Plenty. Through interviews with many of the artists and animators who created Song of the South, and through his own extensive research, Korkis delivers both the definitive behind-the-scenes history of the film and a balanced analysis of its cultural impact. In his newest book, Who's Afraid of the Song of the South?, Korkis examines the film from concept to controversy, and reveals the politics that nearly scuttled the project. But is the film racist? Are its themes, its characters, even its music so abominable that Disney has done us a favor by burying the movie in its infamous Vault, where the Company claims it will remain for all time? Disney historian Jim Korkis does not so. And that's why it has forbidden the theatrical re-release of its classic film Song of the South since 1986. ![]() ![]() Breaking a ceramic plate at a vort is customary, symbolizing the permanence of marriage and mirroring the breaking of a glass at a Jewish wedding.

But also, more specifically, because it had happened during my childhood - between a brother and sister who were neighbours of my grandmother. And it doesn't come more taboo than sibling incest. Mostly because I'm always eager to see how any fiction, but particularly teen fiction, engages with taboo subjects. Because Maya and Lochan are brother and sister. You'd think then, that when these two teenagers kiss for the first time, it would be the beginning of a gorgeous first love affair, wouldn't you? But you'd be wrong. He's also highly intelligent, at the top of his class and heading off to a good London university and on the cusp of a bright future. Lochan is seventeen, drop-dead gorgeous and most of the girls at his school have crushes on him. Maya is sixteen, pretty, sociable and wise beyond her years. It's beautifully written and beautifully handled - absorbing and poignant, it's highly recommended for teens unafraid to grapple with difficult issues.
