- Just like Walt said: Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. And nothing could be farther from the truth, but sometimes people forget this and get mad when new changes to the park are announced like the new Splash Mountain retheme.
Today we’ll be taking a look at 7 of the most controversial Disneyland changes!
This video contains a lot of never before seen Disneyland footage shared to us by Van Eaton galleries! Visit the Van Eaton Galleries website for more info on their upcoming Disneyland auction!

Who's going with me when the princess and the frog ride is finished
🙋♂️🙋♀️
ME 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️🙋🏼♂️
I wanna join!
ME. Let's do it!!
I will never understand why Atlantis didn’t do well. I honestly love that movie! ❤️
I love Atlantis too, so does my brother
It is one of a few films I have on DVD. It's a classic!
was the same ole same ole Disney style yet was well after toy story. the public wanted more "pixar" style not the old style at the time. just like "The Black Hole" many well known actors voiced the film yet that still did not draw people in. Michel J. Fox was still on top at the time, James Garner, even Leonard Nimoy could not draw in the attendence.
I love that movie too. It’s actually well known as a cult classic, so maybe sometime it’ll get recognition in a Disney park.
The one Disney movie that I would accept a live action remake of. It looks like it was just made to be seen in a real life setting
Imagine being a hyped up kid at Disneyland and your parents want to stop at the bank
“Alright sweetie! We will go on that Teacup ride in a minute! But, first....... *mommy and daddy need to go to the bank.”*
@@sillyspine They needed money to buy food and souvenirs and of course tickets for the ticket booklets for the rides. 😉
Another controver change was Tower of Terror being changed to Guardians of the Galaxy. People freaked out about that one
I'm still upset because I never got to ride it in its original form. Yeah, I know, the WDW one is still there, but the one at DCA was under construction while I was there. To a ten-year-old who loved spooky things (whose love of the spooky has grown even into adulthood), this massive, singed structure looked like Candyland. I loved watching the old Twilight Zone and still do. But I was never able to return to the park, and now it's the Guardians of the Galaxy. Sure, the ride mechanics haven't changed, but the theme was the big draw for me.
I do, however, count myself lucky in that I was able to see Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion before their most major changes, as the addition of film characters in the former and the change to Constance in the latter happened in '06 and I was at the park in October of '03. I missed the Tower of Terror opening by seven months..
@@elainesage6346 Tower of Terror was amazing in it's original form! It truly felt like you were in a abandoned haunted hotel. Like the Haunted Mansion, the cast members were very in character and the eerie music that played in the lobby.. i loved it! I like Guardians but Tower will always be my favorite out of the 2 versions!
Not as bad as Splash Mountain! This is just gonna be bad like really bad. She should get her own ride not a cheap re skin of perfectly fine ride. If there was a time too give the chick her own ride it would have 11 years ago. This ride is always packed. It’s just political climate. They bending that knee.
@@xMuffinox I'm still heartbroken by Splash being gone! I love the Brer's and I can't imagine Disneyland without them and their amazing songs!
Hey we got a Go Fund Me and a Petition going 80,000 almost 81K strong and we’re fighting this thing we’ve got t shirts ready for protests and everything inside the park and at their offices. We won’t give till they break. This is war and Disney don’t know what kind of shit storm they’ve stirred up with the TRUE FANS.
Tbh I kinda hoped the Princess and the frog ride would have been based on the movie. Like I thought Id see the Riverboat with Tiana and Naveen dancing on it like in the movie.
Yeah. That would have been fun. But only so much of the movie actually takes place in the bayou so there isn't a lot of the movie they could adapt. Plus, it would also mean creating animatronics of Naveen and Tiana's frog forms as well as their human ones. If we're keeping it all to scale, they likely wouldn't be able to get too much movement out of models that size.
Rose Strife14 totally thought the same for many reasons! Dr. Facilier is an awesome character and he might not appear in the new version 😭 Also Ray 😭 but I think this will be better because we’ll get to see Tiana and Naveen in human form not frogs 😁
Fastpass Facts maybe Epcot might have a tiana and dr facilier meet and greet. ProvostParkPass son loves tiana.
@@fastpassfacts I hope they keep the riverboat thats been my favorite part since I was a kid!!
Rose Strife14 They could recycle the showboat at the end of Splash Mountain for a happy ending scene like that. I’m more disappointed that Dr. a Facilier won’t be making an appearance - he would be a chilling replacement for the vultures & Br’er Rabbit pleading for his life right before the Big Drop.
As Walt Disney said Disneyland isn’t a museum and it never will be
At the same time, he was nostalgic for old americana... hmmmm, quite the juxtaposing positions eh?
@@mst311 Some people conveniently forget that.
@@mst311 doesnt mean he liked all of it
@@Canrugger not what I was getting at...
It would honestly be impressive if they created a Vintage Disney World that acted as an interactive museum for some of their retired concepts/rides. It probably wouldn’t be possible due to the startup/upkeep costs for such an idea, but it would be a better use for the attractions than having them sitting around, collecting dust or falling apart in a junkyard.
I literally would DIE for Constance - I wish they did her anamatronic better because her story is 100% and you can even make a case for Hatbox ghost as a possible ex. Whats not to love???
I really miss the brides. I wish we could see them in the attic.
You can go to japan. They still have the old version
Let’s put every one of them in the basement 😂
Rose Strife14, they probably scrapped a few, threw some in the attraction graveyard (Leota’s cart ended up there, so it’s possible), and repurposed the frames already.
@@the4tierbridge yo thats disrespectful shoulda put all of them in the archives
I remember the beating heart bride with the indistinguishable face and the glowing eyes. She was the creepiest ghost on the ride to me. Legitimately terrifying looking. I thought it was a great splash of darkness before the goofy graveyard scene.
