With news that Splash Mountain will be rethemed based off of Princess and the Frog, Clayton and I wanted to go over the history of Splash Mountain from inception to its final closure to celebrate its 30+ year run as a crowd favorite. We wanted to start this history by appropriately covering the history of Song of the South, to get a better understanding of what is driving the retheming. Song of the South, which the ride is loosely based on, was released 75 years ago was widely celebrated for its blending of live action and color animation but also widely criticized for its depiction of African Americans. We discuss the background of the movie, Walt Disney’s love for it, the criticism it received and it’s difficult legacy.
