“The Princess and The Frog” star Jennifer Cody is expressing her excitement for the re-theming of Splash Mountain at Disney parks to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The decision to replace the controversial ride comes after years of public outcry regarding its racist themes.

Jennifer Cody’s Support

Jennifer Cody, known for her role as Charlotte La Bouff in the 2009 movie, has voiced her support for Disney’s initiative to update the attraction. She applauds the decision to keep up with the times and address the racist connotations associated with Splash Mountain, which was originally based on the 1946 film, “Song of the South.”

Addressing Racist Depictions

The original source material has faced heavy criticism for its racist depictions of Southern Black men and its portrayal of the antebellum South. Jennifer Cody emphasizes the importance of removing such hurtful and hateful elements from the Disney parks.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

The upcoming attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, is set to debut at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom this summer, followed by its introduction at Disneyland Park in California later in the year. The new ride promises next-level animatronics, a feature that delights Jennifer as she believes the animators from the studio’s first Black princess story deserve recognition.
