    If the new rendition has amazing animatronics , backgrounds and a sound tract that fluently follows a great story line I will then believe that Disney had plans to change the ride before all the controversy. If the ride is done on the cheap then I believe Disney changed the ride just to appease and to appear politically correct.

    I’ m glad someone knows the true history of these folk history .The slaves told these stories that were handed down by their ancestors and adapted to reflect their new environment of the south . Uncle Remus was a folk hero .

    Not interested in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. This is a clumsy attempt by Disney to try to increase sales for a movie that was not that popular. The theming is all wrong for Frontierland in Disney World, plus the movie takes place in the 1920s in Louisiana (not exactly PC). What a waste of money on Disney’s part. If they want to promote Princess Frog, they should just add a new attraction for the IP and not replace one of the greatest attractions Disney has ever done.

  5. The ride is not based on Song of the South. It is based on A Laughing Place” which is a traditional African folk tale. The characters are traditional African folk characters. There is nothing racist about the characters or ride. People are Sheep. LOOK IT UP. They are literally tearing down a ride based on African lore.

    Here’s the thing. Song of the South came out in 1946. It’s been banned for decades. I’d wager that 90% of the people riding Splash Mountain have no flippin’ idea what Song of the South even is. The characters are cute, the music is fun (who doesn’t like Zippity Doo Dah?). There’s no need to complain that a theme park ride isn’t politically correct. If Splash is getting a little worn at the edges, fix it up, but there’s no need to erase it completely.
