which was temporarily yanked from the streaming service following criticism of the film's depiction of racism, slavery and black people in the antebellum South.are being viewed through a different lens.

I would just like to say that we can NOT erase EVERYTHING about our nation's history! Especially movies and art. We can preface these movies before they play a lesson, but I for one want my children and future generations to be able to recognize the differences. PT 1

Not what came to my mind when I rode it.

Literally no one is asking Disney this. Some intern brought this up in a pitch meeting after her weekend trip to Disneyworld.

Which fans ? The 3 that work for cnn?

Close it down and replace it with a new ride using contemporary stereotypes 😂

People are such babies, and media takes advantage of that. Peace is bad for media business, so they stir things up.

So now it's half-cancellations Got it

Plagiarism and Ella Enchanted original work Southwark Playhouse..

This is just going too far!

Stupid reason

Fraud at Freuds and Disney

Plagiarised and stolen material at Disney 2001 onwards includes the Princess Diaries, Frozen, Ella Enchanted, the ‘new’ Cinderella, Mary Poppins - stage musical, A Christmas Carol - various crime reference numbers issued in connection with the fraud

What a bunch of crap! What showing a lovely black man singing a happy song. You people are crazy!😡

Jesus F-ing Christ! I’m black and I don’t even care. Nobody even knows what the song means or whatever!! Just stop!

Intolerant race baters. Everyone knows the only way to capture a white supremacist is to build a tar baby!

Song of the South Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth

While we on topic over the top racism. Please explain the song it’s A White Christmas is Racism. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🌨🌨🌨🌨☃️⛄️☃️⛄️☃️

cancel everything that has any implication of southern culture!!!!

Uncle Remus is a grotesque, vulgar caricature. He was happy when he was a slave & even happier to be mistreated & oppressed by his former owner. It’s a repulsive distortion of slavery & the suffering of Black people. The damage is done; f*ck the name of a Disney ride.

Dang. Is it still OK to wear a white shirt?

As our views will be inevitably different, progressive, than our ancestors, does that mean we need to erase our history?

This once again is another narrative to keep the country divided! It's just like metoo movement !! 😝

Who keeps thinking up this shit lol🛑

I loved Song of the South. It was a bunch of Aesops fables converted to tales of animals Brer Bear Brer Rabbit Brer Fox. These were lessons for life. I don’t remember any negative morals. I even visited the house of the author in Georgia. Chandler Harris.

Speaking of racist!!

How is this racist? Erasing these things would be like telling our children things like, 'slavery never happened' or 'black people never suffered'. We, as Americans need to maintain our history and our education and pray these horrors never happen again. BLM

Given that Disney seems to want the film forgotten, having made it unavailable for decades, the existence of the ride is a surprise. Splash Mountain is a continuous reminder that Disney made the movie.

It is a historical based movie.

Do Pocahantis. Disneyland logs turned to canoes, widen seating to increase thruput. Ride thru arrogant J.Smith settler landing. Color of the Winds love song. A battle scene with arrows & musket balls of air blasting by like Ind. Jones. Into darkness & burst out to waterfall sun.

STOP IT!!! I love 'Song of the South.' You don't have persmission or support from citizens to change anything anymore--not statues; not names; not the Constitution; not our gender--nothing! Long criticized by who? Liberal stupid DEMOCRATS, that's who. 'Off with their heads.'

EL CREADOR DE LAS RAZAS HUMANAS NO DESCRIMINA A NADIE... MAS LA SENDA DE LOS RACISTAS PERECERA

More simple minded, obtuse and dense 'thinking' from the left.

Sounds like they’re saying “pretty good show us your bone.”

Get rid of country bear jamboree too We can’t make fun of people that are from the south

Why not cancel the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and take down all Jolly Roger flags - pirates were ruthless and lawless murderers and rapists. Why not just cancel Disney World all together, it was founded by a privileged rich white man. There are no limits to cancel culture.

After reviewing the George Floyd murder video again, the reality is a 1st degree murder was perpetrated. The two men it is reported knew each other. Minnesota apparently will not dispense justice that complies with the BIll OF Rights.POUTS should mandate a 1st degree murder trial

JFC

FANS are not the ones asking... LOUD RADICALS who know how to WORK the media want Disney to cowtow to their loudness

But it doesn't even feature the stereotype

Respondiendo a muchos que están inconformes con la línea de noticias de está incitando a la violencia entre razas, que en realidad es cada día más ridiculo, porque todos los que leemos vemos a las personas no su color de piel, porque seguir a en twitter?

Ok, so wil you ban all rapper sons

Black folks don’t care about this shit!!!!

