Movies
So Dear to my Heart
Bambi
Snow White
Dumbo
(Wind and the Willows-was made into a movie later combined with the Legend of Sleepy Hollow)
Song of the South
Pinnochio
The Three Caballeros
There are NUMEROUS shorts that I know or have seen
Ferdinand the Bull (1938)
Three Blind Musketeers
1. Never seen So Dear to My Heart- I would if they ever put more of it out, right? Ugh. It was one of the very few originals. Why don't they have it out?
2. I love Wind and the Willows combined with Sleepy Hollow, saw it like 2 years ago. 2 words, BING CROSBY!!!!!
3. Song of the South (along with Dumbo it gets a bad rap for being racist BUT, if you do your research- they were just keeping to what you may have found...especially in Dumbo-those crows yips were stuff off of backstage talk of like say Louis Armstrong record)
4. They need to promote more stuff like the Three Caballeros.
5. Blind Musketeers! There is countless others but some unusual ones I noticed. And who knew Ferdinand the Bull?

Song of the South: Laughing Place
Song of the South is considered a racist film and is not shown anymore. It is not PC correct. The worse crime is though is that white people have looked at it as a story of black and white. However it is a movie that has African American folklore and it does no one any good to ignore that slavery happened. Other movies involve slavery and they say nothing about it or label it educational-why not this? It does have educational value. As for Remus- they portray him in a positive light and not slavery. It all depended on the slave owner and it didn't support any of that. It's a story people! With story telling purposes.
I'm not saying it wasn't at all racist but each film is reflective of it's time and other racially offensive (some MUCH more than this) have survived while this one does not continue?
Remember these sing along videos? They should do exact replicas of them. I haven't seen the new ones out but I love the lesser known characters like that blue owl and his class or Donald Duck's uncle (is that right?), and Jiminey Cricket. However they don't have them arranged the same and that is what I dislike. I think that the arrangement was very important and appealing. They were not too alike and provided yet a smooth transition to the variety.
