Song of the South is a 1946 American musical film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures.

The film is based on the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris.

The live actors provide a sentimental frame story, in which Uncle Remus relates the folk tales of the adventures of Br ' er Rabbit and his friends.

These anthropomorphic animal characters appear in animation.

The hit song from the film was " Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah ", which won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Song and is frequently used as part of Disney's montage themes, and which has become widely used in popular culture.

The film inspired the Disney theme park attraction Splash Mountain.
