A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Having a Promotional Homo Video Original Copy of Disney's 'Song Of The South' from 1995, and having read all of the books of Joel Chandler Harris, all I can say is this is JUNK.This is totally computerized, Politically Correct, Feminist approved, National Association for the Advancement of "Cheesy" People approved-- yes my opinion of that organization, which unfairly and unjustly smeared the original Disney classic WITHOUT ANY OF ITS MEMBERS EVER ACTUALLY SEEING THE FILM IN ITS ENTIRETY.And Yes I can say that about them because I am Black Myself. Father is a Black Man from Trinidad, Mother from Venezuela. Currently I live in Trinidad.#1. As with almost anything Hollywood makes today, it's all about the Girls coming of Age, and let's just forget about Boys ever becoming of age.#2. The fact that the 'Gullah' accent or the Historical Southern African-American dialect is absent from the Characters, which is a BIG BIG dis-service and injustice to both Harris' books and the Disney Classic makes it BORING & LAME. Because with the accent, the stories LOSE A HUGE PART OF THEIR ESSENCE. And Artistically speaking, Animated Characters are much much more fun and more interesting to watch when they speak with an accent.It was like having the stories TRANSLATED from Gullah to Corporate North American English, and as with anything else that gets translated, once translated it loses lots of the essence that comes from being spoken in the Original Language.In My Opinion it's much more worth you while to go to www.songofthesouth.net and look at the ways in which you can take action to urge Disney to re-release the original Song Of The South.Very Boring, Very Awful, and completely watered down and soul-less version of the Books and the Original Disney classic.

Right now, this film is the only film based on the Tales of Uncle Remus I have, because the Disney Studios haven't re-release "The Song Of The South" on DVD, because of some controversy regarding it's content. But I have seen that movie online and quite frankly I love both films; I am not one to take sides.This film is loosely based on Julius Lester's take on the stories, and the film starts with a bored little girl named Janey. Then she met up with Brer Turtle and he told the stories of Brer Rabbit's madcap adventures. You know, in "Brer Rabbit breaks up The Party" it was kind of mean that the other critters won't let Brer Rabbit join the party; but he is lucky to have a friend like Brer Turtle. So anyway, I love this film.

Having a copy of "Song of the South" which this is the politically correct replacement for, I was truly disappointed with this. "Song of the South" is not that great a movie by todays technical standards, but in its day it was revolutionary in the merging of animation and real actors. The Adventures of Brer Rabbit is nothing but modern politically correct trash. The Adventures of Brer Rabbit, which some people may find offensive to their own spiritual belief systems today, lacks any basis in the folk tales of a group of Americans that was part of our heritage. Those folk tales were the story of Brer Rabbit, not this politically correct enhanced trash.That story (Song of the South) is a part of our history, for better or worse. Slavery, as well as the way the Black actors of Song of the South were treated in Atlanta at the time of Oscar Awards was terrible beyond belief. Anyone today who believes singing happy slaves were a way of life in the old south is an idiot. But America is not the only nation with a history of slavery. Most nations of the world have that practice in their history, some still do today. Stop beating ourselves up over it, and pretending it never existed. The history of the native American people is an even greater horror story. Some of it caused intentionally by Europeon immigrants to the Americas. Some of it just twists of fate that befell them in the collision of 2 cultures. But what a horror story that is. Films weren't always based in total reality back when Song of the South was made, neither are they today. But the rewriting of our historical make believe films smacks of another film/story "1984".Don't tease the people with this stuff, re-release the original movie where Brer Rabbit was made a star "Song of the South".

I just watched this movie with my kids. We all loved it. They've seen the original Song of the South and we all love that as well. I miss the mixture of live action with animation that was in the first one. I especially missed the original music but, the music in "Adventures" was very good. The animation in this movie was excellent and I thought all the characters were well played, especially Brer Rabbit. No doubt the Uncle Remus character was replaced by Brer Turtle. So, in some ways it was better than the original and in others it wasn't. We'll watch it again! We're hopeful that one day Disney will pay tribute to another great example of how African Americans have helped define American culture!
