Splash Mountain Demo Tape (1989)

Splash Mountain was originally conceived in 1983 by Imagineer Tony Baxter to solve multiple problems facing Disneyland, primarily what to do with all of the audio-animatronics from the recently closed attraction America Sings. The solution was a new ride based on the beloved 1946 Academy Award winning Walt Disney animated feature Song of the South. New CEO Michael Eisner greenlit the attraction and Splash Mountain opened July 17, 1989.

Actor Nick Stewart who had portrayed Br'er Bear in the original film was brough back to reprise his role for the attraction. The attraction became the most popular attraction at Disneyland and was quickly added to the other Disney parks.

After the George Floyd riots the woke social justice warriors demanded the attraction be torn down and replaced with a new version based on the Princess & the Frog. Despite still being the most popular attraction of any theme park, Woke Disney complied and Splash Mountain closed May 31, 2023. The attraction was removed from all Disney parks but Tokyo Disneyland who refused. All of the Splash Mountains were torn down shortly afterward.

This video is the original demo recordings for Splash Mountain with some of the original concept art. If you listen carefully, you can hear Thurl Ravenscroft as one of the singers.

Splash Mountain may be destroyed but we can still protect the film that inspired it, Song of the South.

Celebrate stolen history by nominating a classic film, Song of the South, to the National Film Registry as Woke Disney is purging every aspect of it from existence. In theory, that's why the National Film Registry exists.
Walt Disney's Song of the South is the first Technicolor feature film made that blended live action with animation throughout the film.

The popular song Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah won the Oscar for Best Song. Woke Disney has purged this song from the theme parks and elsewhere.

Actor James Baskett is the first black actor to win an Oscar and it was for this film! He was honored with an eternal Oscar for his portrayal of Uncle Remus in Song of the South.

Actor Nick Stewart played Br'er Bear, started the Ebony Showcase Theater with the earnings from this film. He returned to play Br'er Bear again in Splash Mountain and remodeled the theater. He was a Civil Rights pioneer and said "Walt Disney treated us like kings."

Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel plays a major character in this film. She's the first black actress to win an Oscar for Gone with the Wind.

The characters from this film were a major part of Walt Disney's stable of stars and he frequently revisited them again and again in his television, commercial, theme park ventures and more. The Uncle Remus stories were very special to Walt and so was this film inspired by them.

Don't let Woke Disney erase important black, American, and cinematic history!

Please nominate this historic film to the National Film Registry as Woke Disney purges every aspect of this special film from pop culture.
