It's not easy being green.

Apparently they thought that this would get them some brownie points
(sorry) with the sort of people who complain about how white Disney

Whatever happened to their "Song of the South"? There was lots of

Years ago they withdrew it and burned all the prints and negatives.

A few years later, they re-repeased it.
