(WPDE) — Disney+ has removed several movies from children's profiles on its service due to negative stereotypes.
ADVERTISEMENT The Walt Disney Company previously showed content warnings on the films for “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people and cultures” in October but has now removed access to the films for children under 7.
Adults can still view the movies on their Disney+ accounts with the content warnings.
Some of what Disney has said about each of the movies at the "Stories Matter" section include:
“Dumbo” (1941): “The crows and musical number pay homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations. The leader of the group in Dumbo is Jim Crow, which shares the name of laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.” “Peter Pan” (1953): “The film portrays Native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions. It shows them speaking in an unintelligible language and repeatedly refers to them as ‘redskins,’ an offensive term. Peter and the Lost Boys engage in dancing, wearing headdresses and other exaggerated tropes.” “Swiss Family Robinson” (1960): “The pirates who antagonize the Robinson family are portrayed as a stereotypical foreign menace. Many appear in ‘yellow face’ or ‘brown face’ and are costumed in an exaggerated and inaccurate manner with top knot hairstyles, queues, robes and overdone facial make-up and jewelry, reinforcing their barbarism and ‘otherness.’” “The Aristocats” (1970): “The (Siamese) cat (Shun Gon) is depicted as a racist caricature of East Asian peoples with exaggerated stereotypical traits such as slanted eyes and buck teeth. He sings in poorly accented English voiced by a white actor and plays the piano with chopsticks.” The content warning displays on the films says:
“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”
Watching Dumbo is harmful to children but having them chemically and surgically altered is considered good and healthy. I really doubt this culture is salvageable.
Me know How. Me want Chance!
This is the type of stuff that bothers people in Hollywood today, but they believe putting pornography in mainstream programming is appropriate, which degrades humanity entirely.
I dont have a disney plus account so I have no dog in this fight to be honest, but glad I do not have one, cause I would have cancelled it about now.
CARTMAN A modern day warrior today's Tom Sawyer He floated down a river on a raft with a black guy
KYLE: Those aren't the words!
CARTMAN: Yes they are! Tom Sawyer built a raft and floated it down river with a black guy! I READ the book!
KYLE: That was "Huckleberry Finn," fatass!
CARTMAN: I'm Geddy Lee, and I'll sing whatever lyrics I want!
STAN: Look, let's just start over, and sing the right words this time, Cartman!
Everything is on their list of things that offend them, including you and me.
Excellent. Up to date, along with Atlas Shrugged. Today’s reality in America.
In the new woke Disney, Dumbo is transgendered and wears a pink tutu.
It’s easy to cast judgements on those who lived in different times with different cultural contexts. So easy that liberals find it impossible to resist.
My name is Jim...I am offended that they named a slave “Jim”...s/
Have you read Ayn Rand’s book “Anthem”????
It also is very, very good...
Very difficult. Even for one of Polish ancestry as myself, it’s difficult because your relatives had to still be in Poland when Poland regained independence in 1918, or after.
As far as I know, they don’t have a “Golden Visa”, like Spain and Portugal.
Remember Amos and Andy? It was a great show. They got rid of it for the very same reason as the Dumbo crows.
What they are really doing is removing any representation of blacks. What does that say about this element bent on making things right?
I am really tired of this crap. Next thing you know they are going to remove Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America."
This Counter Culture has gone WAY too far.
No. Once they go after Star Wars then you know they have gone tto far,
Jawas are depicted as thieves and they are black since all you can see are their eyes.
Sandpeople (obviously arab depiction) are murders
Ewoks are midgets too stupid to advance their primative culture (think pygmies)
Of course no one talks about Mickey Mouse’s color. Or that Donald Duck is white. And the speciesism between Goofy and Pluto-Goofy walks on 2 legs, Pluto is on four legs and often on a leash.
Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder in "Silver Streak" is on the chopping block..................
Re: the thieves - change the ‘a’s to ‘e’s, and remove the second one, make a meme, send it to Dizzy, and the twit/whateververse for all the world to see.
Let them have a taste of their own medicine.
With no spoonful of sugar.
