Disney+ blocks under-sevens from watching 'racist' Peter Pan, Dumbo and The Aristocats for breaching 'content advisories'
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 23, 2020 | Katie Hind

Generations of children have been charmed by the magical tale of the boy who never grew up, but Peter Pan is now on a list of banned movies.

Bosses at Disney have blocked anyone under the age of seven from watching the 1953 animated classic on its streaming service over concerns that it portrays racial stereotypes, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Three other long-standing family favourites – The Aristocats, Swiss Family Robinson and Dumbo – have also been removed from children’s accounts for breaching ‘content advisories’ that were recently put in place.

Good gawd. I loved Dumbo and The Aristocats as a kid. So children under 7 are denied one of the most moving scenes of a mother's love for a son because somehow Dumbo is "racist". How is it "racist" when the crows are good guys who take Dumbo in?

Problem solved.

So I guess Song of the South is a no-no too? Old Yeller?
Because its offensive to southerners? Making fun of Southern accents?

Asking for a friend...

That movie has been put in a vault in a basement at Disney for many years. It is as if the movie never existed.

What is really occurring here, under the pretext of ‘racism,’ is the deconstruction and cancelation of our traditional culture. Soon, every statue, carving, movie, flag, etc. that holds the memory of our traditional culture will disappear. In back of the cancelation are the architects of the rising New World Order: Planetary Overlords and their managers, Ruling Classes.

I so recall seeing it at the movies when I was a kid.

And reading the Tar Baby to my kids out of the big book of Disney stories that used to be around.

My kids have never really watched Disney movies. Unless you are counting the Star Wars or Marvel films as Disney. Regardless, yet more censorship is very annoying and disgusting. I guess too many other Americans want to be hand held like adult babies. We really have lost that American moxie of free spirit and boldness in favor of trigger warnings and safe spaces.

The Peter Pan ride ate Walt Disney World is pretty popular. Are they going to modify or shut it down?

Get your favorite movies on DVD now and a backup DVD player. They’re cheap enough. I figured a few years ago they would come after the Aristocats so I grabbed that one. Also Blazing Saddles!

We got Disney+ free for a while after we got new phones. We cancelled before the free part ran out. They will charge you if you don’t cancel.

This is all part of the Global Reset, in which I would rather keel over and die before being controlled by international bureaucrats.

Even when it came out, Walt caught holy hell from civil rights leaders on the sterotypes. Disney could never figure out why.

Song of the South was about a wise and kind Negro gentleman dispensing wisdom to children, in an entertaining format.

He was not the grievance-monger which the modern "Civil Rights Movement" (tm) demands.

Instead, he was a hero and beloved by all... well, maybe not B'rer Bear and B'rer Fox>

"Please don't throw me in dat brier patch!" conveys so much in such a short plea!
