@@zd1306 Of course. Once something like racial accusations enters a conversation, things get mean and nasty really fast and I don't want that on my channel.
This album was big in my early childhood in the early '50s. A white boy in Texas, I grew up appalled that anyone could be mean to Uncle Remus or his people. He taught me anti-racism.
I think this is based on the book "Uncle Remus". The author grew up near a plantation and tried to gather up a bunch of stories from the slaves. So if you want more Brer Rabbit stories, lookup the book.
@@TheeCharmaine Interesting. I've always seen it attributed to Joel Chandler Harris. Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys talks about how Brer Rabbit stories were morphed from Yoruba stories about Anansi. I first learned about Anansi in grade 2, after having heard this record in kindergarten.
I was actually able to find SOTS on DVD recently. I surprised my dad with it last Saturday. Dad's 80 year old, and this was the 1st movie he ever saw in a theater. The racial issues aside, it actually is a good story. Uncle Remus is actually the hero of the movie, because he helps a young boy cope with not having his father around, by telling him stories.
I was the same way. I use to watch the Zip a Dee Doo Dah tape and see all these Brer Rabbit merchandise and books and had no idea what it was from and it took me until I was 10 to finally find out what the name of the film was and I'd been trying to find it for years. I finally got to see it when I was 13 and I loved it.
WOW!! Thank You So Much for sharing these Wonderful Stories!! I used to have the record player with the story books!! Born in January of '67, I remember family members buying me these for Christmas and my birthday! I absolutely loved them and now I share the stories with my grandchildren. It is an absolute joy!! Brer Rabbit was my favorite. I even remember asking my Uncle to read me the story over and over when I went to their house! Such great memories! Thank you again! 💕✌🏼
Thanks so much for posting! Had the cassette version when I was little and just found my book! Thanks for helping bringing back a piece of my childhood ❤
Holy shit. Millennial born in ‘93 and this brought me back. Before my mom graduated nursing school, we had laserdisc (which I had Pooh on!) and record players before upgrading to VHS and eventually DVD. My dad was especially fond of records and would often thrift and garage sale hunt. This was one of those lucky thrifts. Eventually years later we became WDW passholders and Splash Mountain was my favorite. Thanks for this!
Thanks for putting this up. I still have the book but lost/broke the cassette as a kid so I was wondering how this sounded all these years later. The paintings in the book are so nice looking.
Growing up in the 70s, I owned a variation of this album as a double-sided 33 1/3 LP, along with a collection of others (Pete's Dragon, Peter Pan, etc), and there were no turn the page chimes. What's fascinating, is that the unmistakable voice of Uncle Remus narrated the album, complete with his trademark laugh & mannerisms. This reading is clearly by a White speaker, and it lacks Remus' thick, Southern drawl. Anyone who has seen the live action film will instantly recognize the difference. This feels like a watered down version, created by Disney as a compromise to complaints of potentially racist tropes. That said, this brings back a flood of fond childhood memories & I hold out hope that someday, Disney will reconsider releasing the original film from the vaults, with a disclaimer, if necessary. Thank you for the upload! Update: your post prompted me to look for the alternate, full-length release. If you don't mind, happy to share a link. ua-cam.com/video/kaj4bKEfj4M/v-deo.htmlsi=H2ATSNzDZ3aP_VLx
I had this story on tape when I was a child. I used to play it every day during the vacation. It was part of a series of stories that were on the same tape. They were all part of this classic Disney collection with the chimes. Pete's Dragon, Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz were also on the same tape.
I don't know why but I decided to record this to memory. I mean exactly! The run time for me to perform the story with the whole; " You can read along...." lines and songs was almost the exact same runtime as the record. My youngest brother would come running up to me with the book asking for me to "read it to him." I'd start off performing and he'd settle down with the book. I could be doing the dishes or whatever while playing this stick of 9 and a half minutes of audio. He even had me perform it at the drop of a hat to his friends.
I still have my collection in my closet..one of the few things i have from my childhood. So cool to see how many of yall enjoyed this too. I liked its a small world too
Fave. I have a couple Song of the South soundtrack type LPs and the LP with the storybook - but never got this one :( Thanks for the post - classic and nothing wrong with this wonderful story. Not a single racist bone in this - AT ALL - this is art and a nice story and wonderfully executed. Classic as it gets - a huge part of my childhood memories.
This story was the result of my nightmares over a period of 7yrs. I used to dream i was stuck in tar maccaroni and i could never get up. It was so bad i would vomit everytime i had the dream
I want to see the movie! It should be allowed to be shown so we can make the decision on whether its offensive or not. ...Zip a dee doo da zip a yee yay.
My entire childhood is scarred. I still don’t understand how this is a lesson and I definitely did not understand what her baby was and the word just still sounds made up.
I remember him being tarred and feathered.... I could be wrong i guess, but that part i seem to remember as a child. My grandmother has the old Disney book. Maybe Mandela Effect? Lol
I couldn't rid of it completely. It appears shortly at the end of the record as well. I was able to lessen it a bit from what it originally was. I only use digital noise removal extremely sparingly because it attacks the over all dynamic range of the sound. I don't think this is 'static' either. I think the record may have been played with a bad needle at some point, damaging the groove. I was able to lessen it but any more would have made it sound worse so I decided to mainly leave it in. At least it's only momentary.
@@closetdisneynerd I'm a vinyl wh*** I appreciate the crackle. Every record is a unique story. To convert vinyl to digital is so anachronistic anyway haha. Thank you.
@@closetdisneynerd The record static and pop is normal for that era and should be preserved as such. This is what it sounded like to kids back then as most of us just had old worn out small cheap record players that we beat up playing these 45s constantly all day. That's how those of us who were there in that time remember it. Digitally taking it out to clean it up is erasing history in a way. The static and pop is part of the experience. Keep it authentic for the young generations who have never seen a record player in their life.
I often hear about Uncle Remus being racist. I worked in nursing homes with elderly Black patients. When they wanted tapes to listen to, they requested Uncle Remus and Amos and Andy. It was just funny entertainment and no one was offended .
They played this for us a couple of times in my kindergarten class (1981-1982). Hearing it now, I think the narrator is a white guy trying to sound black. He certainly sounds nothing like James Baskett in the songs.
If you are ever traveling in the Mojave Desert find yourself at the gas station at the Cima Road exit. There are three ' old west gold diggers' outside . Push the button. This same voice tells you to go inside to buy beef jerky and dried fruit.

