Br'er Turkey is a character who was featured in the Disney Parks attraction Splash Mountain.

History[]

Development[]

The Br'er Turkey animatronic in the Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland version of the attraction is actually a reused model of the Saddlesore Swanson animatronic character from the former "America Sings" which ran from 1974 to 1988, where the turkey from the attraction is seen during the "The Old Chisolm Trail" sequence in Act II of the attraction. After the attraction closed down in 1988, Splash Mountain opened in Disneyland in 1989, Saddlesore Swanson was placed in the "Everybody's Got a Laughing Place" sequence in Rainbow Hollow in the attraction.

Due to the success of the attraction at Disneyland, the Splash Mountain attraction was later constructed at Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland, the turkey animatronic from America Sings was replicated into the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland version of the attraction, converting the America Sings character into the Br'er Turkey character at the Splash Mountain attraction.

As of 2020, Splash Mountain was announced for closure in order to remove all references to Song of the South due to controversy surrounding the film which the attraction is based on to make way for a Princess and the Frog-themed attraction. Therefore, the turkey animatronic was removed for the new attraction, while the Oriental Land Company has not yet announced whether to retheme the Tokyo Disneyland version of Splash Mountain or not. The Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain permanently closed on January 23, 2023.

Appearances[]

Splash Mountain[]

In the Florida and Tokyo version of Splash Mountain, Br'er Turkey could be seen next to the Bass Frog at the "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" finale sequence where him and various other critters are seen welcoming Br'er Rabbit to his home after escaping from Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear who attempted to capture him but they failed to do so.
