Welcome to Disney this day. I'm Egon
Bonkers. And on this day in 2000, O
Brother, where art thou was released by
Disney's Touchstone Pictures. It loosely
adapted elements of Homer's The Odyssey
into the depression era in the Deep
South. Three convicts escape from a
chain gang and then go through a series
of fantastical escapades while searching
for hidden treasure and evading a
relentless sheriff. The film's main
theme song, I am a man of constant
sorrow, helped the soundtrack win a
Grammy award for the album of the year,
and that was 25 years ago. Did you see
this movie? Do you know the song? I
think they're both kind of fun,
especially the song. Anyway, have a
magical day.
