Iconic Disney Ride Set to Close in Less Than 2 Months Due to Being 'Not Appropriate in Today's World'


Even Disney theme parks aren’t immune from the onslaught of wokism.

In January, Disney is finally closing its iconic Splash Mountain attraction at Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida (“The Magic Kingdom”), with the company’s bosses citing historical concerns in canning one of the parks’ most popular attractions.

The reason? Splash Mountain’s current theme draws inspiration from the 1946 Disney film “Song of the South,” which depicts life on a plantation after slavery’s abolition, according to Fox Business.

Disney’s returning CEO has previously singled out “Song of the South” as cause for concern.

It’s utter BS. The ride is great and the movie is not racist.

The problem is that it shows black people in post civil war era times AS THEY WERE - not as the narrative wants and, like Clarence Thomas and other conservative blacks this must be buried.
 
“With this longstanding history of updating attractions and adding new magic, the re-theming of Splash Mountain is of particular importance today,” Disney had said in a previous statement. “The new concept is inclusive — one that all of our guests can connect with and be inspired by, and it speaks to the diversity of the millions of people who visit our parks each year.”
 
They’ll have to shut down anything related to Snow White. The Seven Dwarfs are an insult to short people,
 
Uncle Remus was a positive character, who told stories to the children, and the children loved his stories. Uncle Remus was not any sort of stereotypical negative character.

Similar to the way the left had to get rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben because they reflected a positive image of black people from a bygone era.



So what were they replaced with? Entertainers like Lizzo and Snoop Dogg etc, who give an updated version of blacks as vulgar, profane, and crude women are ho's and kill cops - twerking and reducing themselves to the lowest common denominator of lewdness. That's progress, leftist style.
 
Ex staff reveal how Wat Disney refused to have any black people working in his offices. Disney is portrayed as wholesome family entertainment but Walt Disney was racist, sexist and employed Mafia heavies to bust uniions .


The need to drop the Walt Disney name!
 
Disney is in trouble. I think Strange Worlds will lose 100-200 million and even black panther 2 will lose 50-100m and no one is riding their new star wars cruise.

And there are many reports that the parks are dirty, and we know they are now very expensive as Disney has tried to grab every dollar.

This is a breaking of trust.
 
Song of the South, which inspired Splash Mountain, was released in 1946. It is about a little boy visiting his grandmother’s plantation and learning life lessons from the allegories of the wise Uncle Remus (James Baskett). One of Song of the South‘s biggest errors is that it fails to explicitly define its timeline. While Disney has claimed that it takes place in the Reconstruction Era, after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, the film makes no mention of this.

So, you might ask, what’s the big deal with not knowing the timeline? Well, when the film has overtly happy notes and features a popular song, “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” that gushes about sunshine and wonderful days, you do kind of want to accentuate the timeline. Otherwise, it gives the impression of depicting slavery as a utopia where Black slaves and white plantation owners lived in “harmony” – which meant the Black slaves happily accepted their servitude to white people. The overly happy tones just didn’t sit right with either the Civil War or Reconstruction era and seemed to suggest that African Americans should’ve been complacent and happy in their status in society. Also, Disney knows that the film is racist – why else would they have opted to never release the film on home video in the United States?

The film also perpetuates several harmful Black stereotypes, including Uncle Remus as an Uncle Tom figure. Uncle Tom is a trope in which usually middle-aged to elderly Black men are content in their role as a slave or servant to their white bosses and happily dispense wisdom and advice. These caricatures, when set in the Reconstruction or post-Civil War era, as Song of the South is, are especially harmful because they depict the character as a loyal employee (or slave) who longs for a return to the “simplicity” of a romanticized Southern past. The stereotype becomes complicit in slavery and was used to justify the disenfranchisement of the draconian and racist Jim Crow legislation that was enacted at the time.
 
They are just cancelling/erasing black culture.

"Uncle Remus is the fictional title character and narrator of a collection of African American folktales compiled and adapted by Joel Chandler Harris and published in book form in 1881. Harris was a journalist in post-Reconstruction era Atlanta, and he produced seven Uncle Remus books. He wrote these stories in order to represent the struggles of African Americans in the Southern United States, and more specifically, he wrote them in order to represent the struggles of African Americans on the plantations. He did so by introducing tales that he had heard and framing them in the plantation context. He wrote his stories in a dialect which was his interpretation of the Deep South African-American language of the time. For these framing and stylistic choices, Harris's collection has garnered controversy since its publication."

The WOKE are out to rub out all history and tradition as radical revolutions tend to do.
 
Song of the South is an old offensive film with racist undertones that became more evident in modern society. Meanwhile, Splash Mountain is a theme park ride that tried to carry on the legacy of the film in a different medium, making it racist as well.

The characters used are not known to the current youngsters, it makes sense.
