Already a “thing”

Protesters want Splash Mountain changed

FYI, it's readily available on the Internet Archive. I'll agree, the movie isn't good but the animated sections are pretty charming. I’d add that James Baskett gives an incredible performance and deserved the honorary Oscar he received for it.

So sick of this crap. It will never be enough and Disney needs to stop pandering

I'm trying not to be political but this ridiculous when have the American people developed such thin skin that every little thing has to be changed in order to not offend their mis guided BS ---suck it up and deal with it. When I came back from Nam I was spit on and called a baby killer, should I claim I was traumatized by this-- no I sucked it up and lived my life.

This nonsense has popped up several times over the years.

It doesn't bother me either way; I can see both perspectives. If they want to change it, go ahead. The ride has been open over 30 years (almost 30 years in WDW). As long as it's well done, I have no problem with whatever they choose.
