Another Beloved Disneyland Attraction Is Getting A Woke Renovation

Disneyland will be replacing a scene in its iconic Peter Pan ride to remove what it referred to as “stereotypes” of “indigenous people,” officials announced earlier this week.

The renovation to Peter Pan’s Flight in Fantasyland — which was an Opening Day attraction when the Anaheim park opened for business in 1955 — follows a similar update to the same ride in Disney’s flagship Orlando park.

In its present state, the scene portrays multiple tribal members, including a chief with his arms crossed. Characters in the scene appear peaceful, though the ride has caused controversy on Reddit. Users have referred to the depictions as “problematic” and “caricatures” of indigenous peoples.

The updated Never Land Tribe scene at the Magic Kingdom ride features  animatronic figures of Peter Pan’s friend Tiger Lily and her great-grandmother as they partake in a harvest ceremony.

Disneyland officials told the New York Post that similar changes will soon be made at the California theme park. Officials stated that a timetable for the changes is unclear at this time, though the “Imagineers” behind the theme park are focused on “thoughtful” changes.

In addition to the Peter Pan ride, Disney revamped its iconic Splash Mountain ride due to what were deemed to be racially insensitive themes. The original attraction was based on the 1946 film “Song of the South,” which has now been rebranded as “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.”

The new water ride is based on the 2009 animated film “The Princess and the Frog” and features Tiana, Disney’s first black princess.

The changes at the parks follow similar initiatives undertaken by Disney in regards to its classic films, many of which have been slapped with “trigger warnings,” including Peter Pan.

“These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” reads a disclaimer for the film on its flagship streaming service, Disney +.
