Disney adaptions
In the animated sequences of the 1946 Walt Disney-produced film Song of the South like in the stales, Br'er Fox is the stories' antagonist, while Br'er Bear is his unintelligent accomplice. Br'er Fox was voiced by actor James Baskett, who also portrayed the live-action character Uncle Remus. In contrast to the earlier illustrations of Frederick S. Church, A. B. Frost, and E. W. Kemble, the Disney animators depict the characters in a more slapstick, cartoony style.[2]
The Disney versions of the characters have made appearances in other works:
Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear appear in the Splash Mountain attractions at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland. They also appeared with Br'er Rabbit at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts for meet-and-greets, parades and shows.
A segment dedicated to the pair is featured in the 1956 one-hour television special Our Unsung Villains.
Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear make cameo appearances in several episodes of the Disney's House of Mouse television series, with Bonkers in the episode "Casabonkers", and in the direct-to-video release Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse.
Br'er Bear has made cameo appearances in other Disney films. He can be seen frequently in various scenes in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and he is also seen in The Lion King 1½ along with many other Disney toons coming into the theater in the ending scene.
Br'er Bear has also made sporadic appearances in Disney's Gladstone comics.[3] Although one Disney comic names Br'er Bear a title of "Honorary Constable of Cockleberry County"[4] his "performance" is more akin to Fearless Fosdick; as a comic relief villain Br'er Bear-along with Br'er Fox & Br'er Weasel-are members of the "Foul Order of Foulfellows".[5] {A possible member of the foulfellows is Br'er "Zeke" Wolf aka Big Bad Wolf although a running gag is that whenever he tries to catch either the Three Little pigs or a chicken, his plans go awry and Br'er wolf gets being pounded by Br'er Bear!}[6][7][8]
Br'er Fox is slightly smarter than Br'er Bear-although like his contemporary villain compatriot Br'er Zeke Wolf aka the Big Bad Wolf a running gag is that he usually fails whatever he tries[9][10] Only once did he ever succeed at anything-when he stole a chicken from a pen kept by the three Little Piggs[11]
They appear often in the Dutch Donald Duck comics, usually hunting Broer Konijn (Dutch for Brer Rabbit). There, they are also given the names Rein Vos and Bruin Beer, respectively.
Both Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox make an appearance in the 2011 video game Kinect: Disneyland Adventures (Disneyland Adventures in the 2017 remaster) and both can be seen near Splash Mountain in Critter Country.
The cult film Coonskin, directed by Ralph Bakshi, focuses on a trio of characters inspired by the original folktales. Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox (renamed "Preacher Fox" in the film) all appear, and the elements of the stories are moved to a then-contemporary urban setting.