“When Disney announced this, people went mad! They didn’t want this attraction to change, even though they were not visiting it as much as they should.” You can just add this quote to any article, video, podcast, or social media post about any change Disney has ever announced about anything.
Lmao yea, and the people not visiting as much is just BS. The parks have always remained highly popular.
Th.El.Co._1 - The PARKS may always be popular, but when it’s a busy summer day, and you can walk on an attraction and have it only be about a quarter full (Ellen’s Energy Adventure, June 2016), then clearly the “fans” of this attraction have stopped going.
@@JustinTheClaw Yea but people haven't stopped going to things like Tower of Terror, California Screamin', Haunted Mansion or Pirates just from a few changes. Obviously that ride is an exception because it's just straight up boring.
Agree
Yeah. But also, the show was in a dead end area of the park. Also problematic
the people when cbj is open: *nah*
the people when cbj is closing: *HOW DARE YOU REPLACE OUR BEARS WITH POOH*
I actually never experienced CBJ looking at the shows online it looked boring as hell no wonder it was always so empty lol
cbj looks horrifying
I actually like Country Bears, but anyone who immediately jumps on a Winnie the Pooh hating bandwagon kinda scared me.
I was about to comment about how I was surprised that he didn't mention Bugs Land or Tower of Terror, and then I realized that they're both in California Adventure lol
Tower of Terror is in WDW, Hollywood Studios, and am nostalgic for the Twilight Zone theme
not sure if they're implementing another theme change to make Tower of Terror match the new theme the one in California has...
@@driftingdruid Hope not. FL already has a Guardians-themed attraction elsewhere, so replicating Mission Breakout is pointless, never mind that the Hightower Hotel (Tower of Terror) is purposely painted its rustic peachy waste color scheme so that it blends into EPCOT's nearby Monnaco pavillion, since you can actually see the top of its spires covertly hidden among the matching Monnaco landscape.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh sorry i had to correct the few mistakes you made. The fictional hotel is actually called the Hollywood Tower Hotel. It is however called the Hightower Hotel in Tokyo, which has its own original storyline. Also it blends in with the Morocco, not the Monaco pavillion. There is no Monaco pavillion.
@@adriangroenewald3825 The ironically funny thing is, Tokyo's Haunted Mansion has the pre-2006 "Beating Heart" Bride (who is NOT Constance Hatchaway-Hightower, no matter what marketing or merchandising try to tell you), yet the American Mansions have Connie's 5th & final husband be George, who is said to be George Hightower, brother of Harrison Hightower, who owns the Tower of Terror as far as the overseas parks (Disneyland Paris's Walt Disney Studios Park, Tokyo Disneyland, Shanghai Disneyland & Hong Kong Disneyland) are concerned.
I worked at Disneyland for 3 years (2006-2009) across from the old Country Bears attraction and I would get yelled at more than once a day by guests upset that the attraction was closed. As though I was responsible for it closing! When I informed them that it closed over 5 years ago and gave them the exact date of closing they were much less upset. Be nice to cast-members people!
Ok but also where is Journey into your Imagination with Figment
Yeah! It ruined the original
We all live in a yellow submarine. Nemo gets it
Correction: There are more than two songs from Song of the South featured in Splash Mountain. The three songs you hear in the ride are: How Do You Do?, Everybody Has a Laughin' Place, and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. In the queue and Critter Country's music loop, you hear instrumentals of many other songs from the film such as: Song of the South, Uncle Remus Said, Let the Rain Pour Down, and Sooner or Later. Also, while I can see that you're being quite optimistic about the new ride, I think you should reserve judgment on whether it is good until AFTER the retheme happens. Let's not forget some of the terrible rethemes that Disney has done such as Stitch's Great Escape and Under New Management.
Already heard word that the Splash Mountain in Disneyland will be rushed to get re-themed under a low budget, it's going to suck. Also Disney can just change the songs it isn't that hard. You can help save Splash Mountain by signing the petition on change.org.
ROCKET - I think the retheme’s already started. Sadly I doubt it’s gonna be reversed. But now it sucks even more to learn that it’s gonna be rushed AND have a low budget. Splash Mountain was always my favorite ride ever due to its unique and fun characters as well as it’s simple yet enjoyable story. Hearing that all of that is being replaced is one thing, hearing that they’re barely trying makes it even more disheartening.
Detective Akechi #PancakeLover there is no where the re-theme has already started, Disney hasn’t announced or anything. I don’t know where this guy got his information, he can be wrong about things. If Disneyland ‘s Splash Mountain is rushed then at least it will look a lot like the original
@@1ROCKET- They've purportedly had the idea in the spanner for over a year, so...
TherealRNO yeah I know about that
I feel like having a princess and the frog them ride feels like they only now remember it especially since the movie came out in 2009 I also wish they made a restaurant theme to the princess and the frog instead of a ride
Makes sense, Tiana did really wanted to be a chief in her own reastraunt.
bbs ! That and it was her dream to have a restaurant
When I was in Disney World February 2020, I asked Tiana if they were going to give her a restaurant any and she said she’s heard y’all that they would give her one in the parks. Idk if she’s going off of hopeful rumors or if she actually knows of Disney’s future plans since she works there. One can hope
She does have a restaurant, it’s just unfortunately not in the parks. It’s a very small space on one of the cruise ships. I say they need to add it to the parks with the ride.
CosplayCore true
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: That Davy Jones thing is *not* a waterfall
It is made of smoke, not water
Don’t make my mistake
Yup, its mist
Dead House Mouse That effect was always weird. It looked like I should feel water but instead there’s nothing. It would always confuse my body when I’d try touch it and make my hands feel really dry.
@@detectiveakechipancakelove4839 its like a very light mist, or smoke
I went to Disney world when I was 6 and that smoke water fall is the only thing I remember from the whole trip
What do you mean, "your mistake"? Did you try to shower in it?
