“Song of the South” (Disney, 1946). Original British Lobby Card for the 1950’s Re-release.

Stars James Baskett as Uncle Remus, Bobby Driscoll as Johnny, and Luana Patten as Ginny.

“Uncle Remus: His Songs & His Sayings” by Joel Chandler Harris (1881), a collection of animal stories, songs, and folklore from African-Americans in the South, is the basis of the Disney movie. Uncle Remus is a former slave who serves as a storytelling device, passing on the folktales to children gathered around him. Br’er Rabbit is the main character of the stories, a likable character, prone to tricks and trouble-making, who is often opposed by Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear.

The stories have inspired at least three feature films. The first and best known is Walt Disney’s “Song of the South,” released in 1946. The film combined live action with animation and it starred James Baskett, a vaudeville and radio actor, as the unforgettable Uncle Remus. The film's depiction of black former slaves, and of race relations in Reconstruction-Era Georgia, has been controversial since its original release, with a number of critics – at the time of its release and in later decades – describing it as racist. As a result, it has never been released in its entirety on home video in the United States. [Source: Wikipedia]
