New York CNN - Disneyland has removed the “zip-a-dee-doo-dah” lyric played during its park parades because it comes from a movie that has been criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans.
The lyric initially appeared in the “Magic Happens” parade when it debuted in March 2020. The parade recently returned after a nearly three-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Upon its re-introduction last month, spectators of the twice-daily parade, described as “celebrating magical moments from legendary Disney stories” on its website, now hear the lyric -“think of the happiest things” from “Peter Pan”- in its place. The change to the parade’s lyrics was first reported in the OC Register.
I am just waiting for a new sign at the entrance of Disney: "No whites allowed".
ReplyDeleteIt's only a matter of time.
DeleteHenk don't worry they do not need the sign they are doing it without the sign and killing a once great company.
