Br'er Bear



Br'er Bear is a fictional character from the Uncle Remus folktales adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris.

Br'er Bear is a villain in the animated sequences of the 1946 Walt Disney-produced film, Song of the South; the character was voiced by Nick Stewart, in Australia, this character was voiced by Max Tegas. Br'er Bear is portrayed as stupid, slow-witted and prone to violence when provoked, leaving him open to being tricked repeatedly by Br'er Rabbit when he accompanies Br'er Fox. Unlike the character's depiction in the earlier illustrations of Frederick S. Church, A. B. Frost, and E. W. Kemble, the Disney animators redesigned Br'er Bear in a more slapstick, cartoony style.