To be honest the massive Brer Bear that’s tied up I can only imagine something that large will be converted into Louis tied up in a Mardi Gras banner or something on that line. It’s so big and imo an iconic aspect of the ride that I hope it’s refurbished into him!
I think they're going to be using his butt and the scene when he's got the beehive on his nose for Louis scenes
that would be so cool
They're not planning on reusing it. The proposal port forth last year is to remove the animatronics and make it screen based to save costs.
@@richardjones2054 Yeah I disagree. Disney’s incorporating many screens to make the background more immersive and interactive. However many of the animatronics in the ride will be re-skinned to another ride, or dismantled for parts. Audio animatronics are a massive Disney staple and will continue to stay in the ride. Brer Bear’s parts and mechanics are so large that using an equally clumsy and large character like Louis makes sense, while keeping Walt’s saying that “if you take out the old, leave part of it behind”. If it were made to be all screen, the ride wouldn’t be successful. There was already an uproar about splash mountain, taking out any and all animatronics would just be hellfire. Ride remodeling is expensive as it is. Disney can afford reskinning an animatronic or two.
@@SkeleJade It's entirely possible they could change it. Right now the only information we have was from the initial proposal from last year. Nothing has been worked on since then. The whole thing is on indefinite hold due to budget. We just have to wait and see.
WE WANTS THE RED-HEAD! WE WANTS THE RED-HEAD!!!
We still wants the red head

@@seinorlemon dad did that was a joke.
yawn
AVAST THERE! *Gunshot*
I actually got super upset over the loss of Splash Mountain, it was a huge part of my childhood
Same 😔
It’s sad that the animatronics in there were recycled already from America Sings, so they might not be used ever again. It will be missed, but I’m just thankful I won’t have to forego the great drop at the end
I’m pleased that Princess and the Frog is finally getting some love but at the same time, I grew up with Splash Mountain, too. I never liked the drop at the end (and I’m glad to finally see someone else who feels like I did) but I am a little saddened by it leaving for different reasons than most would expect. Like someone else here said, we likely won’t see the America Sings characters ever again and that in itself is sad because those are a great piece of Distory (Disney History). However, I am more saddened by how many people are just outright assuming that Song of the South was meant to be racist. I know quite a few people that saw that film as children and came away from it thinking that African American people were awesome and lovable as a whole and that’s a good thing. Because everyone needs and deserves love and respect. The film is about a little boy, Johnny, who has come with his mother to stay at his grandmother’s plantation. During his stay, little Johnny learns that the best and most interesting people can come in any color, shape or size and that just because you’re small doesn’t mean that you can’t still have a big voice (lesson learned from hearing the Br’er Rabbit tales). I will admit that the film does reflect some of the common images and ideas of the time in which it was made (little Johnny really didn’t need to have a “mammy” but at the same time, the one scene he has with her is very touching and shows the two like close family). But out of the three friends Johnny makes at his grandmother’s, two of them are people of color and Johnny’s moments with both of them really do promote the notion that people are people no matter what they look like or where they come from. He loves them simply because they’re his good friends and that should matter a lot more than people act like it does. Not to mention the fact that if you do your research on the Br’er Rabbit takes, you’ll find that they were all created by African American people in the South, with Br’er Rabbit, the small and meek yet quick and quick-witted, representing themselves as a whole and Br’er Fox often representing the obstacles they had to overcome. The stories where Br’er Rabbit outsmarts Br’er Fox are allegories for hope and rallying together for people of color. Now, not only does Br’er Rabbit win out in all of the stories that Disney chose to animate into the film but I believe that Uncle Remus also succeeds in both teaching kids to imagine their own creative stories but he also succeeds in showing a little boy and a whole audience that what we should aim for the most is love. His love and care for this little boy brought him to new friends and a boundless imagination for stories and definitely showed little Johnny and some kids in the audience (I’ve met a few people who were) that appearances really shouldn’t define what you think of someone.
Case in point, my own mother. She was a child when Disney last released Song of the South for a theatrical run. My grandmother really dislikes African American people because she was raised in a period in America where they were still forced to sit at the back of the bus in the smoking areas. So she raised my mom telling her all these bad things about people of color. She took my mom to go see Song of the South when she was very small and my mom has always told me that that day changed her mind forever against the stories her mom was telling her. She saw the very lovable Uncle Remus through Johnny’s eyes and since then, my mom has tried her best to be anti-racist.
Now, a lot of people argue that the film is racist because of several things (“mammy” imagery, the tar baby which was left in to stay true to the original tales and the fact that “white” people made the film and used “ideals” against the Post-Reconstruction background) and several I have met have told me “well, the movie doesn’t show Johnny as an adult after his parents have raised him to be racist”. But honestly, unless there’s a sequel to a film, whatever happens after the story is told is kind of not relevant to the story that was MEANT to be told. If it was, we would either have a longer film or a sequel. But the meaning of Song of the South is the peaceful relationship between Johnny and Uncle Remus. People need to just love and trust each other like they do.
I’ll agree that the “mammy” imagery in the film isn’t good but I like the scene where Johnny and Tilly (its been a few years since I’ve watched so I may get some names wrong since I’m pretty bad at names) are talking about the frogs is endearing just a little bit. But attacking the tar baby scene and saying that the film is racist for being idealized seem a little forced to me. For one thing, like I already said, the tar baby was left in more than likely so as not to derail or in any way mess with the original tale. For another, the idealism could be seen as racist but I think that it could also be understood under the same definition that “ideal” has in the dictionary. An “ideal” is often something we should aim for. Like being that trusting and loving toward someone else regardless of physical appearances and their associated assumptions is an ideal but it’s one that people should aim for. It’s a positive ideal.
