Coonskin
This is it Folks!
Directed by Ralph Bakshi
Produced by Albert S. Ruddy Productions, Bakshi Productions
A provocative, formally audacious satire that blends live-action and animation to interrogate American racism, crime, and power through folk-tale archetypes and deliberate irreverence.
A multi-layered satire of race relations in America. Live-action sequences of a prison break bracket the animated tale of Brother Rabbit, Brother Bear, and Preacher Fox, who rise to the top of the crime ranks in Harlem by going up against a con-man, a racist cop, and the Mafia.
