It’s also a movie aimed at adults, from a company with less of a desire to appeal to families and (arguably) sweep earlier problematic content and attitudes under the rug. It is generally held up alongside Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz and Citizen Kane as one of the defining movies of the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood. Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American to win an Oscar and the film remains the most popular motion picture of all time in terms of adjusted-for-inflation domestic box office, remaining the only movie to sell over 200 million tickets in North America. It won nine Oscars (along with two honorary awards) after its 1939 release, including becoming the first “shot in color” feature to win Best Picture. Right or wrong, Gone with the Wind is considered a more important, more acclaimed and more valuable piece of Hollywood history. Right or wrong, Disney really has tried to stop consumers from seeing that 1946 animated/live-action hybrid (which features the Oscar-winning 'Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah' song and inspired Disney’s popular “Splash Mountain” theme park ride). Gone With the Wind is not Disney DIS’s Song of the South, which really has been kept out of the public sphere since its 1986 reissue out of concern for its problematic racial characters and attitudes. But “Huzzah, Community is coming to Netflix!” being sold as if the Dan Harmon-created TV show was stuck in media purgatory up until that moment, is both ridiculous and qualifies as the media doing free advertising for one streaming service over another.
