Appearances[]
Song of the South[]
Chick-A-Pin Hill appears in the film's animated sequences, where Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear are seen concocting their plans to catch Br'er Rabbit. As Br'er Fox discovers Br'er Rabbit hopping towards his lair from a distance, he tasks Br'er Bear to give him a mannequin made of tar, the Tar Baby, to trick him as part of his plans, to which Br'er Bear tells him that instead of using the same thing over and over again, he suggests him to capture him and eat him to which Br'er Fox denies, persuading him to stick to his plan. Br'er Fox continues designing the Tar Baby with help from Br'er Bear to which the two rush across the Briar Patch to trick him. Br'er Rabbit, however, suddenly ends up getting tricked as part of Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear's plans.
Later, Br'er Rabbit is shown to be held hostage by Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear as Br'er Fox has been planning to cook him so that Br'er Bear can eat him. Fearing that this is the end of him, Br'er Fox ties him up on a stick and upon hearing Br'er Fox's constant laughing, Br'er Fox threatens to have him roasted on the fire he made to which instead of screaming in fear, Br'er Rabbit suddenly laughs in excitement, much to Br'er Fox's annoyance. Br'er Rabbit tells him and Br'er Bear that he is looking for his "Laughing Place", to which Br'er Bear is curious to know where the "Laughing Place" is at. Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox argue with each other about what they should do to Br'er Rabbit, either have him become their dinner or make him show them his Laughing Place. Ultimately, Br'er Rabbit leads the two into the so-called "Laughing Place", which triggers a swarm of bees attacking the two and chasing the two away, to which Br'er Rabbit suddenly laughs in excitement.
Splash Mountain[]
Chick-A-Pin Hill serves as the titular mountain, with the flume ride through the world and story of Br'er Rabbit taking place around and inside the mountain. Br'er Fox's home specifically comes in during the climactic lift-hill to the top of the final drop, where Br'er Fox has tied up Br'er Rabbit, who pleads to not be thrown into the Briar Patch, leading to the big plunge.
A backstory explaining how Chick-A-Pin Hill became flooded can be seen in a "Rabbit Tales" newspaper story in the queue:
Towering up and above everything hereabouts is Splash Mountain. Used to be that once upon a time, when most of us were still critlins, Splash Mountain was called Chick-A-Pin Hill. But that was then and back before a moonshining raccoon named Rackety, made a slight, but potent error. While mixing an experimental batch of brew, his juice producing still ended up being blown sky high. Many who were there at the time speculated that it was an overabundance of blueberries that caused the disaster.
This was unfortunate, not only for Rackety, but for the industrious Beaver Brothers, who had only recently finished construction on their new dam. Unknown to the Beaver Brothers, Rackety had built his juice still in the woods that backed up to their dam at the high end of the foothills. When the still exploded, the beaver dam burst forth, and all the water is was holding back, flooded the thousands of burrows, holes and tunnels that crisscrossed the inside of Chick-A-Pin Hill. From that time on, all the critters round here couldn't help but call this place Splash Mountain.
