I'm not sure why they felt the need to make it look like the original in California. It had it's own unique identity. Colorful and very appealing fountains. Those fountains are not only some of my earliest Disney memories, but some of my earliest memories I have of my life, as I was two years...

Floyd Norman gives his opinion of Song of the South https:///2020/07/black-animator-defends-song-of-the-south-ne1/ keep in mind this is Inside the Magic and they have been trash for years. But I thought I’d share nonetheless.

Why? I thought it was a pretty clever commercial. A cast member doing the tram spiel referenced it when I was at AK last year.

I have no idea. I know nothing of SeaWorld. All I’m saying is because of the publicity of this change, people are more aware of Song of the South than before. The announcement of this change made national news. The Streisand effect in full.

They don’t need to defend it. I’ve learned over the years that damage control is worse than actually staying silent and ignoring criticism, as the criticism fades over time. More often than not, damage control makes everything worse. As they say, There’s no such thing as bad publicity. If Disney...

Louis Armstrong is a white supremacist?

Animal Kingdom isn't a zoo though. Remember this? 😆

I feel like most of the people that have problems with it haven’t even seen it. I had a friend who said it was racist but hadn’t actually seen it. I showed it to him and he said “That was it?”

How about an original story? We haven’t had an original attraction since 2006. It’s time for one.

They know less than nothing. I saw several (at least 20 so far) people disappointed they aren’t re-theming it to The Emperors New Groove. How that fits into Frontierland in any way, shape, or form, I don’t know. This is the average Disney guest, everyone.

I guess you’re through debating with me. I’m finished too. Been a long day. I do have to say, while we disagree immensely, thanks for keeping it civil. I’m always down for a civil debate.

So I’ll ask you this. Do you want every Disney movie on Disney+ with problematic stereotypes to be removed? Or is the disclaimer they have good enough for you personally?

I have before but that’s irrelevant. The fact that it’s there is what’s important. I would have never even known the disclaimer on Disney+ was there if the media didn’t report on it, as it’s in a tiny font. My question still stands. If it’s good enough for movies, why not attractions?

Still don’t get why Disney can’t put up a disclaimer at the ride entrance next to the safety information explaining how Splash Mountain and Song of the South no longer reflect the current views of the company. It would safe them boatloads of money, and it would make both camps happy. They do it...

There are others, but this is one of the worse ones. Makes Song of the South look quite tame in comparison. I realize this is the 1930s, but this would be pretty much pass for KKK propaganda if it was made today.

And? Doesn’t negate the fact Mexican audiences didn’t have a problem with the portrayal of their culture when the movie came out.

You know me quite well then! Joking aside, no classic Disney fan (which a lot of these imagineers are) were excited for that change. I was far from the first person to make that repugnant joke. You should see the like to dislike ratio on that video. Here it is if you don’t believe me:

Exactly. Doubt he’s happy about it . Just when they got Rohde on video to say how great GotG taking over ToT was. Probably at gunpoint by the cameraman.

I’ve seen it thrown around here and there. Nothing major, but I’ve definitely seen a few people say it.
