Only a few months ago, some Disney fans and conservatives alike were angered by the closing and planned revamping of the popular attraction "Splash Mountain." The ride is being redesigned at both Disneyland and Disney World, incorporating Disney's Princess Tiana in its theme and doing away with associations with "Song of the South," the 1946 Disney musical. According to USA Today, Disney CEO Robert Iger described "Song of the South," set in the post-Civil War plantation era and including harmful racist stereotypes, as "just not appropriate in today's world."
Now conservatives have another song to be angry about. Several songs, in fact, as news has emerged that the upcoming live action film of "The Little Mermaid" will include new tunes and changed lyrics for old ones. The lyrics in question include consent and young girls speaking up.
