Bre'r Rabbit - Disney Style!

-




Bre'r Rabbit concept art, Bill Peet.  Song of the South.





An entire ride built around a rarely seen cartoon.





Bre'rs Rabbit and Bear.  Bill Peet.





From Bre'r Rabbit  #2.  Fucking adorable. 





With tarbaby.  Disney is ashamed of this film because many think it is racist.  Hmmm...first black man to get an Academy Award did so by being in this flic.  Walt befriended Baskett and pushed for the award.  Walt could be a very good person at times.   The animation is of the highest quality and the story was pure gold!  Oh, and there are two Special Academy Award winners in this.  Baskett is one, who is the other?

The white kid in this clip is Bobby Driskoll, Academy Award winner, escorted by guards off the lot on Walt's orders aged 15.  Died an unidentified junkie in an abandoned tenement building in 1968 and was buried in a mass grave on Hart's Island, NYC.  He was 30 years old.  He was identified through a fingerprint search two years later.  His body will never be found.
Walt could be a sorry motherfucker at times.




James Baskett.  Dead at 44.





In front of the Magic Castle, Orlando.  Disney has a winner of a character here and they know it.





The same.  Looks like bronze to me. I am going to acquire this if I have to do so at gunpoint, see if I don't!





Keep looking up!





Or down, as the case may be.

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
