"Down in Dixie" is the sort of short cartoon that went over well back in the day...but would likely cause coronaries if shown today! This Van Buren film is one that you can find on YouTube...but considering what it is, you might not want to bother.
The film features some of the major characters from the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" but with little of the plot. You see Uncle Tom, Topsy and Little Eva...as well as Simon Legree. But the situations...well they are pretty new and weird. After begin chased off by Legree, the characters wander into the snow and ice...which is odd as the film is set in the South and is warm...at least initially. Then why does it look like Alaska for much of the rest of the film....and Alaska in winter!!
The bottom line is that the plot is a confusing mess and the characters are clearly the sort that are bound to offend. I've seen worse...though this is hardly a glowing endorsement! And, at least Legree is seen as a villain and the characters good.
