3 songs in the Soundtracks, and they were not repeated often. I would not have nominated this for Musical.
I think all the voices are African-American actors. The humans in the story are black, but modern, not old South.
Stories quickly lost my attention. Interesting beginning: some animals didn't start their existence on Earth, but in the sky with the Moon. She sent Rabbit down with a message, and he loved the food and the sights, so when he and Moon fought later, he emigrated to Earth with others following. What he didn't realize was all the predators down here. But he's cheery and outwits them all. Whatever.
