Rob says: “Disney completists wary of purchasing costly bootlegs of Disney’s controversial 1946 classic, SONG OF THE SOUTH’, will find hope in the House of Mouse’s latest gem-packed ‘Disney Treasures’ collection. In the bonus features of the second of this limited edition, 2-disc ‘tin’ set, film historian and hardcore Disney aficionado Leonard Maltin wraps an apology inhis explanation of the historical context of 10 racially and ethnically insensitive cartoons from 1928-1935. This spinning can be seen as paving the way for a 60th anniversary release of SONG in 2006, which is also the year that release-blocking Cheese Michael Eisner takes leave. Score: 4 1/2 cats”
