Summary: A Disgrace to the African American Spirit
Comment: In light of all the controversy surrounding Disney's "Song of the South", this version of Uncle Remus tales only deepens the controversy. As far as pleasing legal experts who get tense around civil rights issues, this movie is tremendous - as far as artistic expression, it's plain awful. As one reviewer noticed, the animation is decent; but the story and character development are horrendous - to plop a child in front of this garbage would be detrimental to their developmental growth.
On the other hand you have Disney's work of art locked up somewhere because it hints at the days of Southern utopia between Master and Servant. I understand this can be offensive, but this was not the aim of the Disney company, only an inevitable subtlety that must be conveyed in order to tell the story. Someone who would be convinced of bringing back the "glory days of the south" after watching this movie clearly missed the point of the film - and probably needs psychologcial evaluation.
Finally I want to point out that this film's "decent animation" was a product of some Asian country. That is, this culturally American film could not be animated by it's countrymen because of the expense. So the guys at Universal used the money that should have been put into production to pay for the name recognition of the voice "talents". I only hope this isn't evidence of where art is headed in this country.

Summary: Adventures of Brer Rabbit
Comment: My father had asked me for The Adventures of Brer Rabbit for christmas. He wanted the original version. I thought that is what I had ordered since it said classic on the order page. I did not see where Wayne Brady was located on the cover. I simply did not pay attention. If I would have I would have known that this piece of crap was not the original. My dad hates it. He wanted it to share with his grandson. He simply removed it from the dvd player and put it in the closet. When I had made the order I only saw the title and it said classic, so I bought it. Boy was that the wrong mve.....

Summary: A Glimpse back to Fables with Moral
Comment: This book is GREAT. It allows all of us to be children again and to look back to the fables which always ended with a moral. A moral is lesson one learns from reading the story. If you've ever been to Disneyland and Splash Mountain, the Brer Rabbit characters are everywhere. They are classics; great reading, I heartily recommend to everyone, young and old to read these tales. Being a teacher, I especially enjoyed the tales.

Summary: This is a rip off don't buy it!
Comment: I was introduced to Brer Rabbit via Uncle Remus' stories in Song of the South. This DVD does not remotely come close to the stories told by the lovable Uncle Remus. They are watered down political correct inaccurate bla bla mindless pap. Uncle Remus' original stories had substance and wisdom I didn't find in this DVD.
