News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Dear Prudence]

I don't think any of us expected it to still be the only one released 17 months later, excluding the less concrete impressionist piece.

There's also the one golden age of Deviant Art piece. That makes 3. (All kidding aside, the swamp on at least looks nice)

Forgot about that one, my bad.

I can offer a personal experience that directly contradicts your claim. When I was a child, long before I had any notion of what inclusivity was, I was beyond excited when Aladdin came out. The fact that the story and its characters represented the Middle East (however fantastically) meant a great deal to me as a kid of Middle Eastern heritage. And even now, despite all my awareness of the more problematic aspects of the film, I feel a special attachment to it.

If inclusivity doesn't matter to you, it may well be because the community to which you belong isn't lacking in representation.

So do you require representation in order to enjoy something?

To be fair, they aren't burning that one into our retinas constantly like the other one, so :/

But they included you know what in Peter Pan because of course they did.

Also, why did they keep the old Splash design?! (Unless they don't know what it will for sure look like...)

They also changed the word "rum" to "gold" in Pirates when Redd is yelling "it's the *gold* they want!".

It's still in concept phase and I doubt they'd let a Minecraft team have first dibs on it.

Wow. That's actually preferable to the current POTC ride dialog.They should change it to that. Have Redd hold a chest of gold.

Not at all, but feeling represented and included can raise my overall enjoyment levels.

 

[LittleBuford]

I think what incomudro inclusivity can just be not something someone needs over good characters and writing.

I don't think anyone here is suggesting that inclusivity should take the place of good characters and writing. They are not mutually exclusive goals in any way.

But they left in grotesque Native caricatures. Because of course they did. Because of course those are appropriate. :/ sigh.

Anyway, Disneyland's Splash has Xmas decorations, did they bother with WDW? Anybody know?

Did WDW's Splash ever have Xmas decorations?

 

[GoneForGood]

Did WDW's Splash ever have Xmas decorations?

It did not. But Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear appeared in the old WDW Christmas Party Parade with spoken lines (The Pre-2007) one.
Edit: Added video

I know they did Halloween decorations, so I just assumed they'd do something for Xmas.

Disneyland yes, even recently.

WDW, nope.

My, my, my, Redd. What a nice chest you have thar.

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

My, my, my, Redd. What a nice chest you have thar.

Yep. So admittedly that very thought did cross my mind but I posted anyway to see if someone would respond with a similar line. Works for me. Sexist maybe but they be pirates. Any line is better than the insufferable and irresponsible advert for Rum, the way the scene currently plays. Gold is the ultimate pirate treasure. Can't have the redhead... I'll take the gold!

I don’t understand this point.

Todays version of inclusivity would be akin to taking your middle eastern characters in Aladdin and making one of the lead roles white.

Don’t forget to also include background characters sexual proclivity for no apparent reason, but make sure it’s done in a way where it can be edited out for your Communist overlords in China.

 

[GladToBeHear]

Not at all...

Good. Nor should you. You ARE included. You're part of the human community -- with the rest of us.

You go right ahead and enjoy Aladdin all you want.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I'm not.

 

[LittleBuford]

You ARE included. You're part of the human community -- with the rest of us.

Yes, I realise that. That doesn't stop me from deriving a special sort of enjoyment from stories, films, and characters that resonate with me on a more personal level. I doubt I'm alone or unusual in feeling this way.
