Rabbit and Fox

The Rabbit and Fox are characters from the America Sings attraction at Disneyland.
==History==
===Background===
The Rabbit and Fox are anthropomorphic animals. In the "Heading West" sequence of the attraction, they will be seen in the song "I've Been Working on the Railroad", and "Fireball Mail" which was sung by the Frontier Four.
===Development History===
The rabbit and fox were created for the America Sings attraction at Disneyland in the Tomorrowland section where they were was placed in the "Heading West" sequence where the two were seen on a handcar, which opened on June 29, 1974. However, America Sings closed on April 10, 1988 in order to retheme the attraction to Innoventions. While the rabbit was moved to the Disneyland version of Splash Mountain, the fox was not moved to the attraction for unknown reasons. The rabbit animatronic was repurposed as "Br'er Rabbit".
As of 2020, Splash Mountain was announced for closure to retheme it into a Princess and the Frog-inspired attraction in order to remove references to Song of the South due to controversy surrounding the film which the attraction was based on. Therefore, it is currently unknown of what will replace the rabbit on a handcar animatronic in the Disneyland version. The Disneyland version of Splash Mountain permanently closed on May 31, 2023.
==Role in the attraction==
The Rabbit and Fox were featured during the former attraction's second act, "Heading West", where they can be seen on a handcar on a railroad in the song "I've Been Working on the Railroad", and "Fireball Mail", which was sung by the Frontier Four, until a train crashed into the two animals on the handcar which it's unclear if the two survived or not.
