The history of animation is fraught with portrayals, imagery, and iconography that hasn't aged well. The medium is over 100 years old, so naturally, what seemed acceptable and au currant when it first became popular now seems utterly outrageous, offensive, and even repugnant to some viewers. Companies have gone on to handle their storied legacies in different ways.

To wit, Warner Brothers has released collections of their more controversial Looney Tunes outings with a disclaimer that explains the shorts stem from a different era, though the material wasn't acceptable even back then. Disney+ has streamed some of the studio's older shorts with a similar disclaimer. But the House of Mouse has gone one step further on occasion, removing characters and properties from their products and parks. One of the most prominent examples has been refurbing the "Song of the South"-inspired Splash Mountain into Tiana's Bayou Adventure in their theme parks.

In the past year, Disney renamed another of its theme park characters from a well-known attraction. While this change may be much more obscure than the switch-ups it's made to Splash Mountain, it still shows off the company's willingness to edit its history to increase the happiness of its guests -- a prospect that doesn't always work out for them.
