Yes it is disappointing when I see the list and it’s a bunch of random stuff cause Hulu I miss when Disney+ felt more exclusively Disney now there’s all this weird fox and Hulu stuff by the way still waiting on new episodes of hamster and gretel

That effort has largely been dropped. Hopes that Disney+ would be the catalyst to get more of this stuff out, or properly restored (as they did for Cinderella and The Sword in the Stone) have been pulled back as the overall spending for the streaming service has been reduced and it's not considered a priority.

They have put effort into putting the old stuff on Disney+ they just do it intermittently so they have a steady stream of “new” content when they don’t have actual new content

It's also of no use to Iger. It's not a franchise, or part of a brand. Br'er Rabbit can't be made a Disney Princess. Even if it wasn't controversial, it would not likely be re-released or put on Disney+. Same with a lot of old Disney. With the ending of the Disney Movie Club, we're not even getting blu-ray releases of these titles anymore.

Back then, they used the term "politically correct." Woke simply replaced that. I think it would be financially stupid for Disney to re-release Song of the South at this point. It should have gotten a limited Walt Disney Treasures release in the early 2000s, but at this point the movie has been effectively banned for almost 40 years and is too much of a lightning rod for controversy, even if the release was carefully assembled and filled with all the appropriate disclaimers. I really think at this point Disney is just waiting for the movie to eventually slide into public domain (about 17 years from now) so that they can finally be rid of any responsibility for it.

Are parents not allowed to be warned of tobacco usage in a movie or show so they can decide whether they want their kids to watch such usage? You trying to get more kids smoking? You work for Big Tobacco or something?

Why? What harm are they doing?

Can we o do something about those “Contains tobacco depictions” warnings now?

It’s been unavailable in the US since the ’90s, well before people started crying woke.

There is a 4k remaster of Song of the South floating around the internet. It looks beautiful. It's very vibrant, bright and clear. However, outside of the animated segments, it is pretty boring. It reminds me of So Dear to My Heart.

I understand Disney’s reasoning…. They are a business first and foremost…and it is all optics and people will be able to see the message…I still feel such people are stupid and it mostly stems from from fake rage click baiters online

Oh I agree, but if you can make it look like you’re doing something to appease such folks without actually doing anything, well in this case I think it still accomplishes the goals set out by the original intent of the project and still quieting down the uproar. So a win/win in that regard.
