Brer Fox is the primary antagonist in the animated sequences of the 1946 Walt Disney-produced film Song of the South. He is a character from the Uncle Remus folktales adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris The character was voiced by actor James Baskett, who also portrayed the live-action character Uncle Remus. In contrast to the Br'er Fox in the earlier illustrations of Frederick S. Church, A. B. Frost, and E. W. Kemble, the Disney animators depict the character in a more slapstick, cartoony style.
Brer Fox appeared primarily in the Uncle Remus sunday comic strip which initially adapted the stories used in the films before going into other stories of the Brer Animals. Outside these particular strips, he has also worked with the Big Bad Wolf, and along with Brer Bear, matched wits with Chip 'n' Dale, and have made attempts in hunting Bambi and his friends.
J. Pat O'Malley was briefly considered for the voice of Br'er Fox.
His voice isn't entirely in sync with the animation as a result of James Baskett's quick-paced delivery.
