Purchasers of Disney's "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," the second volume of the company's Sing Along Songs series, may discover that not everything is as "satisfactchull" as it could be with this tape--it all depends on why you're buying it. If you've sought out the video because of a sentimental devotion to the musical the title tune is taken from, Song of the South, then you're bound to be disappointed. Disney's undying efforts to make nice have spilled into this segment (the first of a nine-song package), and all is sanitized so that the original film's disconcerting depictions of then-de rigueur racial inequality cause no modern-day discomfort. But that's not to say the scene of Uncle Remis strolling a hummingbird- and butterfly-lined road and singing his song isn't a sure-fire mood-lifter, or that it doesn't succeed in its mission, which is to jog joyful childhood memories. And it is the only way to see any of the film on video; Disney has no plans to ever release the controversial film. In fact each of this collection's numbers (all ingrained collectively on a generation now raising its own kids), aims to knead adult viewers' nostalgic sides (presumably part of a strategy to perpetuate Disney die-hards). Especially effective are Cinderella's "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," the Davy Crockett series' "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," and Snow White's "Whistle While You Work." --Tammy La Gorce

 Disney's Sing-A-Long Songs - Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah August 26, 2006
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I don't know what all the fuss is about! I am not a politically correct person. I am a grandmother trying to show my grandsons what wonderful songs came out of such great movies produced by Disney. All I know is that Disney should re-release such awsome movies so that future generations can admire and enjoy what they're parents grew up with. I have most, if not all, of the sing along songs made by Disney on VHS and I would like them on DVD. My children are successful in their careers and by no means did these movies do them any harm. It taught them to enjoy beautiful music. I agree with Mr. Willert, there are alot of unappropriate movies out there that should be banned but it seems that the most innocent, patriotic, no violence, no sex and certainly spiritual movies are the ones that are criticize the most. And us as consumers, a majority, don't have a leg to stand on because of all the politically correct people, a minority, who have the power to decide what we should hear, see and believe. So please go ahead and re-release all the sing along songs on DVD and believe me you'll have a alot of devoted customers for life (including me).
Song of the South: a GREAT Disney film August 5, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I'm heartened by all the reviews I read that are practically begging Disney TO BRING BACK Song of the South. It is one of the
cheeriest, most uplifting old films we have, despite the hyper-myopic views of a tiny minority that sees hate in everything. I know of what I speak: for forty years I've been a college history professor, and for most of that time I've had to put up with the hate-seeking, eternally angry, political correctness bunch. They villify Song of the South, and in their left-wing neo-McCarthyism they seek to destroy anyone who likes it (or any other wholesome film). I am especially grieved that the people at Disney have surrendered to these Neanderthals. Uncle Walt would never have permitted it.
Song of the South-Zip A Dee Doo Dah October 22, 2005
9 out of 19 found this review helpful
All I heard on the reviews was stuff about Song of the South being banned. Nobody got down to the songs. Those are supposed to be confiscated (the reviews about Song of the South being banned). Here are the songs:
"The Mickey Mouse Club March"-The Mickey Mouse Club
"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah"-Song of the South
"Following the Leader"-Peter Pan
"It's a Small World"-Disneyland
"The Unbirthday Song"-Alice in Wonderland
"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo"-Cinderella
"Casey Junior"-Dumbo
"The Ballad of Davy Crockett"-Davy Crockett movies
"Give a Little Whistle"-Pinocchio
"Whistle While You Work"-Snow White
Don't blame me, I've seen the video, I just think such words shouldn't be there. Parents, just buy this if you think you like it. Nothing good will come of it anyway.
Show respect? August 23, 2005
23 out of 30 found this review helpful
If it is required that a movie show respect to people of any color then why not also ban every movie that has ever shown white people in a bad light?
This movie shows how it really was at one time in our history, it does not say it was right or wrong. If we hide all of these examples of how things shouldn't have been will African Americans quit bitching about how things were - at some time in the future no white will know what you're talking about if you hide it well enough.
Singing Song Of The South Sensation August 11, 2005
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
This may be volume two of the Disney Sing Alongs collection in the US, but it was the first one released in the UK where I bought it. It was a Christmas present and I was so excited to get it. In truth, I wanted it to see the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo sequence from Cinderella and wasn't bothered about Zip A Dee Doo Dah, but I enjoyed that too. This video also featured rarer songs such as Mickey Mouse Club March, It's A Small World and The Ballad Of Davy Crockett. Other songs included were Following The Leader from Peter Pan (released several times on different sing along songs videos), The Unbirthday Song from Alice In Wonderland, Casy Junior from Dumbo and Whistle While You Work from Snow White.
The real highlight though was Zip A Dee Doo Dah and the unadvertised Song Of The South from SONG OF THE SOUTH. And here's my sidenote: Now in America, there seems to be some issues regarding the release of the film Song Of The South because of its slavery connotations. In fact, the movie is set after the slavery period. However Michael Eisner as head of The Walt Disney Company has chosen not to release it in case it could fuel racial hatred. Obviously for fans of Song Of The South, that seems ridiculous, but what fans don't know is that Disney have received protests from some celebrities who say they will seriously make some noise if Song Of The South is ever released. By the way, Song Of The South was available on video in the UK years ago- no riots! (And if you really wanna get a copy pirate versions are available in New York) There is a light at the end of the tunnel though- there is a rumor that Disney will release Song Of The South in 2005 or 2006- fingers crossed. They should just get Leonard Maltin to do an introduction about Song Of The South in its historical context. You know what, I think everyone should get over themselves. Song Of The South is a family film after all.
Back to the review. This is one of the more special sing along videos since it really set the bar. Just ignore the Song Of The South argument. You and your kinds will really enjoy this early Disney Sing Along Songs video sensation.
