Song Of The South (1946)

Combining live-action and animation, the film follows a young boy named Johnny as he befriends Uncle Remus, an elderly storyteller who shares whimsical tales of Br’er Rabbit, Br’er Fox, and Br’er Bear. The stories, rich in Southern folklore, serve as life lessons for Johnny, helping him navigate personal struggles. While the film is remembered for its Academy Award-winning song, "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," its controversial portrayal of race and the antebellum South has made it a subject of debate.
