Zootopia - Song of the South Comparison

navajomoose ok so this has probably been pointed out already but like-this shot from Song of the South, Disney's most famously racist animation, and this one from Zootopia, Disney's most antiracist film? I'm pretty sure it's a visual nod (clothes are remarkably similar for one thing), but it's also a thematic one-this is a scene abt atoning for past insensitivities, after all. that's kind of heavy s--- for a Disney movie

Whether Song of the South is racist is one of those questions that drives animated historians nuts. It seems to be more inconsiderate than actively hateful – it looks like it's showing happy slaves, but the movie takes place post-Civil War, but that wasn't exactly a fun time either to be a black person working on a plantation, but the actor who played Uncle Remus was heavily supported by Disney to the point of getting an Academy Award… It's definitely the sort of thing that could give people the wrong idea of what the South was like at the time, though. Back in those days, the prevalent view was that Reconstruction was eeevil, which doesn't help (there's a reason Gone with the Wind, a movie that's heavily themed around the South complaining that it lost the Civil War, grossed 390 million dollars).
