The Walt Disney Co. reportedly labelled beloved animated characters including Tinker Bell and Captain Hook from the 1953 movie Peter Pan as “potentially problematic” as it was preparing to launch the Disney+ streaming service, noting the characters could necessitate a disclaimer for perpetuating negative stereotypes.
Ursula from the 1989 movie The Little Mermaid also raised concerns of racism and homophobia.
Disney began an extensive review of its film library as it prepared to introduce the streaming service in 2019, according to a New York Times report. As part of the initiative, called Stories Matter, Disney added disclaimers to classic movies for containing “negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures.”
The Stories Matter team privately flagged certain characters as potentially problematic, with the findings distributed to senior Disney leaders, two current Disney executive told the Times.
One of them was Tinker Bell, who raised concern because she is “body conscious” and jealous of Peter Pan’s attention, according to the executives. Captain Hook was another potential liability because he could expose Disney to accusations of discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities because he is a villain.
Disney also flagged Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, saying her dark complexion could be construed as racist and her flamboyant mannerisms could come across as “queer coded,” or homophobic.

They should have a reset and a bake off between traditional Disney themes and icons versus a new Entertainment company that restricts its offerings to requiring Netflix level societal and family manipulation for requiring sexually deviant characters per movie, unnatural, and statistically unlikely for matchups in romance, with an overall theme that it’s time to celebrate because we’re tearing down everything Americans loved and America itself especially.
The consumer probably would not pick the monstrous trash over the adorable, funny, magical ideas of Walt and company.
I’m sure they bundle that crap in with the good stuff just to get it in front of their grooming targets.
Good Lord. These people need to get a life
Those editors lead sad lives.
I want to be a pilgrim on a new voyage to freedom.
Hell the mama bears already angry, they’re just giving them one more thing to rake their claws at. This is not going to end well but we can all say Disney as we knew it has been dead for some time now. And the lefty elite is fine with that. Same way they feel about America.
That does it. I just ordered Song of the South.
When Disney started this crap, the parents and grand-parents we know have sworn off anything Disney.
Oh my goodness the insanity from these crazy people never stops.

"dark complexion"??? Her skin is PURPLE! For crying out loud.
Nutcases.
And buy them used off Ebay or something like that.
Not problematic is Groomerland and Groomerworld: The perpetually prepubescent Lost Boys from Peter Pan.
Disney is truly a sick company, catering to a vocal extremists

I wonder if that awful movie with Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts will present that sort of an issue.
They are trying to obliterate the difference between right and wrong—by calling things wrong that aren’t wrong, among other tactics.
Obambi seems OK with the pirates
Just keep and eye out for him.
That guy looks like the Ghoul
Waiting for his side of beef or a whole hog.
Saw it many times as a kid. Last time I saw it was as an adult maybe 20 years ago. Love that movie.
