6 Disney Movies That Would Have Made Better Rides Than "Song Of The South"

Hint: almost ANY of them.

This past June, Disney announced that the ride, "Splash Mountain," would abandon the extremely racist 1948 film, "Song of the South," and be rebuilt and rebranded around "The Princess and the Frog." This is super exciting, but it did not escape my attention that it took until 2020 for Disney to A) get rid of a ride dedicated to a film that glorifies slavery and B) give "The Princess and the Frog" the major attraction it clearly deserves. So, I did some Disney sleuthing, and here are 6 Disney Movies that should have been made into rides before "Song of the South" was EVER considered.

1. "The Story of Menstruation"

Psh! Women.

You and your family hop into the ovary cars, the ovarcoaster, if you will, with great gusto. You zoom into a fallopian tube, twisting and turning past preteen girls sobbing into their boudoirs. "Oh no! A cyst approaches!" Mickey Zaps it without even trying. He is Fantasia. You are safe. Minnie Sobs nearby, bleeding enthusiastically. Your middle-aged husband is slapped in the face by airborne endometrial tissue. He smiles softly. He finally understands women.

2. "The Brave Little Toaster"

The Brave Little Toaster

I think the toaster's cute friend might be a vacuum bag? I'm not sure, but I would kill and die for him/her

You get into the toaster and he's just so f*cking brave. He gives a speech about loyalty and friendship. With tears in your eyes, you run to the nearest theme park bathroom and call your meanest relative. Families reunited. Years of estrangement healed. YOU are the toaster.

3. "Fuzzbucket"

Disney's "Fuzzbucket" alien

Just LOOK at him

You don't get on this ride. No one gets on this ride unless they actively hate themselves. You've heard it consists of being locked in a dark treehouse with a hairy rodent man called Fuzzbucket who has no concept of personal space.

4. "That Darn Cat"

That meddling cat!

You get into a very average rollercoaster car. Suddenly, you hear meows. The cat has stolen the roller coaster! Darn! You chuckle all the way home.

5. "The Gnome Mobile"

image the book mobile of yore, but this time with GNOMES inside

You are on a bus and there are gnomes, oh, so many gnomes. They're singing about gnome life which consists of moss and hippity hoppity. A animatron gnome places a flower crown on your head and, staring into their joyfully blank robot eyes, you finally discover the secret to ending climate change.

6. "Unidentified Flying Oddball"

The knights of the round table but the table is a flying saucer and the knights are BOTS

You are handed a robot duck and a flower crown. You are the sword in the stone. It is the space ride but with ducks and swords. If someone knows what the plot of this movie is please notify me immediately. The two sentences on Wikipedia continue to haunt me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
