Mélodie du Sud
The Splash Mountain log flume ride, installed at Disneyland in 1989, and at Tokyo Disneyland and Magic Kingdom in 1992, was based on "Song of the South". As with the film, the ride had drawn controversy over the years due to the racial issues associated with the work. Amid the George Floyd protests in 2020, Disney announced that they will retool the ride in Disneyland and Magic Kingdom to remove the "Song of the South" elements and replace them with a concept based on the 2009 film "The Princess and the Frog". Disney stated that development of the project began in 2019. "The New York Times" reported that Disney executives had been privately discussing removing the attraction's "Song of the South" theme for at least five years, before putting into development the "Princess and the Frog" theme.
