I guess they will also be tearing down the Splash Mountains in Disney parks. Not.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Then he should tear down splash mountain and not show Dumbo or The Jungle Book anymore either.
As well as any Civil War film with black actors and black actresses.
Morons denying history.
Offending people of the Left does us all good. Them thinking they shouldn’t be offended, when coddled, only makes them worse subsequently.
I got Disney+ free for a year from Verizon. I watched a few movies, tried some of the “documentaries” (ugh). Now I’m done with it. Meh...
I haven’t seen the movie in many years, but, as I recall, the uncle Remus character was a positive guiding influence on the little boy, and was not an insulting stereotype of black people.
If certain people had their way, virtually all TV and movies from before the year 2000 would be censored for the crime against humanity of alleged outdated cultural depictions and stereotypes.
And the irony is that those who want to censor what you and I see claim to be liberal and tolerant and open minded.
Isn’t Iger a homosexual?
I see, yes there is that awful scene of a Christian Baptism
that could warp young minds fo’ Sho! ; P
Sorry to offend, but I loved that movie as a kid. “Zippity-do-dah, zippity yea, my o my what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine...”
BTW, I have a bootleg DVD of it. I found it to be over-rated and kinda boring.
I got a copy from Japan where it was released into public domain. Showed to my woman and my daughter, both of whom had always heard it was pretty racist.
They were amazed and mad that they had been lied to. It is a very softhearted show, the story is good, and the black characters were universally decent, god fearing and kind. Black and white kids ran around playing together. And at the moment of high drama where a little white boy was on his death bed after an accident, everyone was praying, Uncle Remus came up and his stories woke the kid up.

This movie is an inkblot test. If you see racism, you are the A-hole.
For those who haven’t seen it. Every back person in the film is of the highest moral character, brimming with innate decency.
The revolutionary socialists SJW problem with it is that blacks aren’t being beaten, the old woman plantation owner is a kind old white lady. And everyone seems to get along.
I can still hear my father reading that to me
Poor man
Every night, just about
Robin Hood is even more outdated culturally. Will they not stream that either?
Guess Dumbo’s out too!
“...secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy... censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him” John Lyle in Revolt in 2100 by Robert A. Heinlein
As a fan of classic movies I'd like to see it and as a fan of free speech I'm pretty sure the stereotypes wouldn't contaminate me. But, if I were a Disney stockholder or executive I'd say no, not in this environment.
I have a copy of SotS on DVD. Had to order it from Europe.