Can I ask why?

Absolutely LOVED these cassettes.
I was fortunate enough to ride on Splash Mountain years ago. Fun ride!
Those page-turning chimes are a fond noise of my childhood 🙂
I just said that
GOOD MEMORIES
Same
Good Cherishable Nostalgic Memories
Same. Had this on cassette at one time, and it was paired with another Disney read-along, Pete's Dragon, if I recall.
I had this record book. I've forgotten all about it. I played it over n over. One of my favorite childhood stories 😁😁😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was one of mine too.
Me, too! 😂😂😂 I love it.
Same here! This brings back very fond memories for me. So glad that I found this on UA-cam and could listen to it once again. ^_^
I am 40 year-old yet I still remember this word for word. Wonderful childhood memories!!
Same here
Im 19 and still grew up on this
I am so glad I did not forget this book and song. Brings back great childhood memories
I used to have this in the 80's as a little girl! LOVED this story! Thanks for sharing and bringing me back!
You're very welcome
Truthfully I love that movie quite a bit, and this book is adorable!
This was my favorite book and record. I listened to this over and over.
Wore this record out as a child great memories
Love these stories and characters so much, such a fascinating history behind them too. Glad we have UA-cam to future generations can see them!
I had this book and record back in 1979. It was one of my favorites. Saw the movie in the theater in 1980.
One of my favorite records as a kid. Thanks for uploading!

I had this on cassette when I was little. Thank you for the fun memory.
Loved this as a child...forgot about the chime!!!
Had not thought about this in years, then today the song just popped into my head! I dont know why!
Thanks so much for posting! Had the cassette version when I was little and just found my book! Thanks for helping bringing back a piece of my childhood ❤

Those scratched up record sounds like my childhood.
I had this a kid, remember listening to this at my grandparents house 30 plus years ago

This is a sweet production - hitorical gem.
Thanks for posting
OMG! haven't heard this in so long. I'm thinking 40 years ago, as I'm 47-years-old:) LOL!
Have mercy...
I had this record and book as a child. I don't really remember listening to it, but I read the book a lot. 😊
I love this video and this book. I never had it, though. My grandpa actually grew up off of song of the south.
A Cultural Classic that is a national treasure. Protect this from the culture killers !
I will, to the death!
7:11-laughing place music. Also, Brer bear laughs like goofy
omg this took me back....waaaaay back
Oh thank you for this video, . I can hear my grandpa reading this.

This is a certified hood classic
To be honest, I don't see anything that's racist. I love the story in general
My mom bought me the story when I was about 8 years old with the record and I absolutely loved it.. I'm 50 now 😓
The tar baby kinda looks like if a penguin and the doll from coraline had a baby 😂
Had record and book. Had a big box full and kids record player. Too bad we didn't still have them.

Wonderful childhood memories!
I last heard this story more than 40 years ago. Nostalgia bomb.
I had this book as a kid and it haunted my memories to this day.
Splash mountain brought me here
Super interesting!
The narrator sounds just like the DNA cartoon in Jurassic Park.
Sounds like Bob Holt doing voices.
Splash Mountain has been closed. :(

Omg memories just seeing that record
bruh the laugh from the bear in the end sound like goofy
the nostalgia-
I saw this book at my grandma’s house.
I remember this when I was elementary school.
Fun book to listen to
This story was the result of my nightmares over a period of 7yrs. I used to dream i was stuck in tar maccaroni and i could never get up. It was so bad i would vomit everytime i had the dream
Man, I used to listen to this on cassette
Does anybody else think of the little girl in "Savannah Smiles" telling this story when they hear it?
I loved that movie...and I don’t know of anyone else who watched it
@@juliad8365 Well, you know have a friend with something in common.
I haven’t thought about that movie in years!!!

EXCELLENT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How much do these record and book sets sell for in good condition?
I have no idea. I'd check out the listings on ebay
This gave me nightmares as a kid. Especially the Rabbit Ears Entertainment version
Glad I could help bring back happy memories for you! XD
