Disneyland has removed the “zip-a-dee-doo-dah” lyric played during its park parades because it comes from a movie that has been criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans. The lyric initially appeared in the “Magic Happens” parade when it debuted in March 2020. The parade recently returned after a nearly three-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
” It’s being revamped to star the characters from the 2009 animated film, “The Princess and the Frog,” which features Disney’s first Black princess. Disney\n \n said at the time that the new Splash Mountain concept is “inclusive” and “one that all of our guests can connect with and be inspired by.” The Splash Mountain ride at Walt Disney\n \n World in Orlando has already been closed for remodeling. The new attraction is expected to open at both US resorts in 2024.
Stop.
Disneyland removes a song due to racism ties but promotes electric vehicles that are literally powered by African slave labor. Disney at least stay consistent
Dear lord ffs
Disney DisneyStudios WaltDisneyWorld the biggest tourist trap in the world. You will never get my family’s money.
Removing a song that talks positively about sunshine & having a wonderful day. Sure is more offensive than the lyrics of many songs today that come with “explicit content “ warnings. How many people under 40 have seen the flippin’ movie? I’m over 60, know the song, not the movie.
Guess all we have to do now is criticize something to get it canceled!!! 🙄🙄🙄
The woke have no culture, they just remove things whilst still ripping off facets of cultures that aren't to do with theirs. They have nothing to them.
Literally no one found this controversial. Not once in my life have I ever heard anyone mention this. SMH....
Just because a movie is racist doesn’t mean a song from that movie is… like these reaches Disney…
Disney's 'End Racism' moment
How ridiculous!! What is the world coming to!?!? The songs have been written the lyrics sung ! Absolutely pathetic
Never thought I'd see the day! This is literally the reason why I find a bathroom to stay in during any Disney parade
LOL
Enough Already!!!
When is this going to stop?!?!?
From this point forward, I will never spend one single cent on Disney products, or the theme parks.
I’m just here to see the people pretending that hearing this nonsense phrase is a cornerstone of American culture or something
Disneyland should have all their permits revoked.
Sooner or later there will be complete silence at any amusement park because every single lyrics will be considered offensive. Even one piano or guitar chord will trigger someone.
Aside from the ride, the song was an iconic song for the company, specifically the parks. This country is so dumb.
Disney is destroying itself. True definition of go woke and go broke. Never giving them another dime.
Uncle Remus was a kind, gentle story teller. Apparently that's racist now. Should he have been portrayed as a mean, violent criminal? Disney Disney
What about the Siamese cats?
This is stupid. Black people are looking with a magnifying glass for ways to find a connection with racism and becoming extremely annoying. I am hispanic. My antecesors may have a history, but I leave the past in the past. Move on!!!
And the Insanity continues.😜😜
“We’re all gonna be so happy, we’ll be whistling ‘Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah’ out of our asses!”
Cancel Ben Vareen!!! Racist!!!
What a damn shame.
For context this article talks about Zip Coon, the original racist song that brought us the Disney tune.
Now that Aunt Jemina's off the pancake syrup, this lyric removal should just about solve any remaining problems.
If “Has been criticized” becomes the norm for removal of things in society, then we’re going back to the stone age pretty sharpish. Especially in a world of so many fucking complainers.
Congrats to Disney for ending racism once and for all
What part of the song of the south WOULDNT be criticized for racist portrayal lmao. Shit's like the Official Racism manual.
No more bluebird on your shoulder
I will think of it the same way I did as a child. As a song I liked to hear when in Disney Not anything further Not due to ignorance or neglect,but because I leave my memories right where they are If they feel they have to remove it. Fine. All things fade. Disney as a whole too
Yet democrats hold on to the party name that fought a civil war to keep their slaves, voted unanimously to deny black people the right to vote and other untold horrors. Weird.
Wow. Dream big!
And put some pants on Donald Duck while you're at it. The Donger's a little too old to be going commando.
The more of this cancelling of the past the more people turn away from this progressive shit. Keep it up 👏
Disney, are you actually letting Bannon et al choose your policies?
Bring back the topless Splash Mountain pix! Those are great.
The normal person reads this headline and thinks “oh okay” and moves on, but the ❄️ in these comments feel so en lined to comment on this and want to cancel Disney lollll
Tom Hanks sang it it Splash. That guy sucks
…What a wonderful day…
Another thing for for certain 'commenters' to be enraged about
La-dee-fricken-da my oh my
Be careful what you wish for America. You just might get it.
Disney will go bankrupt this year
It make sence, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell was there and didn't had their song, also Br'er Rabbit wasn't there
❄️‘s
The song also refers to a bird as “blue,” a reference to color, and calls it Mr., clearly delineating only the male bird as worthy of mention.
