TALES
OF UNCLE REMUS
Week
04
Description
Uncle
Remus was created in the 1800s by Joel Chandler Harris, who grew
up on a plantation in the South during the days when slavery was
still very much a part of life. The first books Walt
Disney ever read were the Uncle Remus stories and he brought
them to life in 1946 with the release of Song
of the South. Because of it's stereotypes, some have
found this classic film objectionable and consequently it has
not been shown in theatres for years, nor has it been released
on DVD.
