Splash Mountain to be redone with ‘Princess and the Frog’ theme after racial backlash
several petitions to have the Anaheim, California, and Orlando, Florida, parks update the ride have garnered thousands of signatures in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.“Song of the South” is a 1946 film from the Mickey Mouse studio and is largely considered to be the company’s most-racist work because of its stereotypical depiction of black people.“Splash Mountain — at both Disneyland park in California and Magic Kingdom park in Florida — will soon be completely reimagined,” Disney announced Thursday in a blog post.A timeline for the update has yet to be announced.“Princess and the Frog” is a 2009 animated flick that focuses on Tiana, a waitress who hopes to open her own restaurant in 1926 New Orleans.
