I've said it once and I'll say it again: Nobody in this movie was a slave! Slavery was abolished after the civil war. People originally protesting the movie did not get this, and obviously people now don't either. UNCLE REMUS WAS NOT A SLAVE, nor was anyone else in the movie. They were free. The contreversy comes from the black stereotypes that were portrayed, including African -Americans working on a plantation. But they were portrayed as willing workers not, slaves.
