From the folks at National Lampoon, where good taste was never an issue:
Here at Disney, we had a dream, and now we are proud to present it to you: the post - Civil War story of a young slave boy named Forty Acres (Malcolm Jamal Warner), freed from laboring on the plantation when it's revealed that he is directly descended from Thomas Jefferson. Forty has to travel long distances and dangerous roads through the Deep South to find a new home where he will be accepted. His only friend along the way is plantation escapee Stubbie (Bobcat Goldthwait), a magical mule that can lighten Forty's skin tone and correct his grammar when the need arises. But they still have to stay on their big black toes because Coony the Bloodhound (Tom Wopat), the head of a temperamental group of dog-supremacists, is sure to smell trouble if Forty and Stubbie don't wade in the water. Featuring the hit songs, with lyrics by Tim Rice, "Lawdy Lawdy Please Don't Lynch Mah Negro Neck, Suh" and the stirring ballad, "This Nation's Forefathers Will Never Again Forcibly Take My Mother In That Manner."Note: Because of past experience with youngsters and the foreign-born visiting this site, I should probably do the responsible thing and point out that this is not real, that it's a parody. But I won't.
