NATIONWIDE – Disney recently launched its new streaming service Disney+ in the U.S.
And while many are talking about all the new shows and movies they can watch, others are taking a closer look at the company's classic offerings.
Disney's classic movies like Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, Peter Pan and The Jungle Book now come with disclaimers, warning users of "outdated cultural depictions."
The disclaimer is included in the plot description for the films. It reads: "This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions."
Older Disney films have been criticized for featuring racial stereotypes like the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp, the Native American characters in Peter Pan, and the crows in Dumbo.
One controversial film users won't find on Disney+ is "Song of the South," the 1946 film that has been criticized for its depictions of African Americans.
Disney+ officially launched Tuesday to great fanfare, but it was not without its problems. Some users reported login issues while other said they had trouble accessing certain content.

It’s better than censorship. And I’m OK with a message to parents that a very innocent, child-oriented film nonetheless requires a little parental guidance.
Does DisneyGLBT+ put disclaimers on programs with implied and flaming faggotry?
“Perverse sex personas depicted”
If they are outdated bury them in the vault with Song of the South.
Stop collecting coins on the backs of self-identified “racist” works.
Song of the South was released officially to home video in Ireland, China, and Japan decades ago.
Disney International must not have gotten the memo.
Next they’ll be telling us that animals can’t talk.
Just pathetic. Shame on you Disney!
Meanwhile Disney smiles and makes deals with Communist Chinese thugs who openly run concentration camps and kill people in Hong Kong. They have taken delusion and fantasy to a new level.
All on board the PC crap train ! More concerned with offending ethnic groups, but their ABC owned station protects pedophile Epstien and womanizer weinstien. Walt is on a continuous high speed rotation in his grave
I remember watching Dumbo with my kids and thinking, “Boy, they would never make this today.”
My kids had no clue. Without all of the other “cultural” influences around it, they were just crows.
If they release the DVD it will probably sell like hot cakes because who doesn't want to see what the fuss is?
I agree 100%!
They still have to have a programming base much larger and better than Netflix. Netflix programming is just awful now and after “The Irishman” comes out and I get a chance to watch it I’m dumping Netflix.
It’s not better than censorship and be prepared for them to start changing and removing the movies. Because that’s going to happen next.
Hey, does this mean they’ll release Song of the South in America?
OF COURSE NOT!