I remember last summer when I was at Disneyland and saw splash mountain and I thought how racist is that

OMG. James Baskett’s portrayal of Uncle Remus won him an Oscar. I believe he was the first black actor to receive that honor. So, let’s hide that fact. Either quit this nonsense or let’s just take people’s names and movie portrayals off everything.

Jesus Christ nothing is off limits

I’m bored.

No problem, Princess Tiana would make a great addition, and we just need a laughing Voodoo doc toward the end.

It's got to go. Are they going to band all movies about the Civil War

NO. NEXT.

I always had a bad feeling about that ride. I knew there was something evil about it.

animated films are likely to expose their audience to language ideologies such as one nation only one ANIMATED FILMS AND LINGUISTIC STEREOTYPES language, and when building characters,they use preconceived ideas associated with the language spoken by ethnic and regional groups.

Shut up.

No, you fuck live that there. That is Walt Disney Legacy.

like 98% of people riding splash mountain don't even know it's related to song of the south good lord

When I was a kid, I had a record of Disney's Song of south ^-^. 1964 - 56 years ago. Is it that old? The film I mean? o_O

Zip pa dee do dah, zip pa dee day, my o’ my what an incredibly stupid day

Funny how no one is going after blazing saddles. I mean fuuuuck it’s funny. But it’s because of the racial stereotypes. “Excuse me while I whip this out” fucking legendary. leavitalone

You have to be fucking kidding.

I want to know why they are so ok with keeping the movie roots around but a Disney movie is somehow dangerous.

LeaveSplashMountainAlone

Who’s the asshole that’s petitioning for the ride to be removed that’s 1 of my favorite rides

Why not share the recent poll of 100 annual pass holders that had 98 in favor of keeping splash mountain as is and 2 for changing it? If you were to poll people that possess proof of a Disney trip, the results would be overwhelmingly to keep it as is. keepsplashthesame

DisneyParks Disneyland DisneylandAP DisneylandToday

Hey, What is happening in Seattle? And why aren’t you covering it?

Fuck this shit.

Well, Disney still advertises on FOXLA and TuckerCarlson so, that sort of makes sense... slpng_giants dumpfox songofthesouth

Disney BLOWS. WORST neighbors EVER.

And as an old saying points, the stupid one sees only stupidity...

Song of the South is racist ? Damn. My house is white, guess I'll have to go with a nice bright green, blue, red or purple. Or black.

For crying out loud

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day. History has stopped'. 1984 - George Orwell

Hateful people see racism everywhere. pathetic

Idiots!

The ride does not have nothing to do with Uncle Remus, or slavery or anything really with the movie. It focus is the cartoon stories instead...So I guess that means zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah is out too...Ridiculous!! Many kids don’t even know Song of the South, they only know the ride

I like this ride. It’s so relaxing.

I guess the real derivation of things is OK as long as we don't mention it? THAT should make black people REAL proud. If we scrap movie info, I don't have to feel guilty about riding it, right? I don't have to defend it, or skip it, or do anything. For me, it all stays the same!

devonrichardso4 blanca_figs I swear cancel culture is cancerous

Yup, you bend the knee and the social justice warriors keep asking for more. Can’t believe how dumb you have to be to go along with this nonsense.

Someone nuke the world and let’s see if we can start over

This! And people say there *are* no solutions.

goingtofar we can’t erase the past no matter how hard we try!!

OMG people have totally lost it

Cancel culture continues

Do this DisneyParks

They'll make an exception because blacks like the ride. SMH.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....DO NOT ALLOW THE LEFT ANYWHERE NEAR POWER!!!!!

Let’s discard history that causes black butthurt.

Like I said.. Stupid!!

Ok Karen 🙄

Governor Ralph Nothram

This should have happened years ago. It’s really Disney’s only remnant of that film.

What's wrong with Disney?

Disney Pedophiles. PizzaGateIsReal

I vote for FINALLEVEL “fuck the police” track. Thoughts ?

I know Splash Mountain shows scenes from 'Brer Rabbit', but I thought it took out all references to Slaves & Negative images a long time ago. While they are at it, how about getting rid of Pocahontas?

This is so pathetic.

One Stereotype that is certainly true, CNN is FakeNews

Isn't God in details! See it here 👇

Lol. Ok as per Disney and espn. They now show their colors. Close the whole damn park !

This is getting way out of hand now 😂😂

I believe that this will evolve into a complete fringe authoritarian movement that will without question be able to take down whatever they please while hiding under the guise of 'anti racism' because if you oppose you get shut down
