‘Song of South’ trends as people question racial origin of Splash Mountain music

If you’ve ridden ‘Splash Mountain’ at Disney World or Disneyland, the theme music should be familiar to you.

Mobile users hear song here.

As shows like 'Cops' are being canceled and warnings of 'products of their time' being added to old cartoons and movies, now many are calling for the song to be pulled from the ride for its racist ties.

The music originates from an old Disney movie, “Song of the South.”

But good luck finding it on any stream service - the movie has disappeared from any popular video watching platforms.

One Twitter user writes, “It’s funny how this is a movie that Disney is absolutely ashamed of, but they still have a ride based off it."

Another writes that he has known about the ride music’s racist origin for a long time, “but the songs about Br'er Rabbit have grown on me over the years.”

No word yet on whether Disney plans to change the ride in response to the public outrage.
