Song of the south was NOT racist. It is criticized for portraying happy slaves but the movie takes place during Reconstruction so there are no slaves. Disney rethemed the ride because it needed to have a woke princess. And apparently they didn’t even do a good job of it.
These themes will never work and are unrelated. Here’s a better idea: Put the original SM back where it belongs. That is the only way to fix the errors.
So elements of SotS were problematic… ( Even though someone riding the ride with no context didn’t know what property it was even from… But I digress…) So we replaced it with a property that happens to have problematic elements (voodoo) but left those out creating a ride that lacks conflict/tension in a ride system/layout that demands some tension/suspense with the major drop. Also it’s based on a property where the main character is turned into a frog and becomes a princess by the end. But we don’t get into any of that in this ride.
There better properties they could have used, or better stories they could have told with this property…
TLDR… The ride was perceived as problematic so we replaced it with a lesser attraction from a different property that was also problematic.
Comments for Mickey Mouse Poised To Replace Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Theme
Jamie
An AI clearly wrote this lol
Steamboat Willie
There was no proof that Tiana would be replaced, it was just some suggestions on what could’ve been lmao…

I suggest they replace with a ride based on an old movie, like “Song of the South”. They could make the big drop down into, perhaps, a briar patch.

Agreed.
Spank You Very Much
The only way to fix these issues is to change it to Spank Mountain, aka Tiana’s Bare Bottom Adventure.
If others can dream pointless dreams, so can I.