And yet we still have to endure “it’s a small world “
Disney isn’t the enemy, churches that rape children are. Woke culture isn’t problematic, republicans not going after rape factories churches are!
What a hypocritical country we live in
Disney is hell bent on destroying itself.
I like boobs
You mean a movie that portrayed exactly how life was back then? Yeah, we sure as fuck wouldn't want to learn from history. Fucking, woke-flakes
Disney is successful leaving lyrics in, leaving the rides as they were. People just can't enjoy something, even music, without trying to think too much and dissect everything
Well it’s about goddamn time! Only took em a million years.
So because the song came from a movie that's been criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans, Disney feels it's inappropriate? Nothing in the song is racist. What's next? Removing Snow White's song, 'Someday My Prince Will Come' because it's too sexual?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn’t even consider taking my kids to WOKE Disneyland anymore… this is madness. The radical Left is destroying this country
Lord….please take me back to 1995 and leave me there!!!! 🤦🏾♂️
🤡🌏
How ridiculous. Its a song
Who the fuck is out here getting offended by “zip a dee do dah zip a dee day”? For real. Who?!
The erasure of history is hazardous to civilization.
😂🚦😂
Singing it in my head right now.
And about the origin of the song - minstrel things with all 'choice' words.
Throwing the baby out with the bath water and cutting off your nose to spite your face. So stupid. Everyone loves Song of the South.
Yes, a kind older man dispensing wisdom with positivity is a real scandal.
I haven’t been in Disney since forever, so, I don’t care if they all move to Mars!
I’m sure Disneys next move will be to denounce and cancel all Democrat party politicians as Dems history of support for slavery and segregation has had devastating impacts on Black Americans, much more destructive than these lyrics. Don’t hold your breath.
Was it really a wonderful day for Uncle Remus and his kin? With their raggedy clothes, living in the shadow of the big house? It wouldn't be for me...not so soon after slavery.
I’m okay with that. But I will still sing that joyful song to my granddaughter.. who is of mixed race…with a disclaimer later.
I knew there'd be a bunch of crybaby 'alpha males' in the replies
Dear aliens, Aaaaaannnytiiiiiime now
🤦♂️🙄 ffs
Go woke go broke!
James Baskett who played uncle Remus in the song of the south, is the first African-American male actor to win an Oscar (the film itself won an Oscar). The story of Brair rabbit itself has heavy ties to the black community. This is a Cash grab & a bunch of angry white people
I always thought Uncle Remus was pretty cool.
good that song sucks
P*ssies
And I’ve removed Disney stock from my investment portfolio.
Go woke go broke
Now why do I get the feeling this is a smoke screen.
Evil lyrics. My, oh my, what a wonderful day. Plenty of sunshine heading’ my way.
Jesus. You should probably cancel every one of your employees because the majority of them have ancestors with slaves..
progress
zip-a-dee-doo-dah” is now racist lmao how god damn sad
Camp town ladies sing this song doo-dah, doo-dah Camp town race-track 5 miles long doo-dah, doo-dah It's not from this?
Between the erasure of zip a dee doo dah and the reimagining of splash mountain, racism has been truly defeated.
State run media reporting for duty
They don’t write lyrics like that anymore…
What does that have to do with the song!! That’s a very positive and uplifting song !!!!! There’s legit criticism u can level against the movie but don’t take it out on the song
Number of blacks helped: 0
Cue all the fragile white folks! Cue all the “everything’s gone woke!” bozo’s!
I'm so tired of all these BS.
Oh for fuck sakes! Give me a break…
Cancel everything
Can Disney destroy their brand any faster?
This is the third time they’ve tweeted this “breaking news” in last 24 hrs 🙄🙄🙄
This is important for who?
I thought it only played on splash Mountain
That’s just ridiculous. That offends me.
What a crock of ****
F***whining crack-privileged tech-layoff YouTubers at it again.
JarvisGoogoo Good job Disney. Anything racist has to be removed. A stronger message than just 'no to racism'
🤦🏻♀️
It's weird because Disney even had Miley Cyrus record this song and it's on every soundtrack of Disney like forever and been covered by everyone. 🤷
good.
Hahah the fragility in the comments is amazing
Never spending another Dime in Disney again
Woke Disney is dropping down the toilet w this bs. Song of the South is a great film & should not be ignored or dismissed.
They are not removing the ride, only changing its theme, which is good news for those who are tired of celebrating a false culture. Disney will replace the theme with the Princess & the Frog, which is appropriate.
They might as well just closed down Disney all together. Most of what they do probably has some fucking racial tone.
So ridiculous
😞
It’s official. And you know what I mean.
