News summary

Disney World has removed the character Liver Lips McGrowl from the Country Bear Jamboree attraction over concerns that his name is offensive to alcoholics and Black people. The term 'liver lips' is associated with excessive alcohol consumption and has been used as a racial slur against African Americans. This change is part of Disney's broader initiative to address and rectify culturally insensitive elements within its attractions. Liver Lips McGrowl has been replaced by Romeo McGrowl, who retains a similar appearance but with a more inclusive name. The revamped show, now called the 'Country Bear Musical Jamboree,' features a new script and musical numbers, reflecting Disney's commitment to creating a more welcoming environment.
