Why Disney Won't Re-Release "Song of the South"

This is a terrific news article on why Disney won't re-release "Song of the South".

Personally, I think they should release it. Warner Brothers have done a wonderful thing recently with their Looney Tunes collections. They have included those politically-incorrect episodes in these collections, but included commentary by people like Whoopy Goldberg on the context of these cartoon, when they were released, etc. It is important to acknowledge that these were done and released, rather than simply to sweep then under the rug and pretend that they didn't exist.

Disney should do the same thing. After all, they continue to reap the benefits out of Song of the South with the Splash Mountain attraction. Release it and put commentaries by prominent figures to put the movie in perspective. But to pretend that it didn't exist is just puzzling.
