As most of you know, the movie "The Song of the South" has been banned in america for quite some time. Somehow, my dad got a copy of it, and I watched it for the first time, with high expectations. It was nothing like I had imagined it would be. I thought that the whole thing was going to be a cartoon, with Uncle Remus in the cartoon land like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It wasn't.

The only thing that I could base my assumptions on was Splash Mountain. I was looking forward to seeing all of those cool scenes from the ride, but none of them were there. I have to admit, I was disappointed. I don't understand where all this controversy came from. Why is there controversy? Because there is a black man speaking incorrectly? Ummm...That's not really a reason to ban a movie from ever being shown here again.

On the plus side, I thought that the animation was some of the best that I had ever seen. It looked computer generated at times, and I was really thrilled. It was funny too. I thought that Brer Rabbit was hilarious. All in all, I liked the movie ok...It just wasn't what I expected.
