How so? If anything, I would think that young children are oblivious to the fact that slavery ever existed in the US means that we've been heading in the right direction for long enough that new generations aren't aware of it at all until they're taught about it, rather than seeing it and recognizing it because that's what they see every day.
In reality you're talking about cultural differences between Japan and the USA. James Baskett wasn't prohibited from the premier of the movie in which he stared in Japan nor did the movie feature freed Japanese slaves. No need for Bobby to change the attraction in Japan. And that gives all of the fans who love the current version an excuse to visit Tokyo Disneyland! Problem solved.
Actually, YouTube has it censored in the US. We can only view a few short scenes unless we go on a deep web dive and want to risk a virus or malware.
I...wha...alright.
It’s on archive.org. No Malware risk (to my knowledge).
I’d like to see it in the best quality possible. I also think the messages in the Brer Rabbit tales are pretty good. Growing up as the “Little Guy”, I was always picked on by the bigger, brawnier kids. Similarly, Brer Rabbit finds himself in bad situations with the bigger animals, but he uses his wit to get out of it every time. A morale of brain over brawn. I wish I had access to these stories as a kid. But even knowing them now, the character means a lot to me personally cause I can relate to him.
I could get onboard with a reframing of the animated sequences.
I see you chose the still frame of the "Magical Negro" walking with the children into the sunset. I hope you understand that you're making my point here.
That’s fair. I wish they did too. They are by far the best parts of the film, although I greatly admire Baskett and every scene that he’s in.

That's the beauty of art - there can be more than one interpretation of it. My personal interpretation is that friendship crosses all boundaries - including age and race.I see you chose the still frame of the "Magical Negro" walking with the children into the sunset.

He's a former slave still living on the plantation. Also, did you read the part about discrimination?
That’s your assumption. Not mine.
There is no assumption at all. The fictional character of Uncle Remus is described as a freedman. That means he is an emancipated slave. He is still living on the plantation.That’s your assumption. Not mine.
I think the real problem here are those darn Tony Baxter rides. So many of them have to be redone.
