      Uncle Remus: You can't run away from trouble. There ain't no place that far.

    9/10

    A very effective blend of live-action and animation that is sadly unavailable in the US.

    I saw this on one of it's re-releases when I was very young and it has stayed with me. It is one of Disney's best efforts and I'd love to see it again. Unfortunately, Disney is loathe to offend anyone and it therefore seems that this film will be consigned to the vaults because Disney is unwilling to risk any heat. It's too bad, because the film teachs tolerance among other lessons. Recommended, if you can see it at all.
