Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
izzy_slm Clever writing and character designs, excellent voice work, and surprisingly good animation for a straight-to-video release. I've read the original Uncle Remus stories to my son (age 5), as well as other "rabbit" stories from Caribbean and Gullah traditions, and West African Anansi stories. Kids love tricksters, and this is a nice way to introduce some of the classic stories. No, it isn't "Song of the South" (a good thing or a bad thing, depending on which way you look at it--they did a nice job with the songs in this, though), and (spoiler alert!). . . . . . I could have done without the "Brer Rabbit sees the error of his ways and becomes a good friend" piece of the arc, but wrapping up with a faithful and well-paced treatment of the best-known Brer Rabbit tale rescues it. The only way you'll do better on currently-available video is to comb through the back catalog of Weston Woods/Scholastic films for the shorts based on picture-book retellings of individual stories. And that could take a while.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Right now, this film is the only film based on the Tales of Uncle Remus I have, because the Disney Studios haven't re-release "The Song Of The South" on DVD, because of some controversy regarding it's 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 the film starts with a bored little girl named Janey. Then she met up with Brer Turtle and he told the stories of Brer Rabbit's madcap adventures. You know, in "Brer Rabbit breaks up The Party" it was kind of mean that the other critters won't let Brer Rabbit join the party; but he is lucky to have a friend like Brer Turtle. So anyway, I love this film.
Frekman Having a copy of "Song of the South" which this is the politically correct replacement for, I was truly disappointed with this. "Song of the South" is not that great a movie by todays technical standards, but in its day it was revolutionary in the merging of animation and real actors. The Adventures of Brer Rabbit is nothing but modern politically correct trash. The Adventures of Brer Rabbit, which some people may find offensive to their own spiritual belief systems today, lacks any basis in the folk tales of a group of Americans that was part of our heritage. Those folk tales were the story of Brer Rabbit, not this politically correct enhanced trash.That story (Song of the South) is a part of our history, for better or worse. Slavery, as well as the way the Black actors of Song of the South were treated in Atlanta at the time of Oscar Awards was terrible beyond belief. Anyone today who believes singing happy slaves were a way of life in the old south is an idiot. But America is not the only nation with a history of slavery. Most nations of the world have that practice in their history, some still do today. Stop beating ourselves up over it, and pretending it never existed. The history of the native American people is an even greater horror story. Some of it caused intentionally by Europeon immigrants to the Americas. Some of it just twists of fate that befell them in the collision of 2 cultures. But what a horror story that is. Films weren't always based in total reality back when Song of the South was made, neither are they today. But the rewriting of our historical make believe films smacks of another film/story "1984".Don't tease the people with this stuff, re-release the original movie where Brer Rabbit was made a star "Song of the South".
Ben Dover While this movie may not be the same as Disney's classic "Song Of The South", this direct-to-video film from Universal Studios is a beautifully animated, clean, wholesome, entertaining family film. This movie is filled with very memorable characters, plenty of adventure, a lot of captivating stories, great moral lessons, and superb animation. This film also has a lot of clean humor without any of the sexual innuendo, lame puns, or gross-out humor that's found in many animated T.V. shows and films nowadays. Even though this film is aimed at small children, you can enjoy this movie whether you're 4 or 40, and it's great for the whole family to watch together (or by yourself). On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this film a 10 all the way! You will not be disappointed. (Hopefully Universal will decide to make a whole series of movies.)