@@CosplayCore I applaud you
@@CosplayCorePrincess and The Frog was a financial flop for Disney, which confused me why suddenly they tried to resurrect it
okay, im ready to see a big squishy Louis animatronic with his big ol' nose and lively eyes
Omg yes! I love Louis!
Yep! And an animatronic Tiana and Naveen! And Mama Odie. I do hope we see Dr. Facilier as a voodoo ghost and Ray and Evangeline as stars.
astro HELL YEAH!
Give it to me!
omg yesssss
the original Splash Mountain will always be in my heart, but the re theme looks so beautiful, and it fits so perfect with the type of ride. Cant wait to see it in action
The retheme concept art just looks like Chickapin Hill painted blue and grey with a boat stuck on top of it. Not my idea of beautiful.
The retheme does not look beautiful, it looks cheap and pointless.
wow there are a lot of haters on here. they havent seen nor been on the ride so i dont get the hate. im also excited and although i grew up with splash mountain and have easily been on it 500 times change is inevitable so ppl better get on board with it. well, if they dont it wont matter cause they have no choice
I hate the look of the retheme, anyway, the princess and the frog is one of the worst Disney movies
2:33 Good use of the Donald Duck clip🦆
I'm shocked that the like-dislike ratio is as high as it is. People defend their Disney attractions to the bitter end.
Maybe because they didn’t put their own personal biases and only told the facts
Also, why defend Disney profiting off of racial tensions...which is what the re-theming literally intends to do.
Yeah, because people don’t want Splash Mountain to go
Well yeah, Disneyland has been around for years and has a ton of fans and park goers of all ages. It's natural some people feel upset about old rides changing.
People will defend shitty, racist, problematic rides/movies/music/toys etc. because "It'S mY cHiLdHoOD!"
They believe that by recognising that something is a problem, that means THEY, by extension, are a problem, too. Which isn't far off considering how much people are defending a blatantly racist ride.
You forgot Journey into the Imagination. That should be number one or at least top five. That is one of the most terrible mess ups that ever happened at Disney. They took an excellent steampunk original ride with incredible animatronics and turned it into a fart joke. The work also took so long that the original animatronics were damaged completely and can no longer be re-created people have been asking for a restoration of the ride ever since but it’s just not possible because of the poor management of the entire projects.
That ride is at Epcot in WDW. This is a list of Disneyland attractions
omg, yes, this one has been overlooked SO much, and I still miss its original version with the Dreamfinder !
Yeah
Cuz this list was more “Controversial changes thatI personally liked.” for most of them
@@KiraHunter12 should make list of don’t like.
YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE TOWER OF TERROR!! I think that change was much like Star Wars land, because people were outraged when Disney announced it, but once it opened, people really liked it!
Bc that's DCA.
Tower of Terror is Disney's California Adventure, not Disneyland
I’m still outraged :)
I really want to love Red's redesign. I just wish the Animatronic blended in better in the scene and had better lines. Like if they made her a little more rugged and had something else be juxtaposed to instead of chickens. Perhaps I'll warm up to it.
Me too. At first I was mad but honestly, it's not bad, and now she's an actual pirate and really cool. I just wish they made her a REDHEAD! She just looks brunette now lol!
i like to think she was a pirate's bride, but killed her 'husband' and took over the ship and has her own mostly female crew of former pirate brides
Disney loves using the Flying score from the non-Disney live action Peter Pan movie for their own promotions 😂 and I’m happy they do cause it’s so whimsical and nostalgic
I’m surprised there’s no mention of peoplemover becoming rocket rods
I love for the nemo commercial sounds like music from Peter Pan movie when they are flying through london.
If you excuse me, I’m gonna cry about Splash Mountain going away probably before I’ll ever get to ride it.
The bride was an okay change, but would be better if she was a 100. And Galaxy's Edge is honestly really good.
But the Pirates changes have been too much. From a loose Jack story to the Red changes. It's a bit too much.
I'm honestly looking forward to the new change to Splash Mountain. It's for a good cause, and really looks good. And now, the outdated critter country can rejoin New Orleans Square.
I agree. Say what you will about the bride replacement, but at least it’s a change to one room in the attraction. The rest of the ride is still the same and doesn’t take away from the ride experience. But Pirates of the Caribbean on the other hand...
I disagree on the 3rd part the only reason why it’s changing is because everyone is a snow ❄️
John Serrano I agree, when I heard the news I cried, I told my friends who haven’t been to Disneyland in a while that the ride was changing and they didn’t understand why I was crying over a piece of my childhood basically being ripped away from me and basically being whipped out of history. I honestly wanted my new baby cousin to see it, I don’t care if it’s based off of a movie that wasn’t received well at all but the ride didn’t send that message. In all honesty I’d rather have a ride based on Tangled or Hercules
KilerQueen. Okay but if you at least wanna try to save it you can sign a petition for it.
John Serrano petitions aren’t gonna do anything about it, there were protests to keep Mr.Toad’s wild ride in Disney world and petitions were signed but it still got replaced. Changes are already in motion and we can’t stop it, also wtf does gender have to do with any of this? Was it some lame way of trying to move your statement and try to be funny?
its funny how a lot were forgotten about pretty damn fast...its almost like people need to wait to see the change before complaining
Wait, so if the ride for The Princess and The Frog takes place after the movie, what would Dr. Facilier look like back from the dead? The reason I brought that up was because it sounds fitting for him and his friends as setting up the big drop. Cause you know...
(As the song plays) “Are you ready?” SPLASH!!!!!
I was very lucky to ride Splash Mountain back in 2014. I rode on it twice when I was at Disney World. I’m both sad and excited about the retheme.
I feel bad because the last time I was at Disney I was freezing and it was so cold. I walked by splash mountain there was no wait time. I was too cold though. I told Brier Rabbit we'd visit next time when it was warmer and explained to my little sister Brier rabbit would understand.
