The content disclaimer — introduced in 2020 after consulting with groups including the African American Film Critics Association and the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment — will no longer automatically play on older titles on Disney’s streaming service, Disney Plus.
The current content advisory warns that the film includes “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.” It adds, “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.”
In “Peter Pan,” Native Americans are referred to by a racist slur, and in “Dumbo,” a group of crows is caricatured using racist Black stereotypes. One of the birds is named Jim Crow, the same name as the set of laws that enforced segregation.
