Demands to rebrand the classic ride have been gaining traction as its storyline is tied to the disavowed 1946 film 'Song of the South.'
Disney has found itself in the middle of the debate due to Splash Mountain, the ride featured at a number of its theme parks, including Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The ride features characters from the 1946 film Song of the South, a movie so overtly out-of-touch and racist, Disney chairman and former CEO Bob Iger made it a point to note the film would never be available for purchase or made to stream on Disney+

This was always an uneasy alliance. The movie can't ever be released again, but the ride is ok?

No doubt Disney comes out with a new movie with a black princess and/or hero in the next 90 days. It will be their new signature attraction at their parks as well within the next year.

I remember going to the movies in Gadsden, AL when I was a kid to see this when I was like 6 or 7. I loved it. What was racist about it?

Black hero’s and white villains have been the norm for a while now in Hollywood.

They need to go after Disney for their old cartoons, Magic Kingdom Americana, and Brer Rabbit & Tar Baby.
Take Disney down now for their past and put the story on ABC news.

Why should we honor Disney by leaving his name on these places since he was the creator of such offensive cartoons?

Brer Rabbit
Had an association w/ Laura Plantation in Vacherie
The Brer Rabbit and Br'er Fox tales recounted in Louisiana and the South are variations on traditional stories that originated in Senegal and were brought by enslaved Senegalese to America around the 1720s as part of their culture. According to the plantation's history, Alcée Fortier, a neighbor of the family and student of folklore, visited there in the 1870s to listen to the freedmen. He collected the stories, which freedmen told their children in the Louisiana Creole language that had developed since colonial times. It was a creole language based in French and absorbing African languages. These stories were about Compair Lapin and Compair Bouki (the clever rabbit and stupid fool), in which the rabbit plays a traditional trickster role. Twenty-five years later in 1894, Fortier published stories which he had collected and translated in the edition Louisiana Folk Tales: In French Dialect and English Translation. Fortier may have collected some of the tales at Laura Plantation and his own family's plantation.[11]
