I want to give another update on when this account will return, and unfortunately it will not be soon. I will be on hiatus for the time being. The most important history behind Splash Mountain is in the pinned thread. I will return eventually, just not now.

A thread about former CEO Bob Iger turning down a release for "Song of the South" xitter.cf/SplashMHS/status/20144…
Splash Mountain Historical Society@SplashMHSJan 22
According to Leonard Maltin, “Song of the South” was meant to rerelease between 2005-2007 with the Walt Disney Treasures DVD set, but Bob Iger himself shut it down. Apparently those in the home video department were “dying” to get it out, knowing it would make huge profit.

A video of former CEO Bob Chapek, whom the replacement for Splash Mountain was announced under, getting information about the attraction wrong xitter.cf/SplashMHS/status/20156…
Splash Mountain Historical Society@SplashMHSJan 26
Many people have messaged me asking if the short-lived CEO Bob Chapek ever gave a statement regarding the film. On February 19, 2021, Chapek falsely claimed that Splash Mountain was around for over 60 years, and that "Song of the South" had "happy slaves" within it.

I got notified of this, and it stings to hear. Kathy Mangum often described Splash Mountain as one of the best rides and said it was the most popular attraction. It is gross to hear her say she was uncomfortable by JD Hall, an African American actor, doing the voice for Brer Fox.

JD Hall loved what he did for Splash Mountain, just like several of the African American artists and actors who participated in its creation.

I should probably give an update on why I have not posted in a while. It is for a few reasons. I have been fed up with the Disney community for ages, and seeing them brush over the fact Disney admitted they use generative AI within Imagineering made me really upset. (1/3)

Disney and its fans continue to disappointment me with their disregard for art in the past few months. I have lost severe interest in being on this platform due to the constant compliance in Disney’s harm to art and people in general.

Disney has been implementing generative AI into their products since 2023, with it primarily being related to their parks. They confirmed that use AI for concept art, prototyping for future attractions, and coming up with ideas.

This is just the tip of the iceberg as well, Disney is one of the most pro AI companies in the world at the moment, yet nobody cares.

The first post in this thread has a minor grammatical error, sorry about that. “That they use” is what I meant to say.

It is really funny that a White man is calling me, a progressive Black woman, a "white supremacist" for talking about African American history. His entire thread is just saying that I am wrong without providing evidence, meanwhile I have researched this topic for years. Losers.

Not to mention Ryan is actively hiding replies, and the people retweeting his post have compared Splash Mountain fans to the KKK before. These people are unserious and do not deserve to control the narrative regarding African American history.

Ryan is continuing his lying and hiding of replies. Hiding opposing viewpoints to yours shows that your goal was to control the narrative, not to have a genuine discussion about the topic.

Another reason is that I feel as if I need a break from Twitter, there is so much toxicity on this platform that I lose the passion to share information. I should be back to my regular posting by October, I only briefly returned today to defend my friends and myself. (2/3)
