Disney is U-turning on its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and restoring some of its classic films to their former glory on its streaming platform Disney+.
In a note sent to employees on Tuesday, obtained by Axios, Chief Human Resources Officer Sonia Coleman detailed the company's policy changes that removed previous alerts about scenes involving racial or outdated stereotypes.
Disclaimers had been put on older titles like Dumbo and Peter Pan, which warned viewers of 'negative depictions and/or mistreatment of peoples or cultures'.
Now, a new, updated advisory will read: 'This program is presented as originally created and may contain stereotypes or negative depictions', according to the outlet.
Peter Pan's disclaimer was due to the movie featuring a Native American tribe whose members are referred to as 'redskins'.
Dumbo, the 1941 cartoon about a lovable flying elephant, was accused of ridiculing enslaved African-Americans on Southern plantations.
At one point during a musical interlude, faceless black workers toil away to offensive lyrics such as, 'When we get our pay, we throw our money all away'.
Disney will also now replace their diversity and inclusion factor that is used to evaluate executive compensation with a new 'talent strategy', according to Coleman.

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We’re Grooming Your Children: Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.
Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual propaganda — now they’re bragging about it.
On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.
One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and efforts at “adding queerness to” children’s programming, in leaked audio published by investigative journalist Chris Rufo on Tuesday.
“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness … No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”

“Zippity Doo Dah,...”
“My, oh my, what a wonderful financial year...”
“Plenty of clouds coming my way...”
Will they bring back that wonderful movie, “Song of the South”?
“Peter Pan’s disclaimer was due to the movie featuring a Native American tribe whose members are referred to as ‘redskins’.”
Did Disney print disclaimers on Redskins tickets (before Commodores or whatever they are called).
Song of the South.
It was one of my favorite childhood movies.
I had to download a pirate copy of it to show my son since Disney stopped releasing it in the 70s or 80s. The quality wasn’t too bad, considering where I got it from.
All I can say is that I had a GREAT upbringing in the 50s.
I try in my small [available] way to get my grandkids to come somewhat close to same.
“Talent strategy”. Yeah.
“Disney brings ‘Pride’ to Seattle Men’s Chorus”
There’s a rumor around the Seattle choral community that some of the members of the Seattle Men’s Chorus are ...
... STRAIGHT!!!
I’ll believe it when they reintroduce
“Song of the South” from 1946.
You know, they could have the "Evil Queen" be the hero and Pumpkin Spice be the villain.
That would at least be funny.
WAY to late. Disney’s toast.
One of the stories in the Nero Wolfe series “Too Many Cooks” takes place at an estate on Long Island (iirc) and a major part of the plot involves the kitchen and wait staff, who are all Black men. Think this book is one of the earliest ones, so it would have been written in the late 30s or early 40s. There’s some pretty offensive terms used, and very out of date ones, so much so that I was a bit confused when I was reading it, but I finally caught on to things like “smoke” being slang for a black guy.
But I was puzzled enough about it to ask my mom if I had it all right and did people really talk that way. What has made this all stay in my mind was her reaction. My mom was very smart, really an intellectual. But in this case she got a far-away look on her face, and all she said was “there’s been a great change”.
It was then I understood that you must never change books, movies, etc. You mustn’t “update” them, or we’ll never understand the great changes that have occurred.
Of course, this is all laid on a bit thick in the story, so we can admire Wolfe all the more for treating these fellows with the respect they indeed deserved.
Song of the South is so far back in the vault they’d have to send in an expedition team to recover it. I loved that movie.
I asked what did LGBQT+ meant and I never did get a straight answer.
They took Song of the South and put it in the vault because of it’s racist stuff, yet the actor who played Uncle Remus was given a Special Academy Award for his performance in the film about 1948.
First male black actor to win an Oscar.
Does this mean they will bring back Song of the South? 🤡
I’m tired of all the Disney characters of my youth who have been working on their tans for the dumbass remakes while I was working my ass off. When does Pinnochio and Jiminy Cricket get their shot at black face? And when will Uncle Remus be played by a white guy?
Only if Uncle Remus is played by a black actor.
