Uncle Remus And His Tales Of Br'er Rabbit
''Uncle Remus and His Tales of Br'er Rabbit'' is an American Disney comic strip that ran on Sundays from October 14, 1945, to December 31, 1972. It first appeared as a topper strip for the ''Mickey Mouse'' Sunday page, but after the first few years, almost always appeared on its own. The strip replaced the 1932-1945 ''Silly Symphony'' strip, which had spent its final year on gag strips featuring Panchito from ''The Three Caballeros''. The ''Uncle Remus'' strip began as a "preview" of the Walt Disney Productions film ''Song of the South'', which premiered a year later, on November 12, 1946. Disney had previously released comic strip adaptations of its animated feature films as part of the ''Silly Symphony'' Sunday strip, starting with ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' (1937–38), and continuing with ''Pinocchio'' (1939–40) and ''Bambi'' (1942). While those strips each ran for four to five months, and only told the story of the film, the ''Uncle Remus'' strip continued for al ...

These characters have been recorded by many different folklorists, but are most well-known from the folktales adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris, featuring his character Uncle Remus. Disney adaptions In the animated sequences of the 1946 Walt Disney-produced film ''Song of the South'' like in the stales, Br'er Fox is the stories' antagonist, while Br'er Bear is his unintelligent accomplice. Br'er Fox was voiced by actor James Baskett, who also portrayed the live-action character Uncle Remus, while Brer Bear was voiced by Nick Stewart.

The trickster crosses and often breaks both physical and societal rules: Tricksters "violate principles of social and natural order, playfully disrupting normal life and then re-establishing it on a new basis." Often, this bending or breaking of rules takes the form of tricks or thievery. Tricksters can be cunning or foolish or both. The trickster openly questions, disrupts or mocks authority.

Deep South
The Deep South or the Lower South is a cultural and geographic subregion in the Southern United States. The term was first used to describe the states most dependent on plantations and slavery prior to the American Civil War. Following the war, the region suffered economic hardship and was a major site of racial tension during and after the Reconstruction era.

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.