Since Covid, there probably won't be a next time. But Brier rabbit understands.
I’m also excited and nervous. I’m excited to see what the ride has to offer but I’m sad cause I haven’t ride the original splash mountain. I’ve always been to scared to. 😅
Same here. 2014 was the last time I've been to Disneyland
I fully expected to see Fantasmic! on this list. I love the show, but I'm still upset about the changes in recent years. I really miss Peter :(
I’ve felt a disturbance in the force, as if thousands of pirates fan cried out at once and then suddenly got louder
It’s what they’re known for
You mean Splash Mountain fans*
I'm so sad to see Splash Mountain go it is my favorite ride and I'm going to miss those songs so much
Gonna miss it so much
Boycott Disney! Make them keep the old ride and make small changes, and give Tiana her own magical ride.
Zippidy doo daw get over it
Zip a dee doo dah zippidee day zipp a dee dooh accept that the ride is getting changed
I am torn on the Splash Mountain one. I am an old Dog so I do remember watching Song of the South. and the most up-beat song for kids was Zippity doo dah it was put on every Disney Song album they released and was at least one of the first 3 songs listed on them. I will say the movie did show for the first time a sort of point of view that was not avilable at the time. but still a movie for kids so it was not dark for the day. but did not over simplify what was what. over all an older man.. an older Black man teaching life lessons to a couple of privilaged white kids. should be the take a way. that you can learn from others and understand the teachings. how life throws things at you, how you act ether positive or negative is up to you. and in the end would it not be better to be positive. that what song of the south and the stories of "uncle Remus" was getting at. back to splash mountain, the princess and the frog should have their own tie in. i say don't get rid of the toys and the song zippity doo dah.give it at least a small space some where near by.
ya its wildly racist...your take on the movie and the ride is wrong, ignorant and racist
@@Canrugger no yours is for you have never seen it. you only say that because others that have not seen it say it is. so you are the ignorant and racist one here.
@@Canrugger Wow. God forbid someone has an opinion different than your own.
I think that the re-themeing of the ride is long overdue. There are racist undertones in the original film it was based on, so even if the ride is loosely tied it doesn't look good for Disney. Princess and the Frog is a great film that, to be frank, should've gotten a ride or themed restaurant a long time ago. To be honest, I think this is one of the best changes Disney has ever made, right next to the re-themeing of California Screamin' and Tower of Terror.
@@madhatterholley one can find "racist undertones" in anything for example the fake "OK" meaning white power. even if you turn your hand upside down it still does not spell wp. its mP upside down, right side up its Wb. backwards its qm or dw still can't get WP. not even deslexia can get wp out of it. the only way, is to have a racist mind in the first place to pretend its real. now over the years i do know many movies that where overtly racist and cruel. Song of the south did not hide it, but toned it down. but it was after all it was to be a positive message not a negative one unlike so many others they are not complaing about. not saying it was right, no its not. but the story had a positive message taught by the blacks to the white kids. as a kid i knew several older blacks that where kind to all us kids and we listen to their stories. and as kids we respected any kind adult round. if we did not our parents would hear about it and give us a whooping for the disrespect shown to any adult. no matter the color of their skin. I think its the positive nature of the story that is the problem for it is not showing just the cruel and hate side all the time. for everyone in this argument forgets it was white people fighting other white people for blacks to be free.
Im kinda glad big thunder ranch is gone. I felt really bad for the animals.
Honestly I was one of those who wasn't happy with the changes to Red because of the historical accuracy but honestly if you read up on some of the female pirates of the era there were some fucking bad bitches out on the water.
Luckily, I'm going to Disney for the first time in a few weeks, so I'll be able to ride splash mountain before it changes. I really can't wait to see what they do for the princess and the Frog theme tho. The concept art is beautiful, and I can't wait to see it in a ride format
you’re so lucky! splash mountain is AMAZING and it’s probably gonna be trash after the update. smh enjoy it while it lasts.
Enjoy splash mountain before its trash. I wont get to see it for the last time smh.
Sadly I won’t be able to ride it either but get on for my sake
Disneyland in California is closed so I won't get to ride it
The retheme is a mistake
The Splash mountain change is complete crap. Disney’s pc pandering is absolutely killing them. The big thing there is that there is nothing racist or problematic in the actual ride. They are destroying a classic
It’s what parks do and nothing will stay forever. If they took away Small world, pirates of the Caribbean, or the fantasyland attractions that would be much more heartbreaking. Cause why have a ride based on a movie that we can’t even watch. That’s just weird
@@GreyM900 because the story in Splash Mountain has a good message, and a compelling narrative. the proposal for the Princess and the Frog ride skips right over the conflicts of that movie, aka Dr. Facilier. if they were replacing Splash Mountain with something that looked or sounded better, i wouldnt have quite as much of a problem with it (a Moana log ride would probably be pretty cool). the proposal described in this video is worse and the reasons for the change are frustrating as all hell
Kevin Boudreaux moana wouldn’t even work and giving her a log makes no sense and theming wouldn’t be good. Worried for WDW cause it doesn’t seem to fit either. Princess and the frog has a good message too so I don’t see the problem. Yes but that’s like...many Disney rides. They don’t follow the actual movie. Like cars. I mean many people don’t even actually know that Song of the South was a thing or the origins for beer rabbit so why does it matter? Changing a story that many people who rode the ride knew nothing about
I love your channel! Keep the hard work up!
This video is so good. I missed some of these things in Disneyland. Anyway Will did a good job narrating this video.
Does anybody else see how dodgy that submarine finding nemo advert with the kids was?
I was gonna say they could've at least made the scope face the audience....
The yellow eyed version of the Bride is a Xehanort
Dude I love You Must Remember This! It is so well done, I love seeing my favorite creators shout each other out.
