I just thought of that scene from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory where those animatronics catch on fire while they’re singing.

Six Flags had themed sections represented by one of the flags; Spanish, French, British, Confederate etc. The rides, dining and attractions were themed as well (sort of.) Even the employee uniforms were themed at first, but this required a uniform change if someone working in French needed to be sent to work in another section (Spanish or British for example.)

Eh, let's be honest though, after 30 years, it needs a rebranding, and "Princess and the Frog" needs more attention anyway. You barely hear about it and that's a travesty.

Yea same but I am sad that splash mountain is going.Maybe not the physical ride but the theme and song.I mean I haven’t been to Disney since 2018 so I Hope splash mountain doesn’t close til 2021 cause tron is coming so it will be crowded so they should keep it open 😔

@@flyaround312 The skin of a Disney ride is 99% of the ride. The rides themselves stripped down are uninteresting. It's the themes that yield the immersion factor and why Disneyland is so wildly loved. So re-skinning it is by all accounts "defuncting" it.

havent gotten to that part yet and im freaked out.

that line is even worse if viewed with slavery in mind...

That is incredibly interesting thought.

True

Indeed. i imagine things like bre'r rabbit and the rest of the tales were a kind of compilation of the various stories and folktales from africa and then rerooted in equivalent material. since sticky rubber gum trees are not actually common or native to the american south, the solution was a substance that could be sticky and familiar to the audience at the time. Tar was that solution. Joel Chandler harris probably could not forsee how his work would become controversial in the ways that he did, but i imagine that he was trying to genuinely adapt the stories that he had heard in his own way, but like plenty of storytellers that came before, he changed things to fit his style and understanding better. I am probably wrong about a few things, but i don't believe he had malice in his heart when he was adapting the tales. certainly unlike some people who have adapted storied over the years. maybe that is why the characters and the songs have been as timeless as they are. because there is a kernal of that timeless magic that is born of genuine love.

@@jonathanphillips3052 To be specific, yeah, the stories were basically the slaves' way of telling Anansi stories without getting whipped for it. The slaves who told Joel Chandler Harris the stories were also some of the only people who ever showed him kindness, as he was literally an Irish bastard, and we all know how Americans treated the Irish and illegitimate kids in the 1800s. Harris compiled the stories and made the Uncle Remus character to preserve the stories and those who told them, right down to the vernacular the slaves spoke in. And now people who have no idea what they're talking about call it racist and are celebrating the replacement of a ride based on the cartoon segments of a movie inspired by preservation of African culture with a ride based on a movie written by four white men based loosely on a European fairytale and whose black leads spend over 90% of their screentime as frogs.

@@ElFreakinCid yeah. strange how these things work. people remember it, and disney will happily reuse the songs, but they are strongly against acknowledging their own film and will try to memory hole it like that will somehow work... forgetting that thanks to the internet, people can and will make sure the film is preserved forever in memory. lets hope one day disney decides to acknowledge it and has the courage to release it. it will recieve attacks, it will recieve hate, but you should not pretend it didn't exist. hell, it could even get some fans, as people see with eyes unclouded. this was not the only adaptation of uncle remus, though compared to how disney pulled it and hid it, the animated film 'coonskin' by ralph Bakshi stood up in the face of the attacks on it, battered bruised and bloody, but still standing defiantly. and that film was way more provocative in how it handled its material.

People call it racist, but really it tells a faraway time where people really talked like that and things like that really happened. Was it racist that Disney made it or that it's historically accurate? Or do people just not like to be reminded of it?

It’s funny how Disney is worried about the controversy of that film, yet they release out on home video of the old propaganda short with Donald Duck as a Nazi. Granted I’m aware it was just a dream in the short and it’s suppose to be a anti-Nazi piece. But you’d think it be more controversial that they had a short where a famous Disney character being literally a member of one of the most infamous regimes in human history.

I feel so bad that those cartoon characters are gonna forever be tied to Song Of The South, they look like side/background animals you’d see in Looney Tunes.

I think that's a wonderful idea!!!

I think Warner Bros had a really good disclaimer for some of their cartoons explaining that they were a product of their time and some of things depicted are not okay now, but to never show them again is to act as if those ideas never existed at all. I would applaud Disney for taking that kind of approach to their materials that have not aged well, and its such an old company that at some point I feel like they have a responsibility to take that stance and admit "yeah weve been around long enough that some of our cartoons were made when less than savory ideas were more common/viewed as acceptable"

This is really fascinating! I’m not familiar with Song of the South or even Splash Mountain. (I’ve only been to Disney twice, both times were many years ago.) but I live in the south and I often see a vehicle around town with an advert “ Song of the South on DVD” driving around. I love Hattie McDowell and would love to see her in this film if for no other reason that she is an exceptional actress and I am in awe of her work.

@@Whofan06 This will never happen because it is tantamount to Disney admitting they were racist at some point in history, which they will never do. But yes, agreed, the Warner Bros. "Censored 7" approach would be both tasteful and historically valuable. It's just that Disney will never do it, because it opens a giant can of worms for them in a way that it didn't for WB.

and disney+ already has a bit of a disclaimer thing in place! when watching cinderella, a little disclaimer popped up in the upper corner warning of "depictions of tobacco use" and honestly, it would take little to no effort and money to add a 10-20 clip at the beginning of song of the south that explains that the views and depictions in the movie are very insensitive and not ok, and are a product of their time
