Well, something seems innocent...

Here's a bizarre misplaced relative clause, this time from Roger Ebert's review of The Princess and the Frog:
It is notable that this is Disney's first animated feature since "Song of the South" (1946) to feature African-American characters, and if the studio really never is going to release that film on DVD, which seems more innocent by the day, perhaps they could have lifted "Zip-a-dee Doo-Dah" from it and plugged that song in here.
DVDs are more innocent? Releasing things is more innocent? The decision not to release "Song of the South" is more innocent? The film itself? I'm sure the last is correct, but it is (or so it seems to me) the least syntactically allowed.
