Uncle Remus?
Oh boy oh boy, wonder if they're gonna put slaves in this one too. Maybe while they are raping a classic, they can make Uncle Remus white and have Brer Rabit do a couple of rap songs.
sharemust everyone on IMDB overuse the term "rape" when describing their feelings on a movie they haven't even seen and how it relates to what they feel is a "classic." At this point it's lost all meaning.
I just saw a preview for this and i think it looks pretty cool. I don't think Uncle Remus is in it.
Overused, but effective. The first poster is right. The original was wonderful. People are too uptight. A Remus story with no Remus? An all black cast? It seems like an apology movie to me. But on the good side, it may very well open up enough awareness and feedback about the original that it could get a release. Although I doubt it. It's ridiculous.
shareI disagree. You, the original poster and everyone else that bashes a movie without seeing it are just being prejudice. And ANY term loses its effectivness when it is overused.
I may or may not see this movie (I probably will because the animation looks pretty good), and if Disney ever releases "Song of the South" I'll probably buy that too. But this film cannot be an "apology" movie as it's from a different studio and made decades after the first, i doubt any of the original creators are involved.
I personally am very prejudice, yes. I prefer racist. I belong to a group that meets on the weekends. We have uniforms.
shareOh please. How juvenile (no pun intended). I don't mean against races. I mean in the sense that you are pre-judging films.
sharewho knows, brandon. might be good. i didn't realize a different studio was doing it. i'll give it a chance of course, but...nick cannon...jesus christ
shareFirst of all of course these people are prejudging films. they're a bunch of nerds with too much time on they're hands, so the judge movies, kinda like i use my time to judge and mock them. Second of all Nick Cannon is Hilarious.
shareguessing you meant "so THEY judge movies". and as for the rest of what you said...i'm just speechless
shareI'm going to be a bigger man here and let this one go because it would be just too easy. But, gir42, so you know in the future... they're is a contraction, used to say "they are." I believe what you want to say is "they're a bunch of nerds with too much time on THEIR hands."
shareI'm still a little surprised I have to point this out, but. . .
this is not a remake of "Song of the South".
SotS was inspired by the Uncle Remus stories of Joel Chandler Harris
and Walt Disney's insatiable desire to infantilize and bastardize
every authentic work of art he came across (cf. Mary Poppins).
This movie is based on the original stories - and believe me, it's
less of a travesty than SotS was.
For the record, before seeing the movie (last week) I had no idea who
Nick Cannon was, and really could not care less that they cast him to
voice Rabbit. If you're going to slag the movie sight unseen and sound
unheard because you've got a hate-on for the guy, well, p a t h e t i c.
