When I was a kid this used to be one of my favourite animated musical films from Walt Disney Pictures. A little boy named Johnny has his Dad go away for a while and he obviously didn't want him to go. Johnny runs away and meets up with a new friend, Uncle Reemus (Honorary Oscar winning James Baskett). He tells Johnny many wonderful stories about a magical place where Br'er Rabbit lives. He tells him all the adventures that Br'er Rabbit has escaping from Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear. Johnny obviously keeps going back to him with his friends. Johnny's Mother obviously doesn't like Uncle Reemus being with Johnny. A good film with some good cartoon sequences and quite a good ending. The guy that plays Uncle Reemus is really good, he also does Br'er Fox pretty well too. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Music for Daniele Amfitheatrof, Paul J. Smith and Charles Wolcott. It was number 47 on 100 Years, 100 Songs for the Oscar winning "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah". Worth watching!
