The story

The short opens to an orchestral rendition of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home" (1851), immediately setting the scene in the rural South of blackface minstrelsy. The setting is Lazy Town, perhaps the laziest place on Earth. Neither the town's residents (all stereotypes of dark-skinned African-Americans) nor the animals can be bothered to leave their reclining positions to do anything at all.
