	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Trevor Johnston Time Out	"This rather mushy combination of animation and live-action remains one of Disney's most controversial efforts."	NEG
United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"Apparently the Disney wonder-workers are just a lot of conventional hacks when it comes to telling a story with actors instead of cartoons."	NEG
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"Better save this for nostalgia only -- kids won't be missing anything if they never encounter this relic."	NEG
United States	TV Guide	"'Song of the South's' cartoon sequences are as fine as anything produced by the Disney animators."	POS
