Summary: Plenty of princesses have been cursed by wicked witches, but the curse placed on this princess by her evil aunt is an unusual one: it removes all the princess’s gravity. What can break the curse before the princess floats away? Perhaps the best thing for her would be to fall in love, but how a person with no gravity can fall in anything is just the problem. (summary by Laura Fox on Librivox)

Description from the Kiddie Records Weekly site:

Uncle Remus was created in the 1800s by Joel Chandler Harris, who grew up on a plantation in the South during the days when slavery was still very much a part of life.   The first books Walt Disney ever read were the Uncle Remus stories and he brought them to life in 1946 with the release of Song of the South.   Because of it’s stereotypes, some have found this classic film objectionable and consequently it has not been shown in theaters for years, nor has it been released on DVD.
