This week on Cinematix Problematix, we’re cracking open the Disney vault — the part they pretend doesn’t exist — to revisit the 1946 film Song of the South, a movie so controversial that even Disney+ is like, “Yeah, we’re good.” Join us as we eviscerate this Disney "classic," a movie that has the chutzpah to not only be racist, but boring. 

The film stars Ruth Warrick as Sally, Hattie McDaniel as Aunt Tempy, Bobby Discoll as lil’ Johnny, and Luanna Patton as Ginny, and the film has a brisk runtime of 1 hour and 34 minutes, and is still way too long.
