OP55. How about Darth Vader as the Tar-Baby?


Now that Disney owns Star Wars, methinks
There’s a swell chance for cross-over links.
     They could surely embarrass
     Poor Joel Chandler Harris:
Unc' Remus’s rôle – Jar Jar Binks!

Song of the South (1946), based on the fables of Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908), was Disney’s first full-length film to combine live actors with animation.  It starred James Baskett as raconteur Uncle Remus and featured the Oscar-winning original song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah as sung by Baskett.

Disney also seeks the rights (not!) to make an animated version of The Passion of the Christ.  In the scene where Pontius Pilate offers the crowd its choice of prisoners for pardon, the mob shouts, “Give us Br’er Rabbit!”

    If it's a parody, I'd pay to see that...I enjoy watching religion be made fun of. Although it does that well enough on its own. The real movie is as bloody a flick as you'll ever see, btw.

    And I think a more likely cross-over has Mickey Mouse playing Luke Skywalker, but...
