The tales of Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear are based on fables which were passed down by slaves in the old American south and were eventually written down by Joel Chandler Harris. Later they became characters in the Disney movie 'Song of the South

Br'er Fox is always trying to get Br'er Rabbit. He's sly and smart when it comes to making plans to catch Br'er Rabbit. But Br'er Rabbit always seems to get away. He likes rabbit stew a lot, but Br'er Rabbit makes sure he doesn't get any.
