Reviews

TV Guide Magazine -
Song of the South's cartoon sequences are as fine as anything produced by the Disney animators.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Song 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.

Chicago Reader -
The 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.

|
Film Threat -
Where 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.
|
|
Time Out -
This rather mushy combination of animation and live-action remains one of Disney's most controversial efforts.
