I hope it's released. World audiences are today smart enough to see any "racial" issues as a part of the times in which this was produced. It's a wonderful film otherwise!

This is the most encouraging thing I've heard from the "official" sources about SotS in a long while:

Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook has said that no Disney film has received more customer requests than "Song of the South," and that its DVD release is possible. Despite rumors to the contrary, there's never been an official ban of the film, although, if its web pages are any indication, Disney has tried to keep the film consigned to its vaults.
