New York(CNN Business) Splash Mountain — one of Disney's most popular but problematic rides — will be "completely reimagined," the company announced on Thursday.

The log flume ride — which is based on the controversial 1946 film "Song of the South" — isn't going anywhere. Instead, it will be rethemed to star the characters from the 2009 animated film, "The Princess and the Frog," which features Disney's first Black princess.

Why won't they rename the entire brand since the name is associated with racist cartoons? I guess that would require consistency.

KILL WHITEY.”


I mean doesn’t anyone ever get tired of the blatant pandering?

Over 80% of the people that ride splash mountain would have no clue about this if no one would tell them.

I loved the over the top ridiculous southern stereotypes in that movie. Legitimately might be a top 3 all time favorite Disney movie for me. I'll watch it anytime it's on. The absolute Hypocritical irony that movie is wrapped in makes it perfect satire.

Can't wait to see Ole Mama JuJu and the Shadow Man

Damn, right in the nostalgia.

There’s nothing racist about the ride the way it is, and the vast majority of people would have to google it to find out where the theme came from.

Even song of the south isn’t racist. Unless any preindustrial representation of the south is “racist”.

Uncle Remus was a classic collection of stories.
The man won an award for his portrayal. He was the damn hero.

look it up and find it online and watch it for yourself. Hell the antagonists are a couple of white Trash kids.

Not a slur in the whole damn thing.


Here. Watch it for yourself and stop letting the media tell you what to think

Meh, Disney “reimagines” rides all the time.

Save the outrage for the next one.

Maybe instead of logs, they can turn them into inverted penises and call it Transgender Non-Binary Gash Mountain.

It was/is extremely dated, but they could have done much better than relying on the one new cartoon.

If by worst you mean the most popular theme park in the entire world you would be correct.

I wake up every morning so far this year asking myself: "Can this year get any dumber"? And then go on here or Twitter or Yahoo, and then question is almost immediately answered: Yes it does get dumber. I guarantee that by the end of the year once these idiot woke people hear about Operation Paperclip they're going to compare Space Camp to the Hitler Youth.
