- The film's depiction of black former slaves, and of race relations in Reconstruction-Era Georgia, has been controversial since its original release, with a number of critics — at the time of its release and in later decades — describing it as racist. Consequently it has never been released in its entirety on Home video in the United States.
- The film has never been officially released on DVD or home video in the USA, because of content which Disney executives believe would be construed by some as being racially insensitive towards black people, and is thus subject to much rumor.

Well, the problem with that is, there's, like, a bajillion of them. I have one month to get through these and, it's just way too much. But at the same time, I was thinking to myself, "These movies have left a big impact. Just as much if not bigger than the animated ones."

But at the same time, I was thinking to myself, "These movies have left a big impact. Just as much if not bigger than the animated ones." So it did seem kind of a shame not to talk about them in more detail. So, here's what I decided to do: I'm gonna go through the live-action movies, but only the ones that are the best known; the ones that left an impact, the ones that whether for better or worse, we remember. The Mary Poppins, the Bedknobs and Broomsticks, the Pirates of the Caribbean. The films we remember from childhood just as much as Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty and so forth. Now the other catch to that is because, hey, being Disney, they like to do a lot of sequels, and keep in mind this wasn't just a newer thing, they did this a lot in the past, too. So, what I'm gonna do for that is, if one of the movies I'm reviewing does have a sequel or even a remake, I'll do another video just quickly summing them up, quickly talking about it, but I won't go into as much detail as the main movie, because like I said, there's a lot of these, and we gotta get through them. And why shouldn't we? A lot of these films are like live-action versions of the animated films. It was so cool to see a woman actually fly, it was so cool to actually see the pirates come out and swordfight with skeletons and all the stuff that we saw in the ride. And, of course, we love our animated magic. But at the same time, there was something really cool about seeing that magic come to real life, or at least, a little closer to real life. It made the illusion just seem a bit more believable, and that's what we're gonna look over. We're gonna look over which ones worked, which ones didn't, and which ones left the biggest impact and why. So, get ready, everybody. This is the return of Disneycember: The Live-Action Films. (The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing the poster and clips of The Reluctant Dragon, as well as a poster of Treasure Island) Doug (vo): Believe it or not, there's some debate over what was actually the first live-action film. Technically, the first one they did was The Reluctant Dragon, but the majority of that is just showing how they made an animated film, that being The Reluctant Dragon, which is cute and okay but, not much of a narrative. Some argue that the first live-action film is Treasure Island, because it was the first one not to have any animated characters in it. (The poster of Song of the South is shown, before showing clips from the film. The song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" plays throughout) Doug (vo): But, I'm gonna go for the one that I declare the first actual live-action Disney film, and that's Song of the South. Yeah, I can just feel all the asses around the world clench up just when I say that title. This film has so much controversy about it that it was never released to video or DVD*. In fact, I'm probably among the last generation to see this in the theater. Yeah, remember those Nostalgia Critic commercial specials where we had Song of the South being advertised? I remember actually seeing those ads. And, of course, I wanted to see it on the big screen. So, is it as offensive as people say it is, or is it really just harmless? Is it memorable? Is it bad? Well, let's take a look.
* Actually, it was released on home video, just not in the US.

La película ha causado mucha controversia hasta la fecha, debido al contenido racial en el argumento y es la razón por la cual los ejecutivos de Disney no han reeditado esta película en más de una década. En Estados Unidos la película nunca ha sido puesta a la venta al público, no así en otros países, como Reino Unido o en regiones como Asia o América Latina. Algunos segmentos de la película (especialmente las partes animadas) han sido usados para compilaciones o ediciones especiales de Disney en VHS o en DVD, como la canción Zip-a-Dee-Doo-dah, la cual ganó el premio a Mejor Canción por la Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de Hollywood en 1947.
