Brer Wolf is the secondary antagonist in the 2006 film, The Adventures of Brer Rabbit.
His main goal throughout the film is to have Brer Rabbit for dinner, the same as Brer Fox's goal, though he always fails due to his hobby of easily falling for Brer Rabbit’s tricks.

Biography[]
"The Adventures of Brer Rabbit"[]
Brer Wolf's first main appearance and conflict with Brer Rabbit is when he is seen picking up Brer Rabbit by the ears and licking his lips. He attempts to eat Brer Rabbit, but Brer Rabbit tricks him into reminding him that he had to say grace before he ate, and got Brer Wolf to let him go to put his paws together and close his eyes to say grace. Brer Rabbit then turns and speeds away, laughing as Brer Wolf realizes his mistake and shouts out to Brer Rabbit angrily.
Brer Wolf is later seen fishing at the pond with the other animals, filtering with Sister Mink. She replies to his flirts by saying, "Mmm, hmm. Well, why don't you try that line on the fish, cause I'm not biting", and flicking her fishing line. The end line of the fishing pole hooks onto the back of Brer Wolf's pants and flips him over accidentally. Later in this scene, Brer Wolf falls in the pond with the other animals, fooled by Brer Rabbit's trickery involving Sister Moon scaring the fish from the pond-he is last seen there in the water, soaking wet.
Later on, Brer Wolf is seen at Brer Fox's party, dancing, when he gets bumped in the side by an elephant. He also gets scared away with the other animals after Brer Rabbit's trick when he frightens them all into running out of the house when looking like a muddy monster with horns and fangs.
Br'er Wolf telling Br'er Turtle stop struggling in the bag for he tried to sing.
Soon, Brer Wolf is scene with Brer Turtle, silently picking apples from a tree and putting them in a sack. Brer Turtle tries to convince Brer Wolf to be Brer Rabbit's friend again and forgive him, but he refuses. When Brer Turtle says that he, Brer Wolf, and Brer Fox, eat out critters and that no one holds it against them, Brer Wolf remarks back that he had that one thing right about him eating other critters. He picks up Br'er Turtle and puts him in the sack of apples, walking off with him and unaware of Brer Rabbit having scene the whole thing. Brer Rabbit then hurries ahead of Brer Wolf and digs a hole, ties a rope to a rock, puts the rock in the hole, covers the hole back up, and starts pulling on the rope while Brer Wolf passes him. Curious, Br'er Wolf asks him what he was doing, and Brer Rabbit tricks Brer Wolf into thinking that a Bull was buried in the ground. Brer Wolf then starts pulling the rope, and while his back is turned, Brer Rabbit takes a red ribbon and ties it around Brer Wolf's tail, making it flap for he pulls the rope like tail and pulls out and the rock bump on his head, and out of nowhere, the Bull charges at Brer Wolf and hits him, flinging him up, over the trees, and out of site, and Brer Rabbit saves Brer Turtle's life.
Mad Brer Wolf and Brer Fox in the Pond
Brer Wolf is then seen picking up Brer Rabbit by his ears while Brer Rabbit is tied up on the stick directly after the bees chase Brer Fox. Brer Rabbit remarks, "Don't you know any other way to say hello to a body?", since in their first confrontation, Brer Wolf picks Brer Rabbit up by his ears as he did moments ago in the scene. Brer Wolf chuckles and steps out of the bush he had been hiding in with a plate in one paw and takes Brer Rabbit off of the stick but keeps him tied up and on the plate. But Brer Rabbit yet again has another trick to pull, and he tells Brer Wolf about buried treasure in a nearby log by a hill where at the end in a pond. He gets Brer Wolf to untie him and Brer Rabbit ties up Brer Wolf, telling him that by doing so, it would help him squeeze into the log better. Foolishly convinced, Brer Wolf squeezes into the log but gets stuck, and as he struggles, Brer Rabbit, now untied, laughs and kicks the log over the side of the hill and into the pond. Angry, Brer Wolf pops out of the log, still tied up, at the same time Brer Fox suddenly appears in the water, frantically swatting the air as he remarks, "They're gone?! The bees! The bees!" After his panic fades, Brer Fox demands where Brer Wolf got his rope, and Brer Wolf is stopped in the middle of his sentence, as both of them realize what had just happened. And, seething with rage, the water around them grows hot and bubbles up as they growl, "Brer Rabbit!" together.
Directly after, Brer Wolf is seen planning Brer Rabbit's fate with Brer Fox, both of them thinking up the plan of a tar baby, which, after they finish the plan, Brer Rabbit gets stuck and trapped to. Once Brer Rabbit is trapped, Brer Wolf and Brer Wolf plan on what to do with Brer Rabbit, and decide to throw him in a briar patch after unknowingly agreeing to Brer Rabbit's final trickery. Once in the briar patch, Brer Rabbit jumps up and laughs, stating that he was born and raised in a briar patch. Both Brer Wolf and Brer Fox scream and look at each other in disbelief and anger before they, enraged, run forward and jump into the briar patch. They realize their mistake at the last minute, only to end up both covered in thorns and yowling and screaming with pain.
Br'er Wolf is not seen again after this scene.

Trivia[]
- Brer Wolf is very similar to Brer Bear from Song of the South, due to being the large dumb antagonist to Brer Fox's cleverness, which is very evident in the final segment, where they team up to get payback on Brer Rabbit.
