"Zippedee do-dah, zippedee ay My oh my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine, headed my way Zippedee do-dah, zippedee ay!"
Nice lyric, eh? My late uncle, Maurice Rapf, was a blacklisted screenwriter who helped develop this story for Disney in the mid-50's. When I asked about the unavailability of this movie, Maury said - "No problem, I have a tape right here I can copy for you".
I thoroughly enjoy watching this film, racial stereo-typing and all. In the history of film, it is one of the earliest examples of live animation overlayed with character actors (look out Roger Rabbit!).
As always, I appreciate the Mudcat Forum as and area where controversial topics can be viewed from many angles.
