Splash Mountain re-theme announced

I bet the Tiki Room will be rethemed soon.

Country Bear Jamboree will stay, because appropriating rural white culture is the only form of mockery that is still okay.

Hey can the Oriental Land Company please buy the parks?

Sincerely,

"I know the fans are going to be over the moon."

No...No I am not over the moon.

A petition, some twitter outrage, and a bit of astroturfed bloggers have likely effectuated more real change in the parks than all of us have done in our years on this forum.

Maybe we've gone about this all wrong.

CBJ is not long for this world.

Ridiculous...I’ve got nothing else.

How sad it must be for certain people to go through life finding offense in everything and anything they can come up with. It must be exhausting. The list of offenses will never end with these people. It's never enough.

 

[jaklgreen]

If thousands of people are offended enough to sign a petition, is it okay with you if Disney change the theme of their attraction?

The issue is that there will ALWAYS be people who are offended by something. Be it a legitimate reason or because this is how they feel morally superior to the rest of us. Just because you yell the loudest does not make you right.

Unreal. I honestly thought to suggest that was just pure sarcasm.

I have never considered myself a conspiracy theorist... but 2020 is out to get us.

Honestly, thank god that Disney Parks Fans haven't been able to cause change. I like the way things are going.

It has no racist past. A bear and a fox are after a rabbit. Your opinions will suck the life out of everything fun.

Wrong again. Quite the track record though....

Under New New Management?

I’ve heard someone mention that it appropriates Pacific Island culture or something... who knows ‍♂

[UNCgolf]

Wonder how they lost all that power?

I mean, didn't I answer that in what you just quoted? White supremacy?

I legitimately don't understand the point of your post. I think you just totally misinterpreted what I was saying.

 

[lebeau]

Respectfully, yes it would be....but it wasn't told by an enslaved black man. Uncle Remus was not an enslaved man.

That notion is inferred by people who want to create a racial issue, where none exists. Now, if the Disney movie said illustrated he was...it would be a different story of course.

Song of the South: the difficult legacy of Disney's most shocking movie

There are plenty of examples of pernicious racism in Song of the South that are right there on the surface: the minstrelsy of the animated characters, particularly Br’er Fox; the slang in the dialogue; a wandering chorus singing traditional black songs; and, most notoriously of all, a fable where Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear use a tar baby to fool and ensnare Br’er Rabbit. (That part didn’t make Splash Mountain.) Yet the subtle low point of the film comes in Remus’s narration just before Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, when he reminiscences about how things were “a long time ago,,” when “every day was mighty satisfactual”. “If you’ll excuse me for saying so,” he adds, “’twas better all around.”

If only we had them back in 2007.... the Yeti might've actually gotten fixed.
