![]() The film and its songs provided the inspiration for the Splash Mountain attractions in the Disney Theme Parks. Bobby Driscoll and Luana Patten were Disney's first contract players, since this was the Studio's first major plunge into live-action filmmaking. But since Walt Disney was considered an animation film producer, it was felt that the film should contain at least some animated sequences. Thus, Uncle Remus's stories are shown in animation, along with some clever combinations of the live-action and animated characters. |
