The log flume in a theme park was never meant to be history. It was meant to be entertaining. If it was history, there would be no talking animals.
Not exactly. I don't have a problem with tweaking parts of the ride.
They don't have to leave the ride exactly as it is as long as they don't add Johnny Depp animatronics (that's a deal breaker).
I also think you are underestimating people and kids in not wanting to learn the history and origins behind Bre'r Rabbit, etc.

That's not a tweak. That's an overhaul and erasing Bre'r Rabbit.Good lets tweak it by changing it to princess and the frog with no johnny depp animatronics. problem solved.
I think disney should do a multi-part documentary on SoTS and bre'r rabbit and so forth for disney+ so people can learn and have conservations in their houses about it.
Or just let them watch the original and allow them to think and judge it for themselves.

Yep. Totally erasing him. Start grieving now, I guess and go troll someplace else.That's not a tweak. That's an overhaul and erasing Bre'r Rabbit.

Not sure why you want to erase history or pretend things didn't happen.
This doesn't "erase history" or pretend things didn't happen. As other's have mentioned, this "history" will simply be told elsewhere and by others in a more appropriate setting.
The whole "erase history" is the same argument being used elsewhere about the removal of items that deeply offend that should have never been made in the first place. It's a strawman argument and holds no weight.
No reason to name call. I don't call you names.Yep. Totally erasing him. Start grieving now, I guess and go troll someplace else.
I like it for the ride. The ride experience is good, one of the best log flume rides ever. I don't care what characters accompany the ride. I bet the ride will still be fun and enjoyable with Princess and the Frog characters. I bet it will. Is saving the Song of The South theming the hill you want die on? Is it? If that's your choice, so be it. I will be over in Frontier Land enjoying the ride.
It would be disingenuous to pretend that Disney doesn't have perhaps THE largest platform in the world. Kids and adults grow up learning stories as told by Disney. I know I'm not alone in having seen Disney movies, and then exploring the origins of the stories Disney tells, and in doing so, becoming more familiar with the cultures from which the stories originate. We don't know what we don't know. If we haven't grown up hearing a particular story, then Disney has this enormous platform to introduce us to it, and to initiate the learning process. I probably never would have read the original Little Mermaid story had I not been obsessed with the Disney movie. Quite obviously, the story would have still existed and been familiar to many, but the magnitude of Disney's influence can't be denied.Thankfully, @Hummingbird has already reassured us that changing the theming of this ride doesn't equal Br'er Rabbit erasure! Whew!
Yes, its bland without theming. The new theming will be good. i was skeptical about the re-theming of both Malestrom and Tower of Terror in CA. Both were done well. This one will be too, and STILL it will be the same ride track with the fun big drop at the end. You know which re-theming didnt work? Journey Into Imagination. I miss Dreamfinder
