Who's Afraid of the Song of the South? And Other Forbidden Di... by Jim Korkis

It was that interesting ‘a read’! (I’m sure I’ll take many opportunities to ‘re-read’ it again as ‘time goes by’.) I’ve already read it ‘cover to cover’ once. I picked up my hard copy of the physical book WHO’S AFRAID OF THE SONG OF THE SOUTH? AND OTHER FORBIDDEN DISNEY STORIES at a Barnes & Noble bookstore located near Rochester, New York a couple of days ago. Post navigation ← Song of the South Turns 66 DVD Being Sold?

My sincere thanks goes out to Jim for all his time and effort to make this book a reality, and to editor Bob McLain of Theme Park Press. If you are interested in Song of the South, or just Disney history in general, this book is an absolute must read! The book is currently available on in paperback ($19.95) and digital Kindle edition ($7.99). The book is also praised by film critic Leonard Maltin, webmaster Jerry Beck, webmaster Greg Ehrbar, and yours truly. The foreword is written by Disney Legend Floyd Norman, Disney’s first African-American animator and storyman. You are guaranteed to learn a lot from this book (I certainly did!) The remaining chapters detail many, many other “forbidden stories” about Disney.