Bring back Brer Rabbit and the Tar Babies
That my favorite Song.
How dare they remove a song because of racial stereotypes against Black Americans. Why break American 🇺🇸 tradition?
That’s what happens when you create a culture historically steeped in anti-blackness.
Zip a dee doo dah no one gives a shit
Disney shut the F up and why can’t my wife watch TLC now on the GetSpectrum app? It worked last week. 🤦♂️. Takes to to DisneyPlus website. Time to watch the free shows on cinemahdv2 now. 👍🍻
Stop the WOKE idiocy. This is all geared towards dividing our country every opportunity they have.
Gotta be kidding me 🤣
Disney, please continue the march toward self destruction. I’m fine if you go under.
This is ridiculous!! If your the few that are offended by the song. Don’t go to Disney!!
Oh brother
And they continue to implode.
Welcome to 2023, where everything offends people and everything is racist. What a fucking joke.
Yes, we need to focus on the important things. Oh my goodness. This is nothing but window dressing.
This shit is great. Just erase everything. I would never go to Disney
now make tarzan black...
Insanity
👀✨——
Another stake in Disney future
I’m old enough to remember when liberals were all dope smoking, pill popping, party animals. Now they’re just sad, depressed, pathetic losers constantly looking for ways to get offended. This woke shit needs to stop.
Disneyland is no longer a positive experience for kids.
Everything is racist except black people come on now
Just another reason not to buy Disney products.
So sad…great song. Very Happy. Give this racist nonsense a break.
Democrats, just go ahead and remove yourselves- the party of the trail of tears, slavery, eugenics, Jim Crow and the KKK- so we can erase your existence and go back to being Americans again.
Bahahahahahahahahaha
Oh that is absolute bullshit. Tired of this everything is racist if blacks object.
Hahaha who cares
The world has gone completely nuts!
All the bullshit aside, that is a great song
People need to get a life and stop whining about every little thing.
Disney is losin money hand over fist with this woke bullshite. Which is nice since they work for China.
Parody accounts are supposed to be labeled.
That’s fine with me, I won’t be going to their parks until they drop the woke attitude.
FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!
So much for the happiest place on earth.. another victim of social media.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Good maybe they can substitute WAP by Cardi B now in the parade. Seems like the next logic step for their advancement of wokeism.
And I thought it came from a Dave Chappelle standup
The Movement to Erase Black History and Culture
Sad day for Mr Disneys memories
Lord, help us all. Finding problems where there are none.🙄
Yeah, let's do things like this. That's what's going to help the black community.
Go woke, go broke.
Disney is destroying itself
Whatever, already been 5 years since I stopped going there, cancels Disney cable, and won’t watch another Disney made movie! They are assisting to separate the people of this world!
Endless woke horseshit.
Every second of every day they play the victim.
So why is the ride still open at its other parks in Japan?
Oh geez. The world has gone mad.
Disney sucks!
Oh Geez us- Now non sensible non word formations are racist
Yeah that makes sense. 🤨
Classic song. Sing it in the shower.
Disneyland is stupid
4) You are expanding racial divide where if there was ever a white man that the black community should celebrate and honor, it was Joel Chandler Harris. So keep playing that race card, keep going “WOKE” and keep going “BROKE”.
2) The stories were written by Joel Chandler Harris (a white man); a Georgia native, and Atlanta Resident of the Wren’s Nest. Harris was a devout abolitionist and well known friend to W.E.B DuBois who founded the NAACP when doing so was extremely dangerous.
1) Disney is stuck on stupid! Know where “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” comes from? Disney's 'Song of the South' (1946). It surrounds folklore stories about Uncle Remus, Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, Brer Fox, The Tar Baby, et al.
No wonder Disney is losing money hand over fist.
Get in the 🗑 Disney.
New song.... over the rainbow
Don't fix flints water supply, just remove zip a Dee doo dah! Cried the liberal! Socialism or barbarism are the only options, America.
That was best ride at Disneyland. I'm no longer paying the mouse so it's whatever but it's a shame others won't get to enjoy it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re country is in serious trouble.
🙄
The baby definitely got thrown out with the bathwater
Lol yeah right ✅️
In the fake news...anything that comes out of
It's good business sense to cater to your customers. Do I think it's unnecessary? Sure, but I'm not their target market.
Thank god
So done with Disney disney
Always liked the song. Didn't know it was from a movie till I was an adult, and I'm in my sixties.
Just close both of those fucking parks down … I’m sick to death of all this ridiculous bullshit
California is a cesspool, so are the clowns screaming racism
Pathetic!!
National News.. always the media is reinforcing the black inferiority complex and the white guilt complex.
If the lyrics to the song were derogatory or offensive I could understand it removal, but that is not the case. So….
