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.
Parents have been left dumbfounded after trying to watch the films on Disney’s £5.99-per-month service. One said: ‘I wanted to watch Peter Pan with my daughter, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.

OMG! That is the most racist thing I’ve ever seen!
Those lyrics! For shame!
I have a different technical question...
When did Disney get a 7 year old detector?
DUMP DISNEY! very simple
Disney:
No to Peter Pan
Yes to Peter Breath...
I have the original unedited version on VHS. It's probably no good now, but I have it.
My Song of the South was lost in a boating accident.
Good idea.
Exactly...
“Song of the South”
Last time I ever saw it re-released to theaters was around 1971.
Fantasia was also re-released about the same time. I remember one family (man woman child) the woman was HORRIFIED, probably at the naked centaur girls in the movie. I overheard her say “THIS IS TERRIBLE! Well! I at least hope they at least show a cartoon!”
Organizations fail. Massive organizations fail massively.
They would allow kids to hear “The Aristocrats” joke before allowing them to watch “The Artistocats”.
“It’s a family act...”
The Aristocrats
This should NOT BE WATCHED or HEARD by Anyone.

Gilbert Gottfried is the King of the Aristocats joke.
And yes I echo your warning, do not click on that link!
Maybe I should explain for those who have no idea what we’re talking about.
“The Aristocrats” is a “joke” that comedians often tell while auditioning.
The premise of the “joke” is this.
Guy goes to an agent and tells him, “Boy do I have an act for you!”
The agent asks him, “Tell me something about this act.”
Then the guy usually starts out with, “It’s a family act!”...and then for about two minutes proceeds to describe the most disgusting things that come to mind.
Well after that, all the agent can say is, “Well, what’s the name of this act?”......and the guy responds with, usually snapping his fingers...”The Aristocrats!”
Actually, It’s more than that.
It was an exercise, a test conceived by Penn Jellet to explore the limits of censorship.
A clean discussion of the “Joke”

Disnazis.
Peter Pan?! Really?
Disney is basically in the business of distracting people.
Maybe we should stop being distracted.

The entire industry (film, music, sports, television, non-news radio, games, fiction books, casinos, travel ) is designed to distract people.
Should we all give it up and live like a lifeless automaton?
You must have a boring, dull gray life.
