It's good to see that 12 years in we're still capable
of a real stupid flamey thread. There some life in the
old gal yet!

More importantly, it's National Day of Slayer.

IMDB says Song of the South got theatrical releases in
1980 and 1986. I saw it in one of those releases, I
assume the first. My main memory is that the very
imprefect combination of animation and live action in
the story scenes made me feel a bit claustrophobic,
like how I felt when I saw Pete's Dragon. The animated
characters are so obviously on top of the (physical)
film in a more or less realistic setting that the
world looks completely wrong, and it's unsettling (in
a negative way). Not like, say, Mary Poppins, where
the animation + live actors scenes are in an animated
world, so you accept the imperfect merging of the two
because you're eye isn't searching for reality.
