Jerry over at Cartoon Brew has asked the question, “Who’s afraid of Song of the South?” (That’s what we’d like to know too!) While at Comic Con, he picked up Issue 16 of Hogan’s Alley, which contains a 19-page article on Song of the South. In the article, the author Korkis “documents the complete story of the project, from pre-production to latter day reissues – with all the controversy inbetween”. According to Jerry, this is a must-read. I just ordered my copy as I write this, and I’m looking forward to reading it!
The Cartoon Brew article also shows some rare Ub Iwerks notes and production boards from Song of the South, from the collection of Mike Van Eaton. These are definitely worth viewing. Special thanks to Merlin Jones for the news report!
