Song of the South of Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Fame may never be released in the U.S. because of the new "Political Correctness" fear that masks itself in censorship.
The film's song, "Zip-a-dee Do-Dah", won the "Best Song" Academy Award for 1946.Although some Blacks have always been uneasy about the minstrel tradition of the Uncle Remus stories, the major objections to the Song of the South video had to do with the live action portions.
I've seen several discussions about Song of the South containing comments to that effect, which state or imply African Americans in the film refer to the whites as "massa." That is completely false.

 AFI List "Over the Rainbow" - Jun 22, 2004 - E! Online News
Of interest to film buffs, The Song of the South, held by Disney from theatrical and home-video release in the United States since the 1980s for its not terribly enlightened portrayal of African-Americans, earned respect for its Oscar-winning hit, "Zip-a Dee-Doo-Dah" (number 47).
Just as past AFI lists were self-explanatory ("100 Years...100 Laughs," for instance, compiled the so-called best film comedies), "100 Years...100 Songs" sought to rank, yes, the top ditties in the history of tie-in soundtracks.
Since the AFI wasn't picky on source material--unlike the Oscars, it didn't care if a song had been written explicitly for the film in which it was featured--movies with road- and audience-tested tunes fared best on the list.
