Why don't they have Uncle Remus in front of Splash Mountain?I don't see this as a race issue but rather one of character integrity. Disney promotes the idea that its fictional, animated characters are real and goes to great lengths to capitalize on it. This is why so many people are willing to wait hours to meet a minimum wage kid dressed up as a make believe character. I think if the image of that character in the parks doesn't match the image in the film, that jeopardizes the blending of fiction and fact that is the foundation of so much of what Disney does. Kids will no longer trust that they are really meeting Elsa or Mickey or anyone else. The whole illusion will be gone.
See my earlier post about Snow White not being German and Gaston not speaking a word of French.
This is a fantasy land where dreams come true and hamburgers cost $15. How did any of this nonsense make is on a forum about the podcast? I troll don't know.
