Glad I got to see the movie in the theater once. Also glad I have a copy of the book that the movie is based on. Surprised Disney hasn’t had any and all references to the movie scrubbed from the internet.
I’ve seen it, too. The thing is, beyond the fact that it has a couple of catchy songs (The most famous of which is based on a song from blackface minstrel shows) and that the integration of animation and live action is innovative and technically well done (although it would be done much better in later films such as Mary Poppins), it’s just plain and simple not that good of a movie. Certainly not good enough to overcome its problematic aspects. It’s OK, but nothing special.
This is so stupid. These were stories told by a Black man. So in essence you are canceling Uncle Remus, so in your attempt to fight racism Disney, you are being racist…
I’m so tired of everything has to change because of a culture being offended. We are going so far overboard to please blacks and those are the ones that want racism gone. Slavery is a part of history for better or worse. My ancestors were part of the Irish when they came over. They were not always welcomed. History is history. Learn from it. Disney changing things to please those that squad the loudest will cause me to not go there anymore. I don’t want to go where I feel unwelcome being white.
Thank you Dave!
This change isn’t progress. If that’s the way you think, why not toss out our entire history and go back to belonging to England.
And by the way, slavery didn’t start in America. Slaves were sold by their own people from Africa.
Given that we lost Aerosmith on the Rock and Roller Coaster, we should have Queen redo this ride with “another one bites the dust” to reflect all the woke changes at Disney.
What has this all come down to. Disney used to be the theme park that we loved. Instead it is now an embarrassment to the world. Lose woke, so making changes to everything and go back to being a family resort. Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave
What are they thinking, do they really think that everyone is going to accept this, because I don’t. I love the song of the south it brings back great memories as as kid going to Disneyland.
Can’t wait for Disney to go bankrupt went there before they went woke loved it then not now none of the people I know said they would never be back go woke go broke
By changing the theme of Splash Mountain Disney is once again ruining something magical and letting the troublemakers win. First it was the Submarines and now this. I am over Disney everything. All they care about is the mighty dollar anymore. Forget the rich tradition and history of family fun. I am so disappointed in what Disneyland Park is becoming.
The Disney glass ceiling of history has been cracked and the creeping change(s) for this ride and all others will continue. Only way to stop it his is not go to the parks and unsubscribe from Disney+. This unfortunately will not happen especially in America. So buckle up folks (and keep your hands and arms inside the ride). Soon they will ban “hand raising” on rides because it will be reminding others of WW2 gestures. Watch!!

You do realize that there is no possible way they could do that even if they wanted to?

Look up the term “Magical Negro.” Not all representation is good representation.

This is 1 of the songs that INSTANTLY put Disney in your head. So to remove it would do what?

2030 Breaking news: Disney parks now refer to guests as they/them/it and changes all merchandise to rainbow themed material to avoid controversy.

Ridiculous! Tired of cancel-culture, political correctness and this cry-baby society that’s come about…