Idiots
nothing but a petulant group of children crying out... people need to boycott disney for a lack of courage....
Exactly why I detest anything Disney
All for the appeasement of the Perpetually Offended Cultists.
🤦♀️
🤦♂️
Really? Wtf
We're all gonna have so much fuckin' fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles! You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of your assholes! Hahaha. I gotta be crazy, I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose! Praise Marty Moose! Holy shit!
Disney bows to the Leftist mob. I guess they didn’t learn from the Lightyear movie. I won’t be watching their movies or visiting their parks.
They still haven’t learned their lesson. More losses coming
I love Song of the South. We all grew up with Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus Brer Rabbit stories. ❤
Now we have the Peter Woke Pan and the gender neutral Wendy coming out.
Now this is just my opinion, but black people need to be offended by Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, and not some catchy line from a kids movie. Wtf.
Eventually white ppl will have to be done away with because their existence reminds some black woman somewhere of slavery.
God we need Thanos so bad.
They say they are doing this for the sake of black people. We don’t need people pretending to be ‘offended’ on our behalf! This is a way for them to whitewash their racist past. American soil is soaked with the blood of innocent people. We wont forget no matter how hard they try
It’s going to be funny when our grandchildren start cancelling the things we are producing today because of stereotypes and racism that they can’t handle
Mogan Freeman said it best. The only way to stop racism is to stop identifying by your race. The more it's pointed out there's a difference the longer the differences will be there. The new thing is race and nationality. Black American, Asian American, Latino American...
This is a joke, right? OMG
cwt_news
🤡
Ok you all are just beyond help!
And I have removed myself from all things Disney post 2010.
Lol…is this satire?
Cancel your Disney subscription
They need to replace those problematic songs with songs made by today’s wonderful up and coming black artists who are great role models for our young children. Artists like Cardi B, Meg Thee Stallion, Playboi Carti, and Ice Spice would be more appropriate for a Disney parade.
MY GOD WTF IS GOIN ON HERE. Whats next,removing the name SNOW WHITE?
I think it's more they wanted to remove a lyric because it wasn't sung by a white person. Or am I being woke wrong? Lol
Wokedy woke bs
So dumb
song of the south is a great movie, theres alot more rascist movies out there then people are talking about go watch it if you can find a copy
Wow, who knew Disney has been cranking out white supremacists all this time. Next stop on the cancel culture train will be Captain America.
CNN is intentionally trying to rile up DeSantis and his base with this story. That's vile.
Anti Southern Bigots
This is for you Disney and pathetic progressive activists at CNN.
Good god. How pathetic.
Oh, FFS…
😢😢
The modern day portrayal of black people would be far more offensive. Just got done walking to get some takeout in fishkorn Detroit…holy shit. There are some real problems here.
This is exhausting.
Finally, been really bothering me for years. Disney just get better, now pay up.
ANY pushback against 'Racist Lyrics' is the HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY when the CityOfHouston ENDORSES BlackMusic that PROFITS from calling Women Bitch ON THE RECORD. Publish the EqualRightsAmendment to end Misogyny
When is the Jefferson Memorail coming down, as well as closing Monticello?
Watch footage from 1991 Splash Mountain opening ceremony. There were Black performers celebrating. No issues. Just everybody having a good time in an era before the the perpetually offended came on the scene.
And they wonder why they are going broke. Lmao!! Go woke, go broke losers!!
We live in incredibly stupid times
🤦🏻♂️🤡
That’ll fix things
Disney has also removed any possibility that I will ever again patronize Disney in any way imaginable.
No one cares about Disney or CNN
I get it but the truth is that everything from that time period is racist. I’m Jewish and I drive a Ford. We can take bigotry from the past and put it in context without getting our pantries in a bunch. Just my two cents
Ridiculous Woke
This is why Disney is going to tank.
Everybody's got a laughing place...
They ban songs not guns. Miserable wokers
Get bent Disney
dbchirpy This is good. Disney is listening to their clientele. Not promoting racism, sexism, anti-gay, etc. It’s not like State of Florida that is covering up their history and USA history.
Seriously!?! When did our country actually start acting like a buch of wining little bitches!?
We'll ZIPADEEDOODAH, what a wonderful signal of changing something that has absolutely no bearing on anyone and was probably long forgotten until some yuppie Disney executive brought back to people's attention by virtue signaling to a minority of people that care.
Let’s be more inclusive by removing black people from products and movies
Lol insanity
🙄
🤡🥜😂😂😂😂
Everything is racist nowadays
Will Disneyland stop selling watermelon & chicken too, ya know, to be less racist?
From the 1946 movie Song of the South, which ironically was produced by Walt Disney
