Back then, this wasn't cliche, How many movies were made then compared to now? See my point? That movie is a classic as well it should be ;<br />I will say this: The "Jim" Crow was pretty racist.

But I did watch it a 1,001 times way back when, and I loved it. But I haven't seen it in twenty years...but now I think I won't rewatch it out of fear of ruining my fond memories of it.
