Summary[edit]

Screenshot of James Baskett as Uncle Remus in the 1946 Disney film, "Song of the South". Image is copyright (c)1946, the Walt Disney Company.

Fair use rationale:

• This is a screenshot of the movie in question which has been cropped by the uploader to illustrate a specific actor and character. Specifically, it illustrates what actor Disney thought represented Uncle Remus well.
• Its use here is purely encyclopedic in nature.
• Its use here in no way limits the ability of the filmmakers to market or sell their product, nor does it defame the actor or franchise in question.
• This image is being displayed at a lower resolution.
• No profit is being made by the uploader or Wikipedia in the use of this image.
• No free alternative image is available.

Licensing[edit]

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots for critical commentary and discussion of the film and its contents on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the Copyright law of the United States.
