    James Baskett sings this Oscar-winning song as Uncle Remus in Disney's Song of the South (1946). Baskett earned an honorary Oscar but was barred from the film's segregated Atlanta premiere, and Disney has kept the movie in the vault for decades. Splash Mountain, built on its characters, became Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
