The racism does make earlier songs hard to get into. Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, Peter Pan, and Aristocats all had them. I generally agree with you, you can't call most of those old movies musicals anyway, not like the Menken/Ashman stuff which has "I Want", "Palling Around", "Love", and "Villain" songs all worked into the plots of the movies. I do have a fondness for Sleeping Beauty's "Once Upon A Dream", though, it being set to the music of Tchaikovsky. And Fantasia, of course. Real classy!
