The Gallery's Perspective
There’s something warmly comic about the way this burly Brer Bear sits poised with knife and fork, all belly and expectation—part lumbering friend, part cartoonish gourmand. The porcelain captures his rounded, expressive shapes: the heavy, glossy brown of his fur, the soft curve of his belly, and the scruffy jaunty bandana and pale bib that frame his face. A cropped blue jacket adds a bright, cheerful hit of color, while the small log base gives him a grounded, storybook presence. His smile is sly rather than threatening, suggesting the bumbling appetite and gentle humor that define his character in the tales. As a display object, it reads less like a toy and more like a carefully observed animated personality—charming, affectionate, and a little mischievous—ready to sit on a shelf and make you smile every time you pass by.

Galumphing and a bit bumbling, Brer Bear is Brer Fox's bosom buddy, so when the crafty fox is ready to roast Brer Rabbit for dinner, the burly big guy is more than ready to dig in. The charm of animation is simplicity and pantomime, noted Eric Larson, one of the animal trio's directing animators. Where could you find three more clearly defined characters getting into strange predicaments than in [the tales of Brer Rabbit? The characters were especially fun to animate because they showed a lot of thinking going on behind them.Brer Bear (plussed with a pewter knife and fork) completes this classic scene between the clever rabbit, the sly fox and the dim-witted bruin, showing the rich and colorful chemistry Walt Disney and his artists crafted for the "three Brers."
