I'd first like to discuss the readings from a mere emotional sense. Rabbit Proof Fence was a great film, and I found myself lying in bed, watching the movie with a severe case of "the feels" - especially when Molly was separated from her cousin while there were traveling all the way to Jigalong.

While many were shocked at the blatant racism displayed in The Song of the South, it is not the first piece of Disney animation to feature controversial material.

"Walt, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is no longer yours. We have bought it from you," said Bob Ledington, the head of Universal. "Wait, what do you mean Oswald isn 't mine anymore?" I asked. Bob said, "Universal has retained the rights of Oswald and we have hired away all of the employees. You can stay with Universal if you like, but you would get a lower salary."

Consequently, an individual is able to perceive the image in their own way depending on their level of knowledge.
