As a white man, I am not in a position to say whether "Song of the South" is or is not racist, although Johnny's molther certainly is, I am sure that the black experience in the Reconstruction South was nowhere near the pleasant experience in this story, and the fact that star James Baskett could not attend the premiere in segregated Atlanta is telling.
What I can say is that while the animated sequences were fun, the live-action parts were boring.
This is worth watching for Disney Studios' completits, or for those who watch films like DW Giffith's "Birth of a Nation" for their historical context.
I watched a Japanese bootleg. All of the dialogue was in English, with the songs sub-titled. Maybe worth viewing for the historical context.
