Leftists hate the movie it is based on, calling it "racist", even though it starred a black man as the lead role in the live-action segments (which was almost unheard of at the time), and takes place in the 1870's, AFTER the civil war and AFTER slavery.
i get that you can't conceptualize the emotions of other human beings, but stop voicing your borderline racist opinions on matters beyond your understanding, ok?

Surprised Disney is planning any changes to the parks at the moment considering Corona is absolutely tanking the theme park division right now.

I could be wrong but considering its Disney I think theyre gonna be packed to capacity as soon as they open back up

and since theyre gonna have to limit the number of people in the park its probably gonna make people want to go even more if they hear some people cant get in

The shareholders aren't going to want Disney to spend any money on things that aren't operating at peak money-making efficiency.

And canceled.


That says nothing about them canceling the new ride.

Making it a Princess and the Frog themed ride makes a lot of sense, after all how many kids have ever seen Song of the South or know anything about the characters?

Just like they turned the Swiss Family Treehouse into Tarzan's Treehouse. How many kids have seen the Swiss Family Robinson vs how many have seen Tarzan?

Both are valid spellings, actually. Because English.

Pretty much. Heck, I didn't even realize Splash Mountain was theme around Song of the South until it came up in this context. It was pretty much a movie-independent entity in my mind. If the aim of Disney's theme parks is to provide rides and attractions that reference and are based on Disney movies people like, it just makes sense to update Splash Mountain to be based on a movie current audiences have actually seen. Princess and the Frog is a very sensible theme for the ride, and will probably actually provide a more enjoyable experience for most current Disney fans and park-goers.

It really isn't. The vast majority of Disney's rides aren't based on Disney movies, including a lot of their best ones (e.g. Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion).

That said, I have no qualms with changing Splash Mountain.

Don't they own them, though?

The PotC and Haunted Mansion movies were created after the rides were, to my knowledge. In those cases, the theme park-movie connection went the other way.
