Interesting to me they had a Mr. Toad style attraction planned that DIDN'T have any of the Wind in the Willows characters. Were Japanese audiences familiar with the movie at all?

Those animal animatronics look terrible, bro.

Tiana's over here at the states now, so to those of you that have gone on both which is better?

Were you able to go on Splash Mountain?

I can't believe it. After four long years of fighting, bickering, name-calling, and yelling, we're finally there. Merry Tiana Day to you and your kin!

Like what? Making it so the A-1000 animatronics of Tiana and Louis move consistently? I'm not sure what they plan on implementing because the sensors that go off to make them move seems to be the root cause.

That's interesting because he's shown living in the briar patch in the first scene.

Why wouldn't TWDC pay for it if they were that desperate to remove ALL Song of the South references from their parks. What kind of updates does Splash need? Are the animatronics aging and effects not working as well as they used to?

Something I'm curious about is whether or not they'll preserve the sets used for the shooting arcade. I can totally see modern Disney destroying it though.

I never actually used it because I kept forgetting it existed.

Walt said Disneyland would never be completed! 😆 😆 😆

You're on thin ice Mr. Toad, Twilight Zone, Tiki Room, and Aerosmith.

The cynic in me feels like one of the main reasons for the retheme was to sell food and cooking-related products.

It's funny you say that because Eisner was so heavily against putting the film on VHS with a content advisory disclaimer.

This getting announced in Summer 2020 only to get immediately pulled hurts on an immense level. I cannot imagine being Mr. Norman and finally managing to score a win only for the company you lobbied against for so long to pull the plug.

I brought this up in the WDW Tiana thread so I'll quote that post here: This was something only found out about VERY recently, as an auction site had a listing for Splash Mountain Boys back in March of this year (that's 2024 for you future readers). Additionally, an animated series called...

Song of the South's reputation could've been easily cleared up had the company released it with a content warning attached to it, but there's no way they'd do that now. Years ago back in the 2000s, Disney released a variety of titles under its Walt Disney Treasures collection. Included amongst...

The film can be viewed via Archive.org and I believe bootlegs are fairly easy to buy.

Regardless, I feel SotS should be put in a historical context for general public like they did with Gone With The Wind and the racist Looney Tunes shorts from the 1940s.

Isn't that all Disney merchandise though? Like I'm sure my beloved Br'er dolls were manufactured in a sweatshop. Produced with only the best and most organic blood, sweat, and tears from underpaid labor workers!
