Do you honestly thing that chimney sweeps in Edwardian England went around dancing and singing happily as they toiled away on the roof tops at night? Most of them were child laborers working for pennies a day. Obviously it was going to depict things in an artificially rosy light. Let's not forget, this is NOT a documentary, it was a fictional film and a musical. Amazing that this was Walt Disney's first live-action film. Here on was the first time I've actually had the opportunity to watch the film in its entirety. I grew up in the 90's watching songs like Zippity Doo Dah on Sing-Along-Song tapes but with none of the context of the actual film. I'll forgo the long, ranting, cancel culture review that preceded me by saying that it's a shame this film may never be released in a remastered version for digital download or on Blu-ray.
