In our March trip it was Autopia, and I began fantasizing about taking the car off-road, looking for ways to make the experience different, etc. This last trip for D-land's b-day {where everyone had a big meet but didn't tell crazycroc, but that's another post}, the ride she wanted to have a marathon on was Splash Mountain. During the rides, I began noticing the extreme focus on the rump of Brer Bear. He's hanging from a noose with his pants off. His front and rear exposed in plain view of the rider. His buttocks are poking out at you prior to the interior drop. At the end of the ride, Brer Fox is standing on his rounded buttocks, while the crocodile has Brer Fox's tail in his mouth. I believe there are also a few other Brer Bear butt moments that I'm not remembering right now. Also, Brer Rabbit cannot stop giggling at the Bear nudity. Always giggling and pointing. I've seen Song of the South a few times, but I remember the humor of the movie to be more based more on whomps on the head with clubs, and less on the Bear's butt. If any of you with a direct line to Tony Baxter could ask him what his intent was, it would be appreciated.

Originally Posted By knightnfrees Thanks for pointing out the bear facts, crazycroc. Some of your observations I could really get behind.

Originally Posted By mawnck Brer Bear's butt figures fairly prominently in the movie as well. But (no pun intended) I think it's more a case of spatial issues. You have a very large, bulky character who stands with a stooped posture, and a very limited amount of space. Where else are you going to find a relatively level surface? Besides, the Imagineers are still working on realistic head whomps. It isn't as easy as it looks. But thanks for such a thought provoking question. The only subtexts I ever got from Splash Mountain were "recycled 'America Sings' AAs" and "PLEEEEEASE don't put me on dat DVD!"
