What's up with the "TAR BABY"? | Problems with Disney's Song of the South | Before Splash Mountain

SUBSCRIBE: / retrospectrum
I grew up with Splash Mountain but I'm truly excited for a change! Today's video is part of a series discussing Brer Rabbit, Song of the South, America Sings, Splash Mountain, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure. I think it's fun that one of Disney's most problematic properties will be replaced by something more timely and relevant. My goal will be to discuss the evolution of the attraction honestly and respectfully.
Of course, there is far more info than I could fit in one video. So below you'll discover some resources that might be valuable for anyone looking to research the topic further:
