By suppressing this movie, not only are they suppressing black history (which is American history), they are suppressing Hattie's legacy and contributions to this world. How is it not more racist to censor some of the first black actors allowed in Hollywood??

As a disney cast member and someone who has always adored Princess and the Frog -- I'm thoroughly pissed. Splash Mountain has always been one of my favorite rides, and Tiana is one of my favorite Princesses. This is literally just tokenizing her. This ride has never been problematic before, and suddenly during the 2020 riots, Disney comes forward with this announcement. This is not saying "wow, Tiana is such a hardworking and inspiring princess, we want to honor her and her message!" No, it says "look at her, she's black. Aren't we so great? Don't you love us for this change? We are heros." Tiana deserves better. Not to mention, erasing Uncle Remus and his incredible stories is a form of erasing African stories. (And James Baskett got an honorary Oscar for his performance which is historic!!!) So Disney: screw you. We see through you.

Very well said, completely agree.

I saw this film in the UK as a young white boy, it was probably my first introduction to a person of colour on screen. My reaction was that for years I dreamt of having a friend like uncle Ramus. In short it was the greatest influence on my childhood to be completely accepting of other humans who might look different. The whole film was a wonderful representation of love and innocence. I'm so sick of this race baiting. :( 😞

Honestly I think the more they try to supress something the more people will want to see it; and whether you like it or not, Song of the South is a piece of cinematic history that people should be able to see and form their own opinions on.

As a Disney Parks fan, I have to say your take here is pretty on point for someone who has just researched the topic. Even though you’re reading the false leftist narratives surrounding Splash Mountain and Song of the South for the first time, you do an excellent job of calling them out. Honestly, Disney is about to make one of the biggest mistakes in their history by closing Splash Mountain. Not just because it’s an excellent attraction, but because they’re doing so in the name of false ideologically driven narratives that seek to tarnish the legacies of actual African American folklore, trailblazing black actors and even Walt Disney himself. Unfortunately, the ideologues have tightened their grip on Disney with Bob Iger’s return and there is no Elon in sight willing to save this once great company from what it’s become. Hopefully, we never loose sight of what was and are able to keep the memories alive in light of this utter destruction.

This is based on a real book chronicling real Black-American folklore, and its part of an oral storytelling tradition in Southern Black folk culture.

It was controversial at the time, you just weren’t aware of it because of your age. The movie was based on a collection of slave stories and there were plenty of people who didn’t like how the movie framed it as a series of lessons for a wealthy white kid. Also the black kid in it is just a minstrel stereotype, much number than the white kids to the point where he is constantly falling on his face when he tries to run as a gag. There’s a reason Disney hasn’t released it sense.

It sounds to me despite what was happening in the country, the uncle and kid were kind to each other. And despite what he went through the uncle found moments of light in his life. Sounds like an inspiring film, especially since clearly it broke racial barriers as a film, song, and Oscar's

Now I could say that if you want to go there, then every one of those movies needs to be explicit that the Democrat party was the party of slavery and racism. But fact is no, not all movies have to be about it. Thats like saying every movie about Africa needs to remind us how racist Africans are and that they still have slavery. But nobody at all would suggest that. Or every movie about the Asians has to say the same thing because yes, they are even more racist than we were back then, and they still have slavery. Again, nobody would say that. There are bad things about human history by todays standards, and there are good things. You dont have to mention the bad things every time you mention good things.

This is a huge problem that even happened with "Encanto" and now "Wednesday" on Netflix: their theories are canon, no questions asked. With SOTS, it was that Remus was definitely talking about slavery. In "Encanto", it's that Luisa is trans and Delores is autistic. In "Wednesday", it's that Wednesday is autistic and she's being idolized as a demonized autistic person. None of these are ever canon in the films. They are never even *explicitly* implied. These are all fan THEORIES that are pushed forward as fact, and God forbid you disagree with them. I'm not gonna feel guilty for not agreeing with a theory.

Sweeeeeet a new episode of “What’s Racist Today?” My favorite!

Honestly, I know next to nothing about the Disney parks and I thought they already did this years ago. I heard talk of it. Was never allowed to watch Princess in the Frog because of "Voodoo", but I watched Song of the South a bunch of times. Nothing wrong with it. It always seemed sweet. Uncle Remus seemed like a cool grandpa/dad type who told stories. I'd have to rewatch it of course, I'm sure there were some things that didn't age very well, but that's the truth with most older movies.

As a young kid I used to absolutely love this ride. I brought my splash mountain Disney pins to show and tell in 1st grade. I was devastated when I found out they were taking it away.

Song of the South was the first movie I ever saw in the theatre. I think they did a rerelease in the mid 80s, because that's when I saw it when I was either 4 or 5.

I’ve only been to Disney World once and that was in December of 2013 and like you said in 1:56; it was one of my favorite rides that I ride on most of the time I was there.

This actually makes me so mad this is my childhood being taken away I'm so sad that kids will not know the joy of riding splash mountain

My father read me the Uncle Remus Stories throughout my whole childhood (I'm 27). I never had a single racist thought pass through my mind through these stories, nor did my father ever express any racism through his reading of these beautiful stories to me as a child. I, and my father, only ever thought of Uncle Remus as a loving, creative, and truly loving man through these stories, and I still see them that way. I love you, Uncle Remus and Br'er Rabbit! Thank you for contributing to a truly wonderful childhood full of wonder!

I have a few not so popular opinions. As a die-hard fan of The Princess and the Frog, I am happy it's getting more recognition through the new theming. On the other hand, I do understand the backlash behind changing the theme when it's one of the few things we have of Song of the South. I know there's a lot of unfortunate implications in that film, but I also believe that denying what happened in history only does more harm than good.

