Can someone help me remember the name of this show or movie is? I remember being 3 years old when my father bought this for me on tape. I can only tell you from what I remember. I think it was the the beginning or at the end of the movie it had an old black man with a little kid and they are walking away from the camera singing " skipidy doo da, skipidity dey, my oh my its a wonderful day. And it looked like the show or movie was taken place sometime in the 70's. does anyone know?
isn't it zippidy doo da?
I know it came on Splash when Tom Hanks says Mr Mango on my shoulder..

Ya it is disney related. Does anyone know?
It was from a Disney movie called Song of the South. The song is "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."
I know they sing it on the sing-a-long classics tape of Pongo & Perdita

Thanks Princessdora, I just checked it on imdb to see if it was the right one and it is!. Damn, that takes me back.
From what I recall, Song of the South was a controversial film for some racially offensive material. It was a very rare movie but I think they are going to re-release it.

Last I heard, they weren't. At least not in the states. It's never been released to video or DVD. The movie contains a lot of racism and takes place on a plantation, so it's doubtful Disney would ever be willing to release it. I have a copy of Zip a dee doo dah on one of the Sing Along volumes, but that's it.

This movie was never released in the United States on video or DVD because of it's percieved racism.
However, if you go to ebay or a similar site, you can buy a copy that was released in England. That's how I got my copy

I know of the movie, but have never seen it. My father and I did find one of those sing-a-long Disney tapes here that was packed away, and the song was on it. What happened in the movie anyway for it to come across as being racist?

I just found out that they have the full movie on torrent. For those who have Bitcomet or any other torrent program and want the movie to ask.

<<What happened in the movie anyway for it to come across as being racist?>>
Their were complaints that it portrayed an idyllic relationship between owner and slave (though the movie was set post-cival war), that it had historic inaccuracies that made the lot of a slave, or just a poor black person in the south at the time, not as bad as it was.
And then their's the complaints about the Bre'r Rabbit story. It has a Tar Baby...you can prob reason out people's complaints about that on your own.
Silly stuff really, imo, it's a nice lil movie. People are too damned worried about being politically correct. That movie was a product of it's time, and what people see in it as racist is really very minor compared to other things of the day. Look at old Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry...they were much worse, but you'll still see the offending episodes on TV on occasion.

"Song of the South", which was banned a few years ago because the PC b@stards at Disney can hide porn and/or disgusting images in their films, but ohh, any pre-1970's portrayal of blacks MUST be cleaned from the eyes of our children!!! OHHH THE PAIN!!! :o
wasn't this song affiliated with the Disney World ride (Splash Mountain)?

what about the mac bastards at Disney?

Those have been banned too. Speedy Gonzales was banned for a while until the Mexicans laughed at them and complained.

Yeah. The Braer Rabbit/bear/fox story is featured there. I guess they had to bring it back somehow minus the controversy. The sad thing is, kids won't know which Disney movie they're from.
