'Song of the South': Why the Controversial Disney Movie Is Not on Disney+.One of the stories told by Remus, meanwhile, has the moral that it is better to stay in the situation you are in than to run away and try and find freedom. Others, m eanwhile, have criticized the movie for its use of stereotypical black dialects, its use of the "magical negro" trope, and an animated sequence that sees Br'er Fox create a "tar baby" to capture Br'er Rabbit. Though the movie is actually set after the Civil War, meaning that the main character Uncle Remus (played by James Baskett) is not technically a slave, many have found themselves troubled by the power dynamics between Remus and the rich, white plantation owners. The best next step to remove all traces of this racist movie would be to re-theme Splash Mountain into a Princess and the Frog themed ride." ĭisneyland ride Splash Mountain (pictured being ridden by Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and family) is being criticized for its relation to the movie 'Song of the South' GettyĪmong the criticisms levied at Song of the South, which has not been released by Disney on any platform since the late 1980s, is that all of its black characters are shown as perfectly content working in plantations for white employers. Disney has removed Song of the South from its library, refusing to share it on DVD or their streaming services. The petition concludes: "While the rides storyline is not an exact version of the movies plot line it is derivative from it, the characters, the songs and locations are all main features of the ride.

The classic log flume ride Splash Mountain is featured in Disneyland, Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland. The petition reads: "Disney parks should be a home for all to enjoy regardless of race, age, whatever your background may be. This petition points out the ride is based around the 1946 movie Song of the South - a movie that Disney considered too racist to put on its streaming service Disney+.
