Lyrics from “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” have been quietly removed from the set list of Disneyland’s Magic Happens parade. The melody originates from the 1946 feature “Disneyland officials confirmed to thethat a lyric from the song was removed from the soundtrack of the Magic Happens parade, which is held twice daily at the Anaheim resort. The Magic Happens parade returned to the park on Feb. 24, ending a three-year hiatus prompted by the Covid pandemic.
Plans to rework Splash Mountain were first announced in June 2020, a time when Black Lives Matter protests gathered across the country to protest the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and more Black Americans at the hands of law enforcement. Set in the southern United States during the Reconstruction era, “Song of the South” follows a white boy who befriends an older Black man who works on a plantation. During its release in the ’40s and across subsequent re-releases, the film drew criticism for its use of racist stereotypes and its ahistorical conception of the plantation system as a harmonious, consensual partnership between white owners and Black slaves.
Disney CEO Bob Iger has stated that “Song of the South” is “just not appropriate in today’s world.” The film has not been released in any format in recent years.
