In June 2020, it was announced that the attraction's Disneyland and Walt Disney World counterparts would be re-themed to ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''. Although the announcement coincided with renewed calls for Disney to rethink its connection to ''Song of the South'', following waves of international UsefulNotes/{{BlackLivesMatter|Movement}} protests and a greater awareness of racially problematic material, Disney stated that work on the revised attraction had begun a year earlier and an official announcement was delayed because of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. [[https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/business/media/disney-splash-mountain-princess-frog.html The Tokyo Disneyland attraction will be unaffected at this time.]] (Disney doesn't own Tokyo Disneyland; the company licenses its characters and products to the Oriental Land Company for use there.)

The attraction features characters from the film's animated segments, focusing on Brer Rabbit leaving his briar patch home in search of his "Laughin' Place". Brer Fox and Brer Bear seize the opportunity to finally catch him, but he manages to stay one step ahead of them - well, until they finally reach the "Laughin' Place" and Brer Fox traps Brer Rabbit in a beehive. Fortunately, Brer Rabbit outwits Brer Fox by begging him not to throw him in the briar patch, which Brer Fox does - which is our cue to hurtle out of the mountain and down a waterfall, landing in the briar patch with a large SPLASH.

Many of the animatronics in the Disneyland version were [[PropRecycling recycled]] from ''Ride/AmericaSings''.

!!The attraction provides examples of:
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Mr. Bluebird, just like in the movie.
* AdaptedOut: None of the live action characters from the film show up.
* AnAesop: Br'er Rabbit sums it up at the end: "Home sweet home is the lesson today."
* BearyFunny: Br'er Bear might be a villain, but he's too stupid [[HarmlessVillain to be an actual threat]].
* BeeAfraid: The Laughin' Place is swarming - no pun intended - with bees, as Br'er Bear finds out the hard way.
* BriarPatching: Br'er Rabbit, of course, does this - and just like in the movie, Br'er Fox falls for it.

* CluckingFunny: Chickens appear on the riverboat during the grand finale. The Disneyland version also features a chicken in the Laughin' Place sequence.

* FantasticFoxes: Br'er Fox, of course. The Disneyland version also features a fox riding a geyser in the Laughin' Place sequence and several foxes on the riverboat at the end.
* NiceHat: Mr. Bluebird's hat. And in the Walt Disney World version, the vultures right before the big drop wear black top hats.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], the ride features several friendly reptiles. Specifically, there's...
** The Swamp Boys, a band of alligators, in all three versions
** Br'er Terrapin and the Hitchhiking Alligator in the Disneyland version
** The geyser-riding turtles in the Laughin' Place scenes of the Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland versions

* StickySituation: Br'er Fox traps Br'er Rabbit in a beehive rather than with a Tar Baby.
* StockBeehive: All over the Laughin' Place scene. One lodges itself on Br'er Bear's nose, and Br'er Fox uses another to trap Br'er Rabbit.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In the Walt Disney World version, Mr. Bluebird talks.
