When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Speculation based on how much Judy and Nick resemble Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Fox; coupled with Disney's desire to distance themselves from Song of the South.

Splash is in my top two attractions with HM. That's one of the "Don't Touch" rides for me.

I think if Disney were trying to distance itself from "Song of the South" they never would have built it that way to begin with. For one thing no one knows that it is connected with the SotS unless someone tells them. It it based on the Uncle Remus stories, not the movie. The movie has been locked up so long now that hardly anyone has any knowledge of it, and it isn't really a concern with the exception of a small number of people that are overflowing with righteous indignation. P.S. I know that's not you Jennifer, but, it brought out the minor rant in me.
It upsets me because those stories are part of literary history in this country. Just because there are some parts that people find offensive is no reason for censoring any form of literature. That would be more harmful then the literature itself.

I am horrible at calling out plot lines before they happen...just horrible...so no movie is predictable to me.
Ha ha ha . . . I'm that way, too! I can't tell you how many movies I've watched with hubby, and I've had to ask him to "explain" the plot to me!

There are those that would take Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer off library shelves.

I ordered it about 10 years ago too...I'm still waiting for it to arrive.
Should I give up?
I picked one up about 3 years ago, wanted to see where the songs from the ride came from. I do seem to remember some parts of the movie being on the Wonderful World of Disney a long time ago..

Splash isn't in my top list (I hate getting wet), but I would still be mortified if they were to re-theme it.
There are few attractions in MK that need to be rethemed. Updated, yes, but not rethemed.

With the various discussions over the past few years (throughout the forums) about that movie, I have never actually seen it. Somehow, it seems like everyone else has seen it, except me.
Has it ever been shown on tv, such as on old movie channels like AMC or TCM?

I think you need to call the customer service number on the box. Not necessarily to complain, just to provide information. I remember in college I called Dannon yogurt because when I peeled off the foil on top the glue seemed a bit weak and it kind of fell off - so I figured I'd let them know. The woman on the phone was shocked I wasn't "complaining" just "informing". She must have gotten yelled at a lot by those litigious types.

@JenniferS , just a few towns away from me, we have a store (actually, they're in 3 towns now) that makes the best chicken pot pie. This local store, Harrows, has been making them for many, many years and it's their main product.
And here is a picture of a despondent man staring through the door at Harrows after they closed for the day; and he could not get his chicken pot pie. Tragic, really.
