As had been done earlier with ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' (1937), ''[[Pinocchio (1940 film)|Pinocchio]]'' (1940) and ''[[Bambi]]'' (1942), Disney produced a [[Disney comics#Comic strips|Sunday comic strip]] titled ''[[Uncle Remus and His Tales of Br'er Rabbit]]'' to give the film pre-release publicity. The strip was launched by [[King Features Syndicate|King Features]] on October 14, 1945, more than a year before the film was released. The previous comic strip adaptations of Disney films lasted for four or five months, but the ''Uncle Remus'' strip continued for almost thirty years, telling new stories of Br'er Rabbit and friends, until the strip was discontinued on December 31, 1972.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toonopedia.com/brerrab.htm|title=Br'er Rabbit|publisher=[[Don Markstein's Toonopedia]]|access-date=January 18, 2007|first=Don|last=Markstein|archive-date=May 27, 2024|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240527120642/https://www.webcitation.org/6bDugm3on?url=http://toonopedia.com/brerrab.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Apart from the newspaper strips, Disney ''Br'er Rabbit'' comics were also produced for comic books; the first such stories appeared in late 1946. Produced both by [[Western Publishing]] and European publishers such as [[Egmont Publishing|Egmont]], they continue to appear.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://inducks.org/character.php/x/BR/date/42|title=Inducks.org}}</ref>

In 1946, a Giant Golden Book entitled ''Walt Disney's Uncle Remus Stories'' was published by [[Simon & Schuster]]. It featured 23 illustrated stories of Br'er Rabbit's escapades, all told in a Southern dialect based on the original Joel Chandler Harris stories.

In 1986, [[Floyd Norman]] wrote ''A Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Christmas!'' featuring Uncle Remus and Br'er Rabbit as that year's annual ''[[Disney Christmas Story]]'' newspaper comic strip.<ref name=Holtz>{{cite book |last1=Holtz |first1=Allan |title=American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide |date=2012 |publisher=[[University of Michigan Press]] |location=Ann Arbor, Michigan |isbn=9780472117567 |page=422}}</ref> When the ''Christmas Story'' strips were reprinted in the 2017 collection ''Disney's Christmas Classics'', this story was omitted—the only deletion in an otherwise complete run of the strip.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Korkis |first1=Jim |title=Disney Christmas Treats |url=https://www.mouseplanet.com/12260/Disney_Christmas_Treats |date=December 19, 2018 |website=Mouse Planet |access-date=July 27, 2019}}</ref>
