- Br'er Fox
Br'er Fox is a
fictional character from theUncle Remus folktales adapted and compiled byJoel 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 actorJames Baskett , who also portrayed the live-action characterUncle Remus . In contrast to the Br'er Fox in the earlier illustrations ofFrederick S. Church ,A. B. Frost , andE. W. Kemble , the Disney animators depict the character in a more slapstick, cartoony style.
