Only if you promise to find me a high quality copy of the movie you use as your screen name. I have a low quality reproduction but I think it is a wonderful movie and it is a shame that it was taken off the market under the pretense that it has some kind of diabolical racial message to it, Uncle Remus was my hero when I was a small boy learning to read. I still remember when all the characters seemed as real to me as my own family.

Song of the South (1946)

Uncle Remus: There's other ways of learnin' 'bout the behind feet of a mule than gettin' kicked by him, sure as I'm named Remus. And just because these here tales is about critters like Br'er Rabbit an' Br'er Fox, that don't mean it can't happen to folks! So 'scuse me for sayin' so, but them who can't learn from a tale about critters, just ain't got the ears tuned for listenin'.

 

There was a wisdom and a gentleness in the movie --- and it portrays people in a simpler manner --- the way they once were. Uncle Remus was and is dear to the hearts of many of us.

I would have to find two good quality copies of the movie --- one for me and one for you. If you find one first, pick one up for me, too.

I wonder if there are any FReepers who remember Miss Minerva and William Green Hill? That wonderful book fell from favour for the same reasons but remains near and dear to my heart to this day.
