This never-released-on-video Disney movie teaches us that the post-war reconstruction South wasn’t so bad, despite lynchings and all that hubbub. Look at how happy Uncle Remus was! When you can get employed by the plantation that used to own you like a human farm tool and cool kill you without blinking an eye, you’re so happy you could be in a psychadelic toothpaste commercial. It’s great thing that we ended that whole racism thing, guys. Great job!
Takeaway: None. My brain just quit.
