Song of the South has never been fully released on home video in the USA[3] because of content which some people could see as racism towards black people and is thus subject to rumors. However, a song from the movie, Zip a Dee Doo Dah, is very popular and there is a ride based on the movie at various Disney theme parks, though it was recently announced that it will be changed to a ride based on The Princess and the Frog as a result of the George Floyd protests. The movie only got a home video release internationally. This makes Song of the South the only Disney movie to not be released on North American home video.
