1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 (((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge plunges into the briar patch! First, Liana and I go Behind the Mickey Bar and discuss the film and the controversy that surrounds it.&amp;nbsp; Be sure to login to the Mouse Lounge Blog at mouselounge.com and read my piece about the issue. Next, we go in to the Disney Vault.&amp;nbsp; Song of the South hasn&amp;rsquo;t been on the big screen in over 25 years, and has never been released on home video in the U.S.&amp;nbsp; As a result, an entire generation has never seen Disney&amp;rsquo;s take on the Joel Chandler Harris stories and the exquisite performance of James Baskett, who utterly inhabited the role of Uncle Remus.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We first dust off a delightful 1946 five-minute promo of the film featuring composer Johnny Mercer, Walt Disney, and the&amp;hellip; uh&amp;hellip; unflappable&amp;hellip; Donald Duck. Then I&amp;rsquo;ll tell you the tale of Song of the South with clips from the original film.&amp;nbsp; It certainly doesn&amp;rsquo;t replace watching it, but if you&amp;rsquo;ve loved Splash Mountain for more than two decades but still don&amp;rsquo;t necessarily understand the narrative, this should help a lot! Then, go behind the curtain and learn what it took to bring Song of the South to the Silver Screen.&amp;nbsp; Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy a ride through down Chickapin Hill into the Briar Patch on Splash Mountain in the Magic Kingdom. We close the show with popular music covers from the picture.&amp;nbsp; First, Satchmo himself brings his unique style to Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.&amp;nbsp; Not to be out done, listen to Rosemary Clooney with her rendition of Everybody Has a Laughing Place!&amp;nbsp; Next, Walt Disney and Johnny Mercer introducing June Hutton of the Pied Pipers who performs, Sooner or Later.&amp;nbsp; We&amp;rsquo;ll wrap up the show with Uncle Remus himself performing, Uncle Remus Says.
