(500) Days of Summer and Happy Bluebirds

Have y’all seen (500) Days of Summer?
If not, you should remedy that situation immediately. It’s a charming lil’ piece of cinema. It also sports a not-at-all subtle nod to Song of the South, as seen above.
It’s neat that despite attempts to sweep Song of the South under the rug, its cultural influence remains largely undiminished, especially in film.
I mean, it’s totally understood that a bluebird swooping in means good times aplenty. And let me tell you — it’s a legit good times in the scene above, hoo boy.

I love to see that old Disney clip. Thanks for putting it up again. I’ll go see the new version this weekend, but I bet the song’s not as good!
Still enjoying our Japanese DVD of SOTS waiting for Disney to get their act together. C’mon folks!

Don’t forget the zip-a-dee-doo-dah scene in “Fletch Lives.”
