Splash has been common knowledge that the theme has been kinda taboo
There is nothing "taboo" about a singing rabbit and a fox and a bear that want to eat him.
So black culture is the one thing in this world that can’t be exploited for financial gain?
They literally never insinuated that in that post. Wut?
Exactly. Not very hard to guess at all.
I found SotS to be a one-and-done, but it should be available to officially purchase/stream. Disney was dumb to lock it away.
True. Again it's the SotS link.
but there is not much of a link. the ride stands on its own very apart from the film.
Paved a way for what, exactly?
So SotS isn't the issue? It's the Uncle Remus stories period?
I remember finding a grainy bootleg VHS copy with Japanese subtitles in the 90s at some store in Georgia. It was like finding the Holy Grail! Now you can get a pretty damn good DVD copy on Amazon for $20.
SotS can also be considered appropriation, given the film is based on Joel Chandler’s Uncle Remus stories, which are appropriated.
Marty McFossil here with an Eyewitness view from the past (‘cause I was there). Even back in the what’s-a-home-computer days when a fan’s only source of DL Info were Disneynews Magazine and Press releases... When word surfaced that Disney was planning a water ride based on “Song of the South” called “Zip-a-Dee River Run,” even us bigtime Disney fans were wondering why-oh-why Disney would build ANYTHING based on Song of the South, which was a controversial film even then. When I told the rest of my Disney-appreciative family the news, reactions were the same: A perplexed “Why? Why Song of the South?”

I think we’re back to the same thing as before. What would a Br’er Rabbit attraction look like if it wasn’t based on the Joel Chandler stories. How would it be any different?
