Br'er Fox
Br'er Fox is a fictional character from the Uncle Remus folktales adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris.
Br'er Fox is the primary villain in the animated sequences of the 1946 Walt Disney-produced film Song of the South. The character was voiced by actor James Baskett, who also portrayed the live-action character Uncle Remus. In contrast to the Br'er Fox in the earlier illustrations of Frederick S. Church, A. B. Frost, and E. W. Kemble, the Disney animators depict the character in a more slapstick, cartoony style.[1]
The cult film Coonskin, directed by Ralph Bakshi, focuses on a trio of characters inspired by the original folktales, and the characters Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear, and Br'er Fox (renamed Preacher Fox in Bakshi's film).
