Song of the South isn't surprising. I don't think that ever received a DVD or VHS release even! It hasn't been commercially available for years!

I don't agree with cutting the older cartoons, but I am very aware that I am not among those who would be offended by the depictions personally. I do think that they need to be called out, and the current approach of warnings, and removing some of the films (Peter Pan for one) from kids profile is a good middle ground of preserving the media, and educating people - those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it.

Yeah, it's easy (for a white male such as me) to say "What's the problem, it was a long time ago?" But I do think it would be interesting to see these on the Stars section complete with warning and maybe an introduction putting things in context.

I remember years ago buying the Loony Toons collection on DVD. The last volume of the collection contained the more culturally insensitive films: Specifically the earliest ones and the war propaganda ones. They had an introduction and warnings on the cases and discs themselves.

I do think it is important to retain these movies, painful as they may be for some people. If only to remind people of past (And present) attitudes
