Because they were hoping that once Daryl Hannah's 15 minutes were up she'd be willing to live in the ride as a permanent human animatronic?
The thing about Splash Mountain and Song of the South is pretty much all of the controversy surrounding the movie (and while it is valid controversy it also shouldn't prevent re-release of the movie so long as Holiday Inn plays on TV every year) is due to the live action portions and not the animated portions. The ride includes nothing from the live actions segments of the movie.
Even if they won't release the whole movie I would love to see them at least release the animation.
