When first released in 1946, this film was one of Walt Disneys’ first forays into mixing live-action with animation. Using the classic “Uncle Remus” stories by Joel Chandler Harris, the Disney studios present the characters of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear in one hilarious predicament after another. From the “Tar Baby” episode to “The Laughing Place”, the laughs are sure to come from young and old alike. Unfortunately, an unnecessary controversy has cast a dark cloud on this beautiful film. The live-action sequences involve a number of black characters (namely Uncle Remus) who, by todays standards may be seen as stereotypical or degrading. I beg to differ, Uncle Remus is not portrayed as a demeaning “Uncle Tom”. He is, in fact, simply polite. Walt Disney could have avoided much of the controversy by simply stating what year the film took place, before or after the Civil War. The film is clearly after the war as it shows Uncle Remus leaving the plantation of his own free will AND no one is trying to capture him as a runaway. This film has not yet been released in the US home video/DVD market due to its undeserved reputation, but rumors persist that a 2006 release (60th anniversary) may be on the horizon.
