One of the most popular rides and attractions at Disney, Splash Mountain, will be completely reimagined and rethemed because of its ties to a controversial film that released back in the 1940s.
The new theme will be from the character of the 2009 animated film, “The Princess and the Frog,” which also features the first Black Disney princess.
Splash Mountain has been at Disney’s park since the creation of the ride in 1989, and the changes are expected to be made at Disneyland in California and the Magic Kingdom in Florida.
In fact, the film caused so much controversy in the past, Disney has totally taken the movie off the viewing market, and it was never even included from the new Disney streaming service, Disney+.
Disney has not yet announced a date for the new themed ride but has said that the redesign stage for Princess Tiana has already begun.
