Where Brother Rabbit hails from right? I have always wanted to watch the Disney canon in release order, but never really found that one.

They are going to ruin my two favorite Disney movies

They can't ruin movies that have already been released (unless they pull a Lucas and make every effort to suppress the versions of those films they don't want to exist anymore).

See also: Song of the South.

To me, the major difference between those examples is that Lucas actually CHANGED Star Wars. At least Disney didn't alter SotS, it just threw it in the vault, never to be released again.

DVDs are available if you search around, but they're almost certainly bootlegs.

I suppose, if there ever is going to be a place to watch the whole Disney canon in order, it would be Disney's streaming service they intend to roll out, in the US...

There is a difference between being held back vindictively, and being held back because there's not enough demand to justify a release.

Song of the South won't be on it, I guarantee. It's NOT going to be all-inclusive of Disney content. The Marvel Netflix stuff won't be on it, either.

Where's the outrage that Aladdin isn't Chinese, as he was in the original story?

90% of the time I can't even tell the difference between middle Eastern and white people. Is it just me?

Middle Easterners are Caucasians and European Mediterraneans tend to have darker complexions, so that's not really that surprising. It's a running joke that darker Italians are often confused for Middle Easterners. If you're confusing the Irish with Middle Easterners, though, then it probably is just you.

I remember it being explicitly part of the Disney Animated Canon, but now I cannot find any reference to that. (as in, I remember old commercials, either for a VHS or DVD collection, of the entire animated canon, and song of the south being listed as one of the films)

Caucasian is just a confusing term and should not be used the way it is. How many "white" people actually look like the people from the Caucasus?

Maybe, but it is and it's unlikely you and I can change that so get used to it.

i have a sing along vhs tape of all the greatest cartoon songs. Song of the South was in it with Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.

Also that song won an academy award.

Only racist people care about casting based on skin color

Not remotely true.

I don't want an Asian Iron Fist just like I don't want a white Luke Cage.


But would you care if a white character or asian character was cast in either show?

Depends on the role. Likeness is important to me.

You can get away with it for smaller roles, as no one(or at least, a vast majority) would really be watching Daredevil for Froggy Nelson. Even if it's not ideal.


Given that this is an entirely new character, I don't see how the he race of the actor should matter. It isn't like there aren't any white people in middle eastern countries

Okay? I'm talking about your first post.

As for the new character thing, I agree for the most part. I just think it's a pointless role entirely and am afraid that some stuff from the original movie might get cut to compensate for it.
