Note that the voice of Br'er Rabbit was provided by Johnny Lee and that the voice of Br'er Bear was provided by Nick Stewart, but neither were billed on the posters! Finally, note that this is a very controversial movie. It was re-released by Disney in 1956, and then in 1970, because of concerns about the portrayal of the black characters, it was announced by Disney that the movie had been "permanently" retired. However, they quickly changed their mind and re-released it in 1972, 1973, 1981, and 1986, but after that, they have not again released it in the United States (oddly, they made it available on video in Europe and Asia, and many bootlegs have been made from those videos). A main part of the controversy is that some people feel that the black people are shown as being content to be slaves, as though slavery was "good" for them. Actually, the movie takes place after the Civil War, so the black people are not slaves, but the point is still understandable, because an awful lot of black people were treated terribly at that time. But if one wants to ban this movie, then how about Gone with the Wind, and so many others that have similar depictions of black people in a much earlier time?

Important Added Info: Note that this is only the second time we have auctioned a complete set of lobby cards for this movie in all our years of auctioning. The earlier one that we had sold for $1,001! Condition: very good. The title card has smudges around the edges, with a few tiny creases and a small tear in the middle of the left blank border. The card with Br'er Rabbit on the spit has a yellow stain in the middle of the left and right borders (surely from coming into contact with paper tape that was on the back of the card above it). The card with the two kids and the bird has staple holes in the top border. The other five cards are solidly "very good", with a few probably "very good to fine". See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of these lobby cards. Learn More about condition grades
