| Title: | Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby |
| Date: | 1946 |
| Description: | Image of a film still from the motion picture Song of the South (1946). In this movie still, Brer Rabbit is confused by the silence of the Tar Baby. Brer Rabbit stands to the right of Tar Baby, who sits on a log. Brer Rabbit is dressed in a pink shirt and blue pants, and Tar Baby wears a brown robe. Song of the South combined 70 percent live action and 30 percent animation in a format that was technically advanced for its time, but it received mixed reviews for artistic merit and criticism for its portrayal of black characters. |
