* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In North America, Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo has never officially released the full movie, although some [=DVDs=] and Blu-Ray Discs include clips. The ''WesternAnimation/DisneySingAlongSongs'' video ''Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah''[[note]]released on VHS to promote ''Song of the South'''s 1986 theatrical re-release[[/note]] has also never come to DVD; even though it kicked off the ''Sing-Along'' series, Disney hasn't sold it in any form since 2001 (though another volume with a song from the film did see a DVD release in 2006). Former Disney CEO Bob Iger even vowed to investors that this film will ''never'' see a Creator/DisneyPlus release either, as long as he remains in charge. However, ''Song of the South'' still occasionally airs on TV in the UK, just not on any channels owned by Disney.

* TalkingToHimself: When Johnny Lee was busy lending his voice to the ad campaign, Baskett filled in for him as Br'er Rabbit in one sequence, opposite ''himself'' as Br'er Fox, and did a damn fine job.

** To try and counter this, Disney hired Maurice Rapf. This wasn't just because Rapf was a more experienced screenwriter, but also because Walt trusted Rapf to have a critical eye on the project and counter Reymond's slant. While Rapf's contributions took out "massa" and "darkey", some portions of his treatment were removed shortly after he was removed, following a disagreement with Reymond. In Rapf's version, the time frame was much better established: Johnny's father is trying to secure money to pay the black laborers, and one character openly states, "We gotta pay these people. They're not slaves." Likewise, Uncle Remus, as he prepared to leave, would have stated that he didn't have to stay and take this. "I'm a free man." Before being removed, he was also angling to make Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear (and a character later removed, Br'er Coon) symbolic of oppressive white people, with Br'er Rabbit as a small and wily black character.

* TypeCasting: [[Film/GoneWithTheWind Hattie McDaniel]] as yet another {{Mammy}}/maid character.
* UnderageCasting: James Baskett was only in his [=40s=] when he played the friendly elderly Uncle Remus. This happened thanks to his hair having already gone naturally gray by that point in time, unintentionally making him perfect for playing the role of an old man.
* WhatMightHaveBeen: ''Song of the South'' has two screenwriters, who had two rather different ideas of how to handle the matter. The first and primary screenwriter was Louisiana-born Dalton S. Reymond. Available information places Reymond's initial treatment as even more likely to cause ValuesDissonance than the final version; he had the white people call black people "darkies" and the black people call white people "massa". Worse, he's the screenwriter who blew off the advisor from the NAACP, Clarence Muse.

Moving to Splash Mountain page


* TheOtherDarrin: Owing to the fact that it opened 43 years removed from the movie, every character has a new voice for Splash Mountain, aside from Nick Stewart as Br'er Bear in the Disneyland version who was able to reprise his role. However, the future iterations of the ride such as in Disney World replace him with James Avery, making the entire voice cast completely new. Of particular note, Br'er Rabbit and Mr. Bluebird get recast as Creator/JessHarnell, most well known for his role as [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Wakko Warner,]] which can be a little distracting if you're used to hearing him as that.
