Veteran Disney World character Liver Lips McGrowl is no more. He has been unceremoniously renamed after 50 years of service because his original moniker was deemed “insensitive and outdated” — and could offend the delicate sensibilities of alcoholics.
Liver Lips McGrowl is one of the 18 animatronic bears of the “Country Bear Jamboree” at Magic Kingdom and has now been hastened to the exit as Disney continues its “woke” agenda before allowing the character’s return with a new name.
Loyal fans and those who have longed to make his acquaintance will now be disappointed because the bear not be making his grand return alongside the other robotic mammals when the attraction reopens Wednesday after a seven-month break, the New York Post reports.
“Liver lips,” which is considered derogatory and offensive, is associated with alcohol abuse and the damage it does to the liver, Disney blog Inside the Magic claimed.
