Now I vaguely remember watching this movie a few times as a kid and mainly for the memorable song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". Now this film follows a man who goes by Uncle Remus and his many stories to which he tells many young children. Uncle Remus is most likely a former slave but it it never blatantly stated, just assumed. This movie would relate to the post civil war era of reconstruction but rather from a political standpoint, it is from a common colored mans perspective in some sorts. There is much criticism about how racist this film is and although it may just seem like a harmless child's animated film, there are stereotypes within this movie that at first glance seem just way to glorified, however I looked into where these mini-stories came from and they actually we're originally written Joel Harris who actually was a well known black activist for the time, so I guess we could scratch off the racism factor for this movie. Now even though this is obviously a Disney Film and is meant for fun and laughs, there truly is little to none historical context seen throughout this movie. About halfway through this movie I was wondering the reason that this movie was listed, but soon came to realize that the reason wasn't because the movie itself was a historical reflection, but instead it was an unseen perspective of the reconstruction era that was somehow concocted and glittered up to Disney standards. I don't really know if I could call this "Good" or "Bad" history because at the end of the day, it's not really well..... a depiction of history at all. I guess it would have to be bad history considering how poorly the reconstruction era was depicted. One of my favorite things about this movie is the fact that many of its stories depict the message to think with your head before acting. Another message that may have been portrayed within the scene in which Brer Bear "helps" Brer Rabbit out of the trap along with a few other scenes, is that no matter what animal you are, we are all equal, a play on the issue of equal rights at the time. It is definitely possible for this movie to be seen the same way as it was in 1946 considering its target audience is mainly children. As a child there is no racism, people are simply people and that's that. After watching this film it honestly just seems like another Disney film, but worse, and that's that.
