Song of the South: History and Premier
Written on February 13, 2008 at 10:42 am, by Lain
Wade Sampson is apparently helping research the definitive history of Song of the South, the Disney film based on the Uncle Remus tales.
That article is due out this summer, but in the meantime, check out Mr. Sampson’s article on the premier of the film, published today. It’s got a lot of detail in there I’d never seen, plus reviews of the film upon its opening.
It even mentions our scary “diorama” of Uncle Remus and the little boy.
Guh!

That is a very interesting piece on the premiere. Unbelievable Disney has made $300M. Talk about a good ROI. Wish they would step it up and invest back in the Wrens Nest….they certainly can afford it!
That diorama is going to give me nightmares.
