The “Song of the South” reference previously found on one of the wall displays in Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been removed.

‘Song of the South’ Removed from Walt Disney Presents

We noticed that the reference that was previously along the gallery wall in Walt Disney Presents for the 1943 section has been removed during a recent visit to the park.

The actual copy in the display for “1943: The Art of Animation” remains the same. However, the visuals of the display now include Mr. Toad with Angus MacBadger from “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.” The original animated film was released in 1949.

This is what the display previously looked like, with Br’er Fox, Uncle Remus, Br’er Bear, the kids, and Br’er Rabbit. The above photo was taken on September 10, 2024, so this display change must have taken place overnight or within the past couple of days.

Most references to the film and Splash Mountain have been removed from Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort due to the problematic nature of the film. However, new merch was released in March 2024 featuring Br’er Rabbit.

Splash Mountain at Disneyland is currently being reimagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure; Walt Disney World’s version opened at Magic Kingdom on June 28, 2024. Splash Mountain remains unchanged at Tokyo Disneyland.