I am gonna miss Splash Mountain and I've rode that ride only once after visiting Disney World 😔

Kay Kay it's in Disneyland too you know
I know! It's been my favorite ride for as long as I can remember. It's really sad that it's being re-themed
@@rideerygualtier7595 if it was small world , i would H A T E disney , especialy the paris version (because it is my favourite)
Plasmatic Pea well I’m pretty sure they know they’re just saying they went on it in Disneyworld
Here's the thing, Song of the South though controversial was not about slavery. It was about slaves being freed and owning land, but most people just believe what social media says. Splash mountain itself was fine and they should have kept the theme as sit was. But they wanted to be Politically Correct and use the first black Princess as the draw to the ride.
Honestly, I think it was Disney's way to try and make a fun movie about history, but then people started calling it racist then soon everyone did too, thus ruining the movie's reputation and making everybody hate it.
@@SkyBlue12.5.01 Good point. It is very unfortunate. The movie gave us the first male African American to win a Academy Award. That should be something Disney celebrates, not erase.
Hi I’m so sad splash mountain is changing splash mountain is my fav
Splash mountain should not be changed
Straight up facts. Princess and the Frog deserves its own original ride and not a lazy retheme
If the retheming of Splah Mountain happens, at least the one in Tokyo Disneyland will be kept the same as the classic one.
DCA Tower of Terror: Am I a joke to you?
Did you make the account name specifically for this comment? XD
No
I'm sad I'll never get to ride Splash Mountain, I'm a huge fan of animatronics, particularly the earlier ones and the thought that I'll never see them IRL makes me want to cry :(
I feel like people are overacting about the splash mountain ride, many people don't even know about the movie, and there isn't any ties to the racist stuff in the ride, they're just using the characters to make a fun story. I like the princess and the frog movie, don't get me wrong but, I just feel like it'd be shameful to get rid of such an iconic ride. Why don't they just give Tiana her own ride somewhere else, or even just give her a restaurant somewhere in the park?
This is just my opinion, please respect it..
Having the characters and songs does tie it in because they are at there core part of one of the most racist movies. And yes the ride may be fun but personally, I'd rather to have sacrificed a ride to make black disney fans more comfortable, I respect your opinion, just thought I'd give my 2 cents
Dead meme I was wondering, have you watched the movie? Because I have and I didn't see anything very racist, but I am not very educated in what is and isn't racist so I was wondering if you could tell me if you did watch it...
@@SkyBlue12.5.01 I have, the stereotypes are the racist aspects, the pretrial of black people is disrespectful
Winnie-the-Pooh is awful. Replace it with Princess and Frog, and leave Splash Mountain as it is. Problem solved. I wish Disney wouldn't give in to the haters so often.
1. I wouldn't mind The Country Bears Jamboree becoming something like Country Bears Concert, based on the movie.
2. Disney, please don't change or get rid of DinoLand U.S.A. unless you plan to expand it and add more to the dinosaur theme.
I personally hope they get rid of Dinoland. The theming is too tacky for me and it feels like you’re stepping out of Disney and into a county fair
Brownsfan32 agreed. Dino land is almost the equivalent of California Adventure in a way- taking tacky carnival/fair rides + putting it in an abandoned corner in hopes it draws guests in. I feel like animal kingdom needs something like the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland but that better fits in with the lay of the land.
@@bobbifrost2665 nothing fits better than dinosaurs.
Country Bears is getting a massive song update, but no word on what the new songs will be. It was slated for change in the next couple years, but with the park budgets reeling who knows.
Get woke go broke
Yep. I’ll be zip-ah-dee-doin my money over to Tokyo Disney from now on 💵 💵 💵
"With this fantastic change..."
Uhh, I wouldn't call Redd in the ride fantastic, it's a rather poorly-written scene. Paris did a much better job with the new Auction scene.
I feel Disney TH-camrs literally just up everything no matter if it was bad or good
I mean that's pretty much this whole video. I guess every change was just so fantastic. 🙄
If the scene was written better more people (myself included) would be more ok with the change, but the dialogue is just cringy to me. "A hen for a ten!" "Strike your feathers, dearie, show 'em your flock." Way too forced.
I love how you guys tell information, and now with rare videos. You are one of a kind. Keep the good job.
There’s one thing that sets apart all the other controversial changes from Splash Mountain - undue external pressure. Disney has had to aggressively review every aspect of its Parks and Resorts division, putting other projects on hold, but yet they still are giving precedence to a haphazard change like this. Let’s not forget how notoriously slow they are from announcement to opening of new attractions.. so much for a beloved ride being a real thorn in their side.
Daniel DiRico Full blown panic pandering
It's not that haphazard or a result of external pressure.
This was planned to happen for a long time.they just announced it easier then expected due to social iusses.
The real reason for the change is cuase most of splash montains animatronics are broken and it most likely is to costly to up keep all of them.esipceally considering the massive boat full of spare animatronics I believe from America sings
star and fox That’s a good point. Many of the animatronics used at Disneyland were recycled from America Sings, while at Disney World most of the animatronics were made for its version of the ride so they are of a little bit newer vintage. Another version of Splash Mountain exists at Tokyo Disneyland, but they’re not closing the ride. I wonder why. It’s clear that with the timing of the announcement, that this was not an entirely internal decision that was made, and why it’s understandably outraged a lot of fans of the parks.
I love splash mountain and it's my favourite ride ever made and I could understand the change due to its link to song of the south, but I guess what hurts is seeing the ride itself called problematic and racist by so many people when Imagineers went out of their way to edit out problematic elements from the ride. I feel all its problems lie purely in the source material and the ride itself is getting a lot of unnessecarey hate due to that link.
