Happy 69th Anniversary Song of the South!

Hello everyone,

Today is the 69th annviersary of the premiere of Disney's Song of the South. A film that has caused controversy over the years, Song of the South is not one that readily celebrated, however, the characters do appear at the Disney parks around the world. We love to meet the Brers, and so in my usual style, I thought I would share some of our favourite moments with them,   [ Read More... ]
Happy 67th Birthday Song of the South!

Today, November 12th, is the 67th anniversary of the premier of Walt Disney's Song of the South. It was shown at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in the presence of Walt Disney himself.

Telling the fables of old Uncle Remus, Song of the South brought to life colourful world of Br'er Rabbit and his Briar patch.
Song of the South is a much loved Disney Classic, but has sadly never been released on DVD, and was only ever on VHS for a short time in the UK, many years ago (I am fortunate enough to own a copy, and retain my video player for the sole purpose of being able to watch this rare tape!).

Fortunately, the Disney Parks around the world have welcomed Br'er Rabbit and his friends, and they have appeared in numerous parades and events throughout the years. Of course, we cannot forget that the beloved Disney attraction, Splash Mountain, is based on Song of the South, at Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland.

So, in our usual Character Central style, here are those fuzzy critters in a photo cavalcade, to celebrate their big day!

Happy Birthday Song of the South!

Today is the 66th anniversary of the premier of Walt Disney's Song of the South.

A live action and animated film combined, it features Uncle Remus telling the story of the critters from the Briar Patch.

The Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox are increasingly difficult to find at the Disney Parks these days, but have decided to make a special appearance here today on the Character Central Blog in honour of their special day!

Happy 66th Birthday to Br'er Rabbit and all the animals of the Briar Patch! May you forever inspire us to find our own Laughing Places to fill our lives with fun and laughter!
