 Song of
the South
The movie Splash Mountain is based on.
After years of riding on Splash
Mountain in Disneyland I finally bought my own copy of Disney's Song of the South movie
and got to see how similar the ride is to the movie! I saw
many of Splash Mountain's scenes throughout the movie and grew an understanding of
many aspects of the rides theme such as:
-
the drop into the Briar
patch's significance
-
Learn
about what goes on in that flash mountain top's tree stump & its
name,
-
see
the story behind the laughing place and its beeezzz
-
see
the fishing frog and many other characters seen throughout the ride
-
even
the fencing style in the movie is the same around Splash Mountain
-
also
learn how much
Brer Bear is being paid to bounce up and down on the rope
-
and
heaps more!
-
Check out the
movie here!