If people actually READ they would know that the black people were share holders and the man character was very loved!! It’s history. There were black shareholders . It all happened. But we shouldn’t be ashamed of them ! Did you expect them to be wearing Nikes and listening to rap? It was a different time. Are we ashamed of natives of other cultures because they are simple or different than us? That is not being tolerant HoW are cute, little animals racist!?!?! I hate these butt hurt , weak , offended by EVERY THING losers of this generation!!! Grow a pair, realize the problem is in you and stop deflecting on everything and everyone around you!!! The world shouldn’t have to change for u to be comfortable!!!! Kinda like the mask philosophy , too! The whole world will mask uo( even though the world isn’t sick!) to protect your WEAK, FEARFUL ass!!!!! Pathetic
I also think the changes for Phantom Manor were also controversial like the brides at Disneyland. The updates changed Melanie’s character from victim to black widow as well and ruined a bit of the mystery surrounding the deaths of her suitors. Both versions are good but I know a lot of people (including me) wished she wasn’t Constance 2.0
While I totally agree with your list, there are some areas of the park you may have overlooked...
Maybe consider a sequel -
+ The makeover of the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse into Tarzan's Treehouse.
+ The addition of Disney Characters into It's a Small World.
+ The extreme retheming of Fantasyland in the 1980's.
+ Nature's Wonderland into Big Thunder.
+ Tom Sawyer Island into...whatever they call it now.
+ The filling in, and addition of the Yeti to the Matterhorn.
+ Relocating the Rocket Jets to ground level and a poorly made, cheap paint job to Tomorrowland.
and in my opinion, the biggest controversy in the history of the park was what to do with Captain Eo after Michael Jackson's Sexual Allegations.
Forgot to mention, that most of the people who say that the SOTS or splash is racist, never seen the movie
The film took place after the Reconstruction Era, after the abolishing of slavery. However, slavery was still legal in the south and people didn't like how they portrayed the life of a slave. You'll have to go on Wiki to read more. The movie's called Song of the South.
Kay Kay yes I know, I’ve seen the movie twice, thing that baffles me is people call it racist, I’m sure there was an obvious reason why they didn’t glorify slavery, because it’s a kids show, the movie is more on progression of races loving each other and other morals like, “no matter how far you go, you can never run away from trouble.” Or something like that.
The new pirates scene is actually trash though. A gun wielding pirate talking about how much they love rum isn’t a much better character for kids to look up to. We also lost classic quotable Paul Frees dialogue in favor of bland, forgettable, lines.
I hope that scene gets rewritten soon. It has potential to be great, but that potential was squandered.
No it isn’t. Drinking alcohol isn’t quite as bad as auctioning women off as sex slaves. Surprising you had to be told that.
You seem like the type of person who says racism doesn’t exist in Disney movies lmaoooo
My problem is with the dialogue. I like Redd. I'm okay with the changes. But for her dialogue to just be spur-of-the-moment puns based on the original dialogue from the scene (thereby reminding anyone who remembers the old scene that it's been changed while simultaneously confusing new riders with awkward dialogue that's referencing something they've never seen) just bad taste, lack of thought. I think they should keep the changes (maybe get rid of one of the Jack Sparrows) and simply rerecord the dialogue with a cohesive original scene.
My issue is I can't see the thorns on the promotion art, which have every right to still be there as there was a thorn bush in the movie, and that they're pushing the princess angle when at the end of the move the prince chose to stay with Tiana and help her run her dream business so that doesn't make much sense, I also now have an issue with it being a post movie thing as that removes or at least extremely limits the possibility that Dr. Facilier will make an appearance, which is a terrible shame because image that "are you ready!" Bit as you climb towards the fall, that would've been amazing.
Dr. Falcifier's not gonna be in it? Awww. Why not? He's a voodoo man in voodoo hell, he's got ways of comin' back.
@@outlawscar3328 maybe that's the plot, but it's a lot of leg work just to get where the movie already was.
I'm learning alot from this channel!
I highly doubt they’ve been planning to re theme splash mountain for a year, they would have said something instantly
Why doubt that? These changes are ridiculously expensive. Like- mindbogglingly expensive. They would be sure not only to float the idea, but to get at least half-way through pre-prod to make sure the concept is worth investing in before announcing it to the public.
I’m surprised that you didn’t have Tower of Terror being retheme to Guardians on this list. That caused a huge uproar, and to this day there are people that are not happy, counting me, about that change. Personally experienced both and liked Tower so much better. The experience with Guardians seems so forced and completely bland with predictable themes. I hate, hate, HATE the new auction scene in Pirates. The red head pirate looks like Catlyin Jenner and the scene is also forced, which seems so out of place in the whole ride. That was a huge mistake. I’ll admit I’m very indifferent about Splash Mountain. I’m tore by it because one side, loves how it is and has become iconic over the years. Another part of me is also curious to see how the new change will look. I get that Song of the South has a bad racial stigma, but I personally do not see anything wrong with the ride at all. Nothing racist, or bad. When that back entrance to Galaxy’s Edge opened, I heard that people were taking notice to it and was becoming more popular. Unfortunately with all the racial tension going on, that was the nail in the coffin.
Again this is only my opinion on this video
Mission Breakout is at California Adventure NOT Disneyland prime & still operates at Hollywood Studios in Florida & at Disneyland Paris's Walt Disney Studios secondary park.
"Galaxy's edge opened and it is fantastic" Is it though?? Is it really? 🙃
yes
yes it is
No lmao I find it personally very boring tbh
Lmao, no.
Yes it is. Grow up. :3
absolutely love the “nobody liked this ride so they were gonna close it and people got MAD” like,,, YALL DIDNT LIKE COUNTRY BEAT JAMBOREE WHY ARE YOU ANGRY
You guys are keeping my insanity check during quarantine
Fingers crossed they’ll keep splash even if it’s just in Florida 😊 i honestly don’t think I’d bother visiting magic kingdom if it wasn’t there
nope, they’re doing it in both parks Land and World
@@ThrilltimeHeadache But why? The New Orleans connection doesn't carry over to Florida since New Orleans Square is replaced with American colonial Liberty Square & is where The Haunted Mansion is located, meanwhile Pirates is in adjacent Adventureland & Splash Mountain is in Frontierland, because Critter Country doesn't outright exist at Walt Disney World.
