Here is a look at the concept art revealed today: And to their great-granddaughters joining us on the journey today, we’re celebrating with you. Our efforts are a tribute to the beauty and dignity of all proud Black women who came before us. The creative team also took special care when fashioning Tiana’s hairstyle, creating a cut that emphasized the versatility of Black women’s hair. We wanted her look to reflect that, as well as be a compliment to the story’s setting. ![]() Tiana was equally at home in the bayou as she was in the restaurant. As Costume Designer Ida Mudrow phrased it: The design process involved research into the fashion trends of the 1920s, which is the setting for the classic film, making sure the clothing was historically accurate while reflecting Tiana’s personality. This new attraction will also introduce a whole look for Tiana, from head to toe.

The attractions will lose their Song of the South connection and gain a Princess and the Frog theme, with characters and music from the film. Splash Mountain’s replacement is part of a broader diversity and inclusion initiative at Disney’s theme parks to address offensive content in its theme parks, and Walt Disney World and Disneyland have also retooled their Jungle Cruise attraction to address the ride’s negative depictions of native people.Disney’s popular Splash Mountain water flume rides in both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom will soon be transformed. Though Splash Mountain is still open in the parks, Disney has already taken other steps to erase Song of the South from its theme parks, such as removing the song “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” from background music loops. The ride’s impending removal has proved controversial, with fans of the attraction buying up merchandise in the wake of Disney’s announcement that it would be replaced. It has never been released on home video in the U.S. The 1946 film has been criticized for its romanticized depictions of race relations in the post-Civil War South, among other problems, and was last released in theaters in 1986. Splash Mountain has been among Disney parks’ most popular rides since it first opened in Disneyland in 1989 and Walt Disney World in 1992, even as Disney has pulled Song of the South from circulation. ![]() “We’re going to deliver a wonderful attraction.” Key Background “Our guests are going to have to put a little bit of trust into us for a bit because we promise not to let you down,” Valiquette said on the Orlando Sentinel’s Theme Park Rangers podcast. ![]()
