Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOwing to the significant and continued controversy surrounding public perception of the film's treatment of slavery (although it is set during post-Civil War Reconstruction in the 1870s, a period in which new systems of labor emerged to take the place of slavery) and the portrayal of its African American characters, the Disney corporation has been reluctant to reissue the film in the United States, having last been seen legally there in theaters in 1986. The studio did make the film available on video in Europe and Asia, and bootleg copies are frequently derived from them.
- GoofsBefore Uncle Remus tells the story about the Laughing Place, the mud on Ginny's dress disappears and reappears between shots.
- Quotes
Uncle Remus: You can't run away from trouble. There ain't no place that far.
- Alternate versionsOn a 1991 British VHS release and a British television broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation in 2006, the "The End" card was displayed on a blue background instead of the original 1946 cream one.

Featured review
The black people in this movie aren't depicted as lazy or stupid or criminal. Uncle Remus is depicted as a wise and caring man. It's true that the black people are depicted as subservient, but what movie from this period doesn't portray them as such? It would be historically inaccurate to depict the opposite. Should EVERY movie from this period with black people in it be banned? Disney is run by politically correct buffoons. Ironically, the song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. is played at Disneyland. The animation in Technicolor is beautiful. Some of the acting is rather stiff, but it's a warm hearted tale, and the Bre'r Rabbit stories are fun.
