I am astonished that Blood on the Saddle would stay, but very pleasantly surprised. Doesn't make any of the rest of this okay, but at least this isn't a total loss. I'm still holding out hope for when the show will be changed next. Hopefully this version doesn't last too long.
Davy Crockett is technically a Disney IP so maybe! If we get to keep Blood on the Saddle then we won as far as I’m concerned! Haha
My prediction was Great Outdoors and Come Again. Happy to hear that Blood on the Saddle might have made the cut. A little shocked about Crockett, but it is a Disney IP song so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.
I'd be shocked if they kept Davy Crockett, far moreso than Blood in the Saddle. That one is just sort of generically violent, there's nothing culturally insensitive about it at all. Ever heard past the first verse of Davy Crockett though? Look it up if you haven't, I'm not posting it (both because i'm liable to be moderated AND I don't want to call attention in case someone at Disney is listening in and doesn't know). It's very difficult to fathom that Disney would let that song slide, even if they don't include any of the verses the no-no lyrics...
I don’t think it’s More Timeless
More Relevant More Family or More Disney enough.
Davy Crockett was already only just the first main verse and chorus, nothing else (unless the original longer show had more and I'm not remembering). And while that particular excerpt contains nothing that could be deemed problematic in and of itself, the rest of the song is a prime target. That association would probably ensure it's removed. I'll be floored if they keep any trace of it.
It’s no worse than lyrics in the songs in Peter Pan - as long as they keep that on Disney+ I don’t see how the first verse of Davy Crockett is a big issue since that verse has nothing to be concerned about.
By finale song, are we talking just Come Again as the exit music or are we talking the entire finale where all of the bears come out and sing ‘Ole Slew Foot’
The Red Man song only contains stereotypes. Davy Crockett has lyrics about going to war with and killing natives. I'd say that makes it a way bigger target.
But that also represents a $57 billion cost savings in design fees.
Exactly why I'm not 100% convinced. I can believe Come Again is sticking around though.
