This is the only film adaptation of "The Tales of Uncle Remus" I have. Disney has not re-released "The Song of the South" on DVD due to controversy surrounding its content. But I have seen that movie online, and quite frankly, I love both films; I am not one to take sides.
This film is loosely based on Julius Lester's take on the stories, and it starts with a bored little girl named Janey. Then she met up with Brer Turtle, and he told her the stories of Brer Rabbit's madcap adventures. You know, in "Brer Rabbit Breaks Up the Party," it was kind of cruel that the other critters would not let Brer Rabbit join the party, but he is lucky to have a friend like Brer Turtle. So anyway, I love this film.
