The famous auctioneer scene that takes place on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland and Disney World is set to be overhauled, according to a press release from the Disney Parks blog.
As of 2017, the attraction — which opened in 1967 in Disneyland and 1973 in the Magic Kingdom of Disney World — will no longer feature the famous auctioneer scene, in which a red-headed “wench” is auctioned off to a crowd of raucous and dirty pirates who wish to make her their bride.
An artist’s rendering of the new scenes reveals that the pirates will now be bidding on a grandfather clock, a picture frame, and goats. The red-headed woman will now carry a gun.
In the book, Pirates of the Caribbean: From The Magic Kingdom to the Movies, author and historian Jason Surrell noted that the Disney Imagineers who designed the ride are not happy about politically correct changes to the attraction, which is celebrating its 50th year in operation in 2017. After a change to a scene which originally depicted pirates chasing women, Imagineer Francis Xavier “X” Atencio, who participated in the creation of the ride in the 1960s, claimed that the change “softened” the attraction, and referred to the revised guest experience as “Boy Scouts of the Caribbean.”
Disney fans expressed their disappointment in the change in the comment section on the blog post.
“Not ok with this change! Its like Disney is saying that it’s ok rewrite history!! This is Walt’s ride no need to change such a silly iconic scene!! I’m all for moving forward
“I didn’t realize Pirates were feminists. Is this really necessary? This is further degrading the story elements of the attraction. Pirates aren’t supposed to be nice guys,” another wrote.

Boy Scouts of the Caribbean. Next thing we’ll see is a rainbow replacing the skull and crossbones on the pirate flag. I think we know where this is heading.
This is the classic tactic of deception Islam uses to work its way into power in the host country. Because of PC, Disney is playing right into it. Thanks Disney, you spineless, POS, Leftist Corporation!
“bidding on ... goats”
Ah, muslim pirates!
“Next thing we’ll see is a rainbow replacing the skull and crossbones on the pirate flag.”
Ah, yes. Rum, sodomy, and the lash. All popular now with the PC crowd.

And of course transgender pirates.
Disney should have just told them the wench was LGBT and they’d have earned extra credit.
Same reason why comedians will not perform on college campuses:
People are actively *looking* to be offended.

What crow are you talking about.
Dumbo is often criticized as racist for the inclusion of the black crows as African-American stereotypes. The name of one Crow, Jim, is a reference to the infamous Jim Crow Laws, which has brought strong criticism over the portrayal. However, some have pointed out that they were portrayed by African American actors (except for the lead crow, Cliff Edwards who was white) and such stereotypes were common at the time. It is noteworthy that they are some of the few characters who are sympathetic towards Dumbo; they apologize for picking on the elephant, and they help Timothy teach Dumbo to fly.
Yup. There's a Jungle Cruise where a rhino is poking a guy's behind while he's holding onto a tree trunk. The rhino animal and his horn will be replaced by a randy gay man.
Surprised Disney isn’t doing a gay redheaded guy who is all verklempft.
