UNCLES REMUS AND HIS TALES OF BRER RABBIT
FROM THE 1946 WALT DISNEY FILM "SONG OF THE SOUTH"

In the 1880s Joel Chandler Harris began to publish whimsical, imaginative stories that accurately reproduced local Black folktales in authentic language. The stories centered on the character of Uncle Remus, a former slave who is the servant of a Southern family. To entertain the young son, Uncle Remus tells him stories about animals that act like humans, such as Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear. With these stories and other works depicting Southern life, Harris became one of the first American authors to use dialect to provide an important record of Black oral folktales in the Southeastern United States.

POKEY #15167

How Gumby and Poky became such good friends. One day Gumby went into a western town on the desert. There were two sets of railroad tracks, and Pokey had his hoof caught in the switch mechanism where the tracks shifted over, and you don't dare get your foot caught in that mechanism. To save him, Gumby had to throw the switch, and he did so just before the train went by. Pokey was saved and they became buddies from then on.

Pokey is 10 inches tall and has a movable mouth. History provided by http://www.gumbyworld.com/.
