Since Song of the South‘s last threatrical release in 1986, memorabilia all but ended there. Since then, merchandise related to this film has now entered a new era: collectibles. Disney is indeed known for its collectible market, to which Song of the South is no exception. It is with this realization that I have expanded the Memorabilia section to Memorabilia and Collectibles. You will notice two new sections have been added: Splash Mountain and Collectibles. These are the sections that will be seeing the most growth in the future as new items are released by Disney remembering this classic film.

New McDonald’s Toys Include Brers Rabbit, Fox & Bear
Much to my pleasant surprise, out of the 100 figurines McDonald’s is including in happy meals celebrating Disney’s 100 Years of Magic, 3 are none other than our old pals, Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, and Brer Fox! The figures appear to be quite good both in quality and likeness. After examining McDonald’s complete character list, I found that only a few films were honored with the inclusion of more than two characters, and Song of the South was one of them! That’s fantastic news, because our lovable trio deserves no less!
