DVD Reviews of The Adventures of Brer Rabbit
DVD Review: Less Controversy
Summary: 4 Stars
Cute. Brought up to date. And far less controversy than the Song of the South created. But as cute as it is, Brer Rabbit is still the Brer Rabbit we knew and loved in Song of the South. It will be great when Disney wakes up and releases that movie again.DVD Review: Look out for the Tar Baby!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good movie. Don't expect to see Uncle Remus either. He ain't here. I'm as nostalgic as anyone, but I don't live in the past. This is not a "Gone with the Wind" throwback with happy Negroes caring for the needs of White folks (nothing wrong with loving each other but this is 2009, those "Driving Miss Daisy" images should be put to rest.
That being said this is agreat family movie. The voice characterizations are wonderful and the animation is very good. This movie is funny, witty, and intelligent. Brer Rabbit is still Brer Rabbit and he gets taught some well deserved lessons along the way.
One review said this was a vain attempt to make a "POLITICALLY CORRECT" version of an old "classic." I doubt the writers even had that in mind. This is just a good, funny cartoon with excellent African-American voice characterizations. Ignore the ignorant and negative reviews. I highly reccomend this movie.

Summary: 5 Stars
It is exactly what it is a DVD of THE ADVENTURES OF BRER RABBIT every house with little ones should have a copy.DVD Review: A Disgrace to the African American Spirit
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
DVD Review: it's a reasonable substitute for Song of the South...
Summary: 5 Stars
well worth the $[...] I gave for it @ Wally World; my HD DVD & Blu gay players make this film the closest to HD of any DVD in my collection!!!
it's a reasonable substitute for Song of the South...
while it's NOT the real thing, it'll do until Disney releases SotS on Blu gay; or lets their copyright expire & I release it on Blu ray!
Description of The Adventures of Brer Rabbit
Get ready for all of the laughs, adventure and hip-hopping good times in this all-new imaginative and modern retelling of Uncle Remus' best-loved tales. Parents and kids alike will delight in the escapades of the most mischievous and clever Brer Rabbit as he gleefully outwits Brer Fox, Brer Bear and a whole cast of other critters! With irresistible and toe-tapping new songs and an all-star lineup of voice talent (Wayne Brady, Nick Cannon, Danny Glover, D.L. Hughley and Wanda Sykes), The Adventures of Brer Rabbit is sure to be a family favorite for years to come!The tale of a crafty, mischievous little rabbit who outsmarts even the fiercest animals, Brer Rabbit is a computer-animated rendering of Uncle Remus's "The Adventures of Brer Rabbit". Brer Turtle (voiced by Danny Glover) introduces Janey (Rhyon Nicole Brown) to Brer Rabbit (Nick Cannon) by describing how Brer Rabbit's miscommunications with man and the Moon (Wanda Sykes), combined with his insatiable appetite for vegetables, initially caused the descent of animals from space to earth. As Janey and Brer Turtle follow Brer Rabbit through his encounters with Brer Bear (Gary Anthony Williams), Brer Wolf (Wayne Brady), and Brer Fox (D.L. Hughley), his cleverness and cunning are evident as he continually outsmarts the other animals to benefit his own situation. Brer Rabbit's exploits lead to his exclusion from friendship with the other animals and, while he does eventually exhibit some compassion toward Brer Turtle, he remains a trickster to the end who's professed secret is to "give the other animals what they think they want." Several catchy songs add to the appeal of these classic Southern African-American stories. DVD bonus features include "Outfox the Fox for Fish," a very challenging series of math and logic problems and "The Great Brer Chase," a set of trivia questions based on the movie.
