==History==
===Development history===
The Br'er Goose animatronic in the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland versions of the attraction is actually a reused model of the animatronic goose character from the former "America Sings" which ran from 1974 to 1988, where the goose was one of the members of the Singing Geese the attraction is seen during through-out the whole attraction. After the attraction closed down in 1988, Splash Mountain opened in Disneyland in 1989, where a different goose figure was placed to represent the Br'er Goose character into the Disneyland version of the attraction. The goose animatronic from America Sings was replicated into the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland versions of the attraction, converting the America Sings character into the Br'er Goose character at the Splash Mountain attraction.
Due to the success of the attraction at Disneyland, the Splash Mountain attraction was later constructed at Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland, still featuring the scene with Br'er Goose in it.
As of 2020, Splash Mountain was announced for closure to be completely reimagined into a Princess and the Frog-themed attraction due to controversy surrounding the film which inspired the attraction. Br'er Goose was removed in the retheme attraction, while The Oriental Land Company has not decided whether to retheme the Tokyo version of the attraction or not. The Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain permanently closed on January 23, 2023 followed by the Disneyland version permanently closed on May 31 on that same year. The Oriental Land Company, however, has not yet decided whether to retheme its version of Splash Mountain yet in Tokyo Disneyland.
Easter eggs of Br'er Goose's items can be spotted inside the store of Tiana's Bayou General.

1954
Br'er Rabbit went over to Br'er Goose's home to find out what was going on. Br'er Goose told him that everyone's wives would hit their husbands for not working. Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Goose both agreed that they would not let any female hit them, until Br'er Goose's wife, Sis Goose heard about what they'd said and made the two peeled potatoes for what the two agreed too.
1963
On a cold winter day in Critter Country, Br'er Rabbit was trying to get more water for his bucket, but some water was leaking out of his old bucket because it had some holes in the bucket. He later went to the General Store, as he spotted Br'er Goose holding a bucket and asking Br'er Raccoon if he could get an axe, some firewood, and some eggs. So, then Br'er Rabbit said to Br'er Goose that he'd trade him some firewood for his bucket of eggs, and Br'er Goose was happy about that, and he told him to bring him the firewood the next morning. But Br'er Rabbit had a plan to get back at Br'er Goose by giving him a basket of apples that were bad that he traded him for. So his idea was to grab some icicles and paint them brown so that they looked like firewood to give to Br'er Goose.
But Br'er Goose also had an idea to trick Br'er Rabbit again by using a chuck of ice out of his bucket to attach wire onto the chunk of ice pretending that it's a bucket to give to Br'er Rabbit. The next morning, the two traded their things that they both promised, but as for pranks, Br'er Rabbit was proud of himself but didn't notice that the chunk of ice began to melt.
1964
Br'er Rabbit was walking around in Critter Country and spotted Br'er Goose carrying a basket of stuff and then mocked Br'er Goose about how he understood that Br'er Goose always likes to swap things that are good for nothing.
1967
On a morning day in Critter Country, Br'er Goose was just sitting down on the porch of his place until his wife brought mail to him. Br'er Goose got his Honesty Club diploma and wanted to tell Br'er Rabbit about it but also prank him. He then went over to Br'er Rabbit's place and spotted Br'er Rabbit carrying a bag of sweet potatoes and Br'er Goose told Br'er Rabbit that he had joined the Honesty Club. Then he pretended that his reading glasses couldn't work, so Br'er Rabbit decided to read his diploma, but then he'd notice that Br'er Goose didn't actually sign the diploma. Br'er Goose then grabbed Br'er Rabbit's bag of sweet potatoes and took off with it, which made Br'er Rabbit upset that he was being tricked about it.
1981
Br'er Weasel needed Br'er Goose's help for a sale to trick the critters in Critter Country, so Br'er Goose had to disguise himself as a woman so that he can sit on a machine where he lays golden eggs, but then Br'er Sparrow witnesses Br'er Weasel's evil plan. Br'er Sparrow flew to Br'er Rabbit to warn him about Br'er Weasel's plan to scam the critters, so Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Sparrow had to quickly expose Br'er Weasel and Br'er Goose. Then later, Br'er Weasel introduced Br'er Bear, Br'er Raccoon, and Br'er Possum golden eggs, until Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Sparrow exposed the two that the golden eggs were actually painted in yellow, and Br'er Goose wearing a wig. Then everyone chased the two and threw eggs at them.
