And it's out of 25 movies, too! Laughing

It's over the stupid cutting-of-the-ear line. Plus, we're the only Disney movie on that list. Huzzah?

The only Disney movie? Then they've succeeded in erasing Song of the South from the collective conciousness? Laughing

I guess the movie can't be banned in order to be on the list. They're in a league of their own Laughing

I'm surprised that United 93 and Da Vinci Code aren't higher on this list...it seems lists like this often tend to favor very current related items that people have been hearing about.

It's...interesting, I guess, to see that Aladdin's 'notoriety' has stood the test of time? I know there was a stir, but I wouldn't have guessed it'd be in a top 25 list.

As for Song of the South...well, my friend Jim couldn't give a Disney Heritage presentation about the film this past November...the people who clear such events said 'that's far too controversial and sensitive a subject.' But they LOVED his alternate idea: "The Creation of Splash Mountain: The stories and characters that inspired one of the most popular Disney theme park attractions."

My mom laughed when I told her about this. Smile

...and did anyone else notice that at the bottom of the screen, if you click to follow All About: Aladdin, it says (movie, 1994) next to the title? The year's right in the article itself, though.

If you search for Aladdin on that site there are a lot of cool old articles about it. Very Happy

No. No I don't Laughing

Then again, a lot of the good stuff was made in the mid 90s...

Apparantly we weren't the only ones who had a WTF? reaction about this. Laughing
