social hierarchy of Reconstruction-era South. As Guardian film blogger Xan Brooks put it recently, "the film trades in a dubious form of myth-making - implying that African-Americans stuck below the Mason-Dixon line were a cheerful bunch who liked nothing better than going fishing, spinning tall tales and looking after white folks' kids." The very title of the film and its focus on song can be viewed as perpetuating a racist myth. As 19th century abolitionist Frederick Douglass - who himself escaped slavery - commented, the singing of enslaved people in the Southern United States was not evidence of their contentment or happiness. "It is impossible to conceive of a greater mistake," Douglas wrote. "Slaves sing most when they are most unhappy." But does the film deserve to be virtually banned, especially when a novel like Gone with the Wind and its 1939 film adaption - with all their racial stereotyping, glorification of white privilege and perpetuation of the myth of the "happy slave" - are still held up as classics? Does Song of the South have anything to offer the modern viewer? Does the legacy of Hoosier James Baskett deserve to be reevaluated? These are the questions explored by Hoosier History Live associate producer and guest host Mick Armbruster in this encore of a show that first aired in January of 2020. Mick is joined in studio by two guests: Film historian Eric Grayson, who specializes in the collection and preservation of vintage films; and Ophelia Wellington, director of Freetown Village, a living history museum she founded in 1982 out of a desire to teach African-American history. The show also looks into how Baskett's portrayal of the Uncle Remus character might teach us something about the role of folklore in African-American culture, and explore how the content of his tales - with their focus on the archetypal trickster Brer Rabbit - can be traced back to folklore found among native cultures in Africa. And while the discussion may not leave listeners whistling "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," we hope it does give them an appreciation of the legacy of Hoosier James Baskett and a more nuanced understanding of the film he starred in.

Ooit kocht ik de VHS van Song of the South, een Disneyfilm die in 1946 al berucht was om haar raciale vooroordelen. In de VS is de film zelfs nooit op video verschenen en ook op Disney+ is het een opvallende afwezige in de beschikbare catalogus. Voor aflevering zes van deze podcast bekeek ik deze beladen film samen met muzikaal wonder Charlotte Adigéry: een zelfverklaarde Disney-fan, ook al kon ze zich moeilijk identificeren met die vele, witte tekenfilmprinsessen.
This week John & Steve are joined by Brandon & Mike from the "From the Heart, For the Heart" podcast.

Thank for the gentlemen from "FTH,FTH" for joining us this week to have an engaging and necessary conversation.
Disney recently announced the retheming of Splash Mountain. As a supplement to our main show about Splash Mountain this special bonus episode explores the changes we expect, why is it here, when will it be here, how does it fit in to each respective land at Disneyland and Walt Disney World? We also discuss some of the backlash caused by this announcement and some potential slippery slope changes on the horizon at our beloved theme parks. Join Jimmy, Dan and Erik as we explore the possibilities and determine what makes a true log ride once and for all. Will Karen make an appearance, you'll have to listen to find out! Also, Jimmy recounts his interview with a current Disneyland Cast member who shall remain nameless but rather go by the pseudonym, "Horace Vandergelder" Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I'm joined with Shawn Orlando to talk about the recent news of Splash Mountain being replaced with a Princess and the Frog attraction.This an episode that will be paired with the previous Disney & Diversity episode seeing as this will probably be a topic that continues to come up as the landscape of the Disney, theme parks, and it's fans are becoming more diverse. I hope you enjoy this difficult, yet important continuous conversation.
Dan and Mike get into a deep discussion over Disney's recent announcement they are reimagining their Splash Mountain attraction featuring songs and characters from the 1946 film Song of the South.According to the Disney Parks Blog, the new theme will be based on the 2009 Disney animated feature film The Princess and the Frog. Some have criticized the timing of the announcement in light of recent protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.Is this just a quick fix by Disney? Will it have any impact on structural racism? Will people even care?Dan and Mike share their thoughts on this episode of the Oh Brother podcast.

Song of the South is a movie that Disney would hope you don't know exists even though they rereleased it more times than Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, and Fantasia combined. Thankfully, your hosts know better and dig this movie up as they discuss slavery, the antebellum and post civil war South, and the bad luck of certain child actors. Follow Us!
