I just went with the family to Disney World, and was actually amazed at how much stuff is based on Song of the South. You see Ariel from "The Little Mermaid", you see Buzz and Woody from "Toy Story", and you hear Zip-a-dee-doo-dah from "[REDACTED - THIS NEVER EXISTED - REPORT TO ROOM 101 FOR REEDUCATION]". There's some costuming and stuff in the parade for it, and a few other things too.

It's in competition with what is just a shitload of stuff now (all of Disney, all of Pixar, all of Star Wars, all of Marvel), and it's still holding its own in the park pretty well for a thing that never existed. It's not dominant, since nothing can really be dominant in a line up like that, but it's definitely there.

I remember going to Disney World as a kid and having no idea what half the characters we saw were from... Br'er Rabbit, Fox, Bear.

That was in the 90's, so before the Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel stuff got pulled into the fold. It's good to see that there are still some characters floating around that kids have no reference for.
