Disney and it's affiliates have spoken out in their support of Black Lives Matter, but now some fans think they can do more. Some have taken to Twitter to speak out about Splash Mountain.
Splash Mountain is based on the 1946 Disney film Song Of The South which was widely criticized for it's depictions of African Americans.
