During the Jim Crow era Disney decided to make a movie called Song of the South. This movie features a black character named Uncle Remus that makes life during the Jim Crow era for blacks look like it was all fun, however as we all should know it was not. After the film was rereleased several times throughout the mid and late 20th century it was finally trailed with persistent accusations of racism. After the 40th anniversary of this movie in 1986 Disney locked it away in its vault. There has been multiple engagements where people have asked Disney CEO's if the movie would be released again on DVD or Blu-ray, and the answer has been that the movie is antiquated and fairly offensive. There will also be no plans to release the movie ever again.
