I think if one were to write out the story of Splash Mountain (like in a narrative format) using the only what was in the ride itself, it might be different than what some here think it was (as influenced by the film, books, and even discussion here).
Aye. Like the trap scene. Brer Fox originally set it to capture Rabbit, who was stealing his peanuts.
Rabbit gets snagged and is hanging there when Brer Bear comes along, and asks Rabbit what he’s doing.
Brer Rabbit gets an idea….he lies by telling Bear that Fox is paying him a dollar a minute to act as a scarecrow in the peanut patch. Brer Bear wants in on the job as well, so he offers to take Rabbit’s place.
….and once Brer Bear releases Brer Rabbit, and is snug in the snare himself, Rabbit goes running to Brer Fox, who believes it was Bear who was the peanut thief.
Fox then proceeds to grab his walking stick and beat on Bear while Rabbit is laughing his a** off and encouraging him to hit Bear even harder.

Splash cuts out all of this for pacing. Now it’s just Fox and Bear wanting to catch and eat Rabbit, but they keep getting outsmarted and falling for their own traps.
It’s essentially Looney Tunes with Fox and Bear replacing Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd. Except the Brers existed in a world with actual physics and logic.
