Don’t Give Disney a Pat on the Back for Doing the Bare Minimum

Last week, Disney+ removed the films Peter Pan, Swiss Family Robinson, Aristocats and Dumbo from their children’s profiles, only making them available to patrons 7 years and up, with a disclaimer appearing before the film starts. Racist depictions of Black, Indigenous and Asian persons is what prompted the action- the disclaimer reading:

“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.”
