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.

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.

Why Disney's most racist film remains a cultural flash point

No film, however, has been as emblematic of the company’s racist tropes as the 1946 release Song of the South, the live-action/animation hybrid about a young white boy (Bobby Driscoll’s Johnny) who befriends an older Black man (James Baskett’s Uncle Remus) who works on his grandmother’s plantation during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War.

Song of the South has long been condemned for its shameful stereotypical depictions of African-Americans and cheery look at post-slavery Black plantation life. Bob Iger, Disney’s executive chairman, has buried the film in the vaults, steadfastly refusing to release it. In fact, the film has never been issued on any home formats in the United States, from VHS to LaserDisc to DVD to Blu-ray to digital, and Song of the South has no presence on Disney’s hugely successful streaming service.

We are minting radicals, which is bad for everyone.
 
Joel Chandler Harris grew up poor in Eatonton, Georgia where he heard the stories from the black folks and a real life Uncle Remus figure. He just wrote down the stories he actually heard being told by blacks, stories based on authentic African "trickster" tales. We can be thankful Harris did so, otherwise the stories would have been lost.


What Iger is doing is condescending and racist. Iger is assuming that black people can't understand or handle their own history.

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."

Sounds about right. You have a guy living within his means without government assistance and through his own efforts discovers a fuel source that will benefit millions. It does sound very white to me.

Your title AND post are misleading.
They are not closing the ride for good.
They are just closing it to re-brand it.
Big, frigging deal.

Looks like a sound, market decision to me.


Clearly, you are just pissed because you are a racist loser.
And you long for the time when visible minorities in America were openly treated as semi-excrement.
And anything that promotes that era - you love.
 
Amazing straw men from the flyover country rubes who forget that the blue states who are better educated and produce more in science /technology and finance to name just 3 , The blue lib states that support hee haw land via taxes.

“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.”
