Disney will remove the infamous bride auction scene from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland next year, the company announced on Thursday.
During the planned ride refurbishment, Disney will alter the roles of the auctioneer, the redhead woman and other characters participating in the Auction: Take a Wench for a Bride scene.
In the current scene, the redhead character is the prize of the auction. According to Disney, the redhead is holding a rifle and will be a plundering pirate in the new scene. In the official announcement, Disney wrote:
the redhead is trading her fashionable bonnet for a pirates hat. Guests will now see her joining the pirates ranks and helping the locals unload their valuables at the Mercado auction.
Marty Sklar, 83, who retired as head of Walt Disney Imagineering, said Walt Disney always supported updating theme park attractions.
Pirates of the Caribbean has always represented great Disney Park storytelling; it has set the standard for the theme park industry for half a century, Sklar said. But its a story you can continue to add fun to, with great characters in new performances. Thats what the Imagineers have done with this new auction sceneits like a theatre show with a new act.
Snowflakes need fake history to sleep at night.
I don’t know if it’s snowflakes or PC or just marketing pushing more of the ride to reflect the movies (which has been slowly happening since the release of the first one.)
I just want to know if they’re going to stop waterboarding that poor guy in the well; it’s been, what, 50 years? It’s about time he gets to have some dry feet.
WTF. We wants de redhead.
Next, Disney should remove the dogs from its repertoire of cartoon characters. They are offensive to Allah according to their Prophet. You know the dogs I am writing about. They are:
Goofy, Pluto, the 101 Dalmatians, the Lady and the Tramp, Bent-Tail the Coyote, Bent-Tail Junior, The Fox and the Hound, Bomber Beagle, and the list goes on . . .
The new McCarthyism of the Left.
I’m surprised it wasn’t replaced by a transgender bathroom scene.
That’ll throw a monkey wench into the ride.
So let me guess..the pirates are gay now?
They already changed it from what it used to be. The guy being chased by heavy set woman was taken out.
Yes. They are now Butt Pirates.
The new Sharia Disneyland will hold sex slave auctions, however.
I saw a real pretty young woman at the consignment store yesterday but my wife wouldn’t let me buy her. I guess the store had read this story about Disney and took off the For Sale sign.
Now the other sales woman was “the stuff that dreams are made of”.
I ended up with a lamp.
This is all too much violence with guns. Plundering pirate, without a bridal auction , opting for aggression with fire arms instead of healthy titillation??
Pah! I’ll not ever take my kids to Disney.And they are ALL red heads!
Give me the bridal auction! NOT THE GUNS!/S
Mystery question I've been struggling with for years: Puto's a dog and Goofy's a dog. One owns his own home, drives a car, plays all sorts of sports, and is Mickey's good pal. The other is Mickey's pet.
Why is one dog an equal and the other a slave?
LOL!
“During the planned ride refurbishment, Disney will alter the roles of the auctioneer, the redhead woman and other characters participating in the Auction: Take a Wench for a Bride scene.”
Interesting that PC Disney thinks that rape and sex slavery is not OK if the auctioneer is a man, but OK if presided over by a woman. The women are captured, bound and sold as “brides” against their will. Disney thinks that human trafficking is wholesome family entertainment as long as they make a profit. Hypocrites.
Do you know the television show Who Do You Think You Are? which delves into the past family roots of various celebrities? I do not remember which black celebrity was on, but they delved into the background of his first ancestor who had come to America. The man turned out to be a go-getter who impressed his owner so much that he was allowed to buy his own freedom. The ancestor promptly left Virginia to set up a blacksmith shop just over the Mason-Dixon line in south central Pennsylvania.
He grew so wealthy that he was not only to buy the freedom of a number of slaves (including his future bride) and employ them in various businesses around town which he either owned outright or had strong ties with, but they set up a station on the underground railroad.
I think I would be damn proud to have such an ancestor, but the black celebrity was livid with anger. He'd always imagined his ancestors worked in the cotton fields and were victims of a corrupt system.
