fuck them and anyone running Disney should tell them to go fuck themselves if they wanna cry over the company torching all that shit. Iger should burn the negatives at the front gates and do a little dance on the ashes (streamed live on Disney Plus obvs)

I simply enjoyed a ride that told the story of a cartoon rabbit outsmarting a cartoon fox and cartoon bear. - Fuzzy Jan 25, 09:23 1
- yes, Disney sanitized the characters for the theme parks. -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 09:27
I have no problem with them torching it, but Splash Mountain really was a delightful little ride that had no Uncle Remus - Dark Callisto Jan 25, 08:57
Having not seen it since I was a kid I'm sure I don't remember the bad parts. However I also disagree with completely making it go away. - sycor Jan 25, 08:43 3
- I agree with this. I saw it as an adult but I think people need to see what opinions and actions used to be "normaL' so we can change the future... - Walt_Disney Jan 25, 09:06 2
  - i don't think our problem in teaching people not to be racist is a lack of past examples (it's shitheels like DeSantis and Youngkin expunging it from - hollywood big shot Jan 25, 09:17 1
    - Yep. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 25, 09:20

I remember Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, but couldn't tell you if I actually saw the movie or not. Still, let it burn like you said. -- nm - Inigo Jan 25, 08:13 8
- Same, not 100% sure I ever saw it, but there were songs from it on Disney compilation albums I had as a kid. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 08:30 7
  - I definitely saw it because I remember the briar patch stuff and the tar baby bit - Reagen Jan 25, 08:34 5
    - I know I had some briar rabbit books -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 08:49
    - Disney put it in theaters in 1986, so most of us here probably at least saw advertising for it. -- nm - TWuG Jan 25, 08:38 3
      - I feel like it was on the Sunday movie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 08:40 2
        
        Yeah, they at least showed parts and pieces of it during the Sunday night show. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 25, 09:12
        
        I am sure it was on the CBC version of Disney until the early 80's -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 25, 09:07
  - yup. I figure it must of been on CBC's Sunday night Walt Disney show at some point like 40 years ago or so -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 08:33