They need to keep at least one the same like they did with Tower
Kate F that’s a good idea, I’m hoping florida but at this point idc as long as they do keep only one
They might keep Splash Mountain in Tokyo Disneyland. Disney doesn’t really own those parks
While I understand why Disney disowns "Song of the South", do we need to really change the ride? If anything, most of the themes in the ride are so well hidden you barely even notice it, if at all. I grew up with the ride like many and personally I don't think it should be changed. Besides what are they gonna do with the animatronics? Some of the animatronics came from the previous attraction "America Sings" and was a great way to honor a once magical ride. As Americans it feels like we can't talk about the issues of our southern past without some controversy. The idea is to learn from it. It's why some schools still make you read "Of Mice and Men" or "Huckleberry Finn" even though those books do bring up racial slurs and racial problems.
I know some people are saying splash mountian is racist due to song of the south but there was also that one doland duck cartoon where he was hailing hitler and its not like donald duck is going anywhere anytime soon
But maybe its for the best not all of splash mountain will be destoryed and with the looting still happening in some places maybe disney accounced the chage becuase they were scared i mean thoose people are litreally destroying statues of people who helped everyone get where they are today and destroying a staute if prince becuase of what a cop did is one of the stuipest things people have ever done on earth
this is the most ignorant comment I have ever seen
Early also I watch all your vids ❤️ amazing
Disney Fanitic 💖💕🥰✨
The old bride in the haunted mansion scares me but Constance hatchway and the bride from the 90’s are my favorite
Love your videos! Great one 👍
i love that your videos pop up in my recommended now
The removal of the Red Head and re-theming of Splash Mountain are horribly reactionary and revisionist. They did nothing but expose issues few park-goers cared about and sullied the original intent of the rides.
What About Tower Of Terror Turning Into Guardian Of The Galaxy Mission Breakout
Because this is about Disneyland, not California Adventure
Very well done video! Thanks for sharing.
Wait. If Song of the South was never released after VHS, how do I have official DVDs?
Are you in the US?
I'm sorry but Constance Hatchaway looks so cheap! I mean just put the old bride back and give her an ax and maybe a haunting wedding March.
The version of Constance at WDW is way better than the one at DL
don't really need a haunted wedding march: that traditional wedding song of "dun-DUN-dudun" was an opera song that played during a scene when the bride would DIE as she was walking down the aisle!
it is perfectly thematic for the Haunted Mansion
If princess and the frog is getting their own ride at Disneyland when is Moana gonna get her own ride
Moana was a way better movie in every way too! I dont want to see splash get a retheme, but a moana retheme would be pulled off so easy there!
I don't see how a Moana theme would fit there.it doesn't really fit new Orleans square or critter country.while the princes and the frog does and can even allow for a expansion of new Orleans square.
It's more of a adventure land type ride.
She is going to get a walkthrough attraction in Epcot
(1. Frozen ever after, worst decision ever)
ZilchBubble 39o2 nahhh i love that ride
@@jonastehonica5769 you like fortnite too I'm guessing
ZilchBubble 39o2 god no
@@jonastehonica5769 At least we agree on one thing lol
I never got to see Maelstrom.
I'll take Beir Fox/bear and rabbit over some princess character ride honestly
The ride isn't even racist to begin with, just make a separate ride for her instead of tearing down yet another ride for a lackluster princess film
Yea, I like the original bride, she was more eerie and creepy, and also kind of sympathetic. The new one is kind of too in your face I feel like. They did this with Phantom Manor as well and it really bothers me.
Splash mountain actually uses three songs from song of the south-zip a Dee doo da, how do you do, and laughing place
I hate that they are changing the splash moutian ride it makes me really mad
Thier ruining the ride
Exactly!!!
They are not ruining it, it’s changing. Change is part of life
I mean Walt disney said Disney is never complete, things are always gonna change
They aren't ruining it.a lot of the animatronics on the ride are broken with at least 1 on the boat scene owes being broken.
Also splash mountain was problematic the day it was built cuase it was based on one of the only Disney films never released from vault for USA audiences due to the way it portrayed share cropers.
I think this might be a journey into your imagination scenario for splash mountain but in a much bigger scale
Still not happy about Splash Mountain changing. Sorry. But I hope they do a good job with Tiana.
it sounds like you're auditioning to be the voice over for disney channel original movie commercials
While I actually like Red Jessica (might be because we have the same first name😅) but I wish they had given her something cooler for her to do in the ride than just selling chickens and produce, like have her sword fighting or bartering treasure or loot at least
YEEESSS THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!
My biggest issue with the Splash Mountain retheme is the fact that PatF has no place in Frontierland, a land based on cowboys and the 1800s West (and South by extent), perhaps unless the new ride has a more Southern aesthetic in Magic Kingdom and takes place in a marsh or something
with the country bear jamboree, it was like:
Disney: we're closing the attraction.
Everyone: NO YOU CANT DO THAT!
Disney: will you go to it?
everyone: no.
Disney: then why can't we close it?
Everyone: .....BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT ATTRACTION!
Disney: but then will you go to it?
Everyone: like we said, NO.
Im going to miss splash mountain rip gone to soon 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
good riddance
I'm gonna miss it too. I have faith in the Imagineers though.
idk about y’all but i really really hope they put a voodoo section in the new splash mountain
4:35 just unlocked a huge childhood memory from when I was obsessed with the Peter Pan movie from 2003
