Hi,
AW!
"Famous Russian writer" is Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1848 - July 3, 1908). He was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories.
Walt Disney's "Song of the South" (1946), a combination of live action and animation with James Baskett as Remus

Splash Mountain is a long flume at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, and the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort, based on the characters, stories, and songs from the film "Song of the South". Each installation begins with a peaceful outdoor float-through that leads to indoor dark ride segments, with a climactic steep drop into a "briar patch" followed by an indoor finale. The drop is 50 feet.
The plot behind Splash Mountain is a composite of several Uncle Remus stories. Each ride presents scenes taken from the animated segments of "Song of the South", telling the story of Br'er Rabbit.
