#1 Film in 1946: Song of the South


 

In 1946, Disney would release Song of the South, which catapulted its way to the top of the charts. Despite its box office performance and the attraction based on the film, (Splash Mountain) the film will likely never be released on DVD or Blu-Ray in the United States. Viewers who have never seen the film before widely believe that the film takes place during the slavery era, though it takes place after the Civil War. This misconception, plus the film's portrayal of Uncle Remus, makes the film's release problematic.