It breaks my heart seeing this ride being rethemed. As much as I love Princess and the Frog, this ride held a special place in my heart that reminded me of better times.

I am Brazilian and i watched 2 times in TV during the early 2000s the controversial Disney Movie Song Of the South and i Thought it was very similar with the books of Brazilian author Monteiro Lobato.

I will never go to Disney again.

Why is this news to you now? Disney announced well over two years ago that they were going to be retheming this to the Princess and the Frog… When the ride is about to close to be rethemed, two years after they announced all this NOW you’ve noticed?!?

This makes me sad because Splash mountain was a family favorite when my family went. It holds a special memory in my heart.

How can people ever learn from the past if we try to eliminate it

They don't care at ALL. If it's WHITE, it HAS TO GO! They're trying to tear down statues of our founding fathers. If anyone doesn't see they're trying to take away everything America has created, they're a fool. They WILL NEVER stop and the people who pander to them will be the first ones they eliminate if they had their way.

Brett, you continue to hit the nail on the head! Really love your comments vlog. Keep up the great work! Love your show.

Song of the South is not available anywhere because it is racist BUT The Birth Of A Nation (the silent film from 1915, not the 2016 one) is available for free here on youtube.... make that make sense, and it's not even age restricted

I have never been on splash mountain before and it was always a dream to go, now it can't happen because of people with big egos.

Disney is digging its own grave… and I can’t wait to watch.

I absolutely love the way you introduce all of your sponsors in a way that relates back to what you're talking about. On most channels I skip through the ads but you're so slick with yours I watch them all lol

The only good thing about re-theming the ride instead of making Tiana a new one is the old rides never break down! However the new animatronics they’ll add will probably negate this advantage… so, keep Splash and give Tiana something new! (However, the current Splash animatronics at Disneyland CA need an overhaul anyway) Also, Disneyland’s, CA, Splash is also slated for closure on a undisclosed date.

Song of the South was always my dad’s favorite Disney movie growing up (he was born 1960), and he made sure we all watched it as kids. I think I was like 8 or something when he bought me a pirated dvd copy for my birthday 😂 I’ve always loved the film because it was a special bond I had with my dad.

I remember a while ago when this was announced (some of my family and friends work with Disney for travel) and before we even knew how it was being re-themed, it was known that it was being done because Splash Mountain was centered around a "racist story." A few months later, we found out it was being transformed into a Princess and the Frog-themed ride. As someone who has been to Disney a ton, I can guarantee that absolutely no one of any age or race standing in line for that ride is thinking about how the story is racist. We all just want to ride for the sake of entertainment.

"Princess and the Frog" is one of my all time favorite movies....as is "Song of the South"!! I grew up with my dad reading the stories to us...it's still a main staple in our home!!

Hold on I Remember Song of the South as a kid but never knew the name of it, it didn't come off races are inappropriate at all if anything it made the black man look like the wonderful cheerful person you want to be around cuz he's a good kind soul

That’s part of the problem-the dishonest portrayal of the happy Black Sambo caricature. Neither slavery, nor The Reconstruction Era were a time of jubilee for the enslaved African captive. That’s where the issue lies-viewing the conditions and realities of this era with rose colored glasses. Very misrepresentative. I’m almost certain that if there were a Disney ride with “historical” reference to the Holocaust or misrepresented the harsh realities that “Jews” faced, and Disney disbanded it, no one would bat an eye. The selective outrage is outrageous.

i love they said that they use slang or traditional black songs. I love how similar the 2 movies are but one only got cancelled considering the time period it was released.

I’m actually old enough to have watched this. I thought Briar Rabbit and Bear were funny and jovial. I am not old enough to be your grandpa.

Just to Explain A Little Bit: The Ride Is Just Getting a Retheme, The Ride Track will be the Exact same, Just all References To SOTS Will be removed and replaced with Princess and The Frog. The Exterior and Surrounding area is Also Getting a Refurb.

We used to watch The Song of The South when I was in elementary school back in the 90's. I grew up in a very racially balanced county right outside Washington DC. Actually, at that time, the county I lived in had the richest population of black Americans in any county in the United States... And nobody found it racist. Our music teacher was an old black lady and half my class was black. We all loved that movie... What changed? Why is it racist now?

They are erasing an iconic legend. Who didn't love Uncle Remus? I think I will sing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah on the daily from now on. I doubt the song will offend anyone. My singing however...well...apologies in advance to those who may hear it.

I can't wait to see the "Brett Cooper watches Song of the South" video -- hint hint. You need to see this movie, it is a great film.

Honestly, it would’ve made much more sense to revamp Tom Sawyer’s island with the Princess and the Frog theme than Splash Mountain. There’s plenty of room on that island for interactive adventures and even a little restaurant if they wanted. It would also become the focal point of that portion of the park; and Tom Sawyer’s island has needed some tlc for a while.

They closed a popular display at the Royal B.C. Museum because they deemed it was too ‘colonial’. It was like walking down a street in Old Victoria, British Columbia, and it had a mock-up of the aft end of George Vancouver’s ship, the H.M.S. Discovery. It was the most popular display in the museum. They had a special week where people could see their last views of their beloved Old Town before it closed.

I seen song of the south. It's not racist. It's kind of boring but it has a lot of historical value. In fact the actors enjoyed being in the film. The little boy is also the voice of Peter Pan btw. Also it tells actual black folktales. As much as I like the princess & the frog, it is based on a European fairytale where song of the south has original black stories in it. Something disney no longer does apparently.
