It was Disney's first feature film using live actors, who provide a sentimental frame story for several animated segments. The film depicts the character Uncle Remus, presumably a former slave, cheerfully relating to several children, including the film's protagonist, the folk tales of the adventures of anthropomorphic Br'er Rabbit and his enemies, Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear. The film's song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Song, is frequently used as part of Disney's montage themes, and has become widely used in popular culture. James Baskett was given an honorary Academy Award in 1948 for his portrayal of Uncle Remus; the first Oscar (although an honorary one) to a male African-American actor. The film inspired the Disney theme park attraction Splash Mountain. The film's depiction of black former slaves, and of race relations in Reconstruction-Era Georgia, has been controversial since its original release, with a number of critics — at the time of its release and in later decades — describing it as racist.〔(Time )〕 Consequently, it has never been officially released in its entirety on home video in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disney (''Song of the South'') )〕 ==Setting== The film is set on a plantation in the US state of Georgia, some distance from Atlanta. Although sometimes interpreted as taking place before the U.S. Civil War, while slavery was still in force in the region, the setting is the later Reconstruction Era, after slavery was abolished.〔(''TV Guide'', entry for ''Song of the South'' )〕〔(''Salon.com'' The perfect double bill: “Princess and the Frog” and “Song of the South” By Erik Nelson, March 16, 2010 )〕 Harris' original Uncle Remus stories were all set after the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery (Harris himself, born in 1845, was a racial reconciliation activist writer and journalist of the Reconstruction Era). The film makes several indirect references to the Reconstruction Era: clothing is in the newer late-Victorian style; Uncle Remus is free to leave the plantation at will; black field hands are sharecroppers, etc.〔''Walt Disney Presents "Song of the South"'' Promotional Program, Page 7.
