The Adventures of Brer Rabbit

The Adventures of Brer Rabbit is a 2006 American direct-to-video animated comedy film loosely inspired by the African American Brer Rabbit stories popularized by Joel Chandler Harris.

The film notably features an all-black cast, including Nick Cannon as the titular character.

Brer Turtle explains that the animals once lived as constellations in outer space, watched over by Sister Moon.

When Sister Moon catches a cold, she tasks Brer Rabbit to send a message to a human on Earth named Mr. Man that she will be going away for a while to recuperate through a series of metaphors.

Brer Rabbit soon gets an idea to retaliate by covering himself in mud, leaves and sticks and pretends to be a monster to scare away the animals, putting an abrupt end to the party.

The rabbit sees a briar patch and gets an idea to use reverse psychology to make them throw him in there.

In the final vignette, Janey takes what Brer Rabbit said to heart and dupes Lester into wanting their mom's dinner, which is tuna casserole, much to his dismay.

The film ends by showing Sister Moon in outer space watching over the rabbit with a smile before winking at the audience.
