America's wokest company Disney makes major changes to classic films as it banishes DEI
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 12, 2025 | Joe Hutchison

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Sonia Coleman detailed the company's policy changes that removed previous alerts about scenes involving racial or outdated stereotypes.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.

IIRC, the roustabouts in Dumbo weren’t faceless black people, but faceless people. I don’t remember seeing any race.

Now, the crows, lol!

Did they permanently shelve the upcoming Snow White (Snow Brown) movie with that woke actress that hates men?

Does this mean that I’ll soon be able to get an uncut, uncensored copy of Song of the South on BluRay?

Stick a fork in the company. They are cooked and dead. Too late is right.

They’re only pretending to suddenly be un-woke because Universal’s Epic Universe is about to open, and it will decimate Disney World (Iger World) attendance. This is still a company that is planning to do idiotic things like destroy the iconic and beautiful Rivers of America and Frontierland (because the notion of the American frontier is “racist”) and replace it with a gaudy, IP-driven ride based on Cars. They’re also considering doing away with the Hall of Presidents and Liberty Square for similar reasons (“too patriotic”).

It’s equal parts heartbreaking and infuriating to see Walt’s amazing legacy taken over and perverted by literal demons.

Yes, too little, too late. Disney is dead to me and has been for a very very long time. I have no little children, but we even stopped taking our grandson over a decade ago. And we could get free passes because my BIL works there, has for 38 years.
