\"disney+<\/p>\n

Disney<\/strong> has had a long history of retrograde depictions of people of color in their classic animated films \u2014 an issue that the company has been grapp<\/a>ling with for decades. See: the saga of Disney\u2019s famously racist 1946 film\u00a0Song of the South<\/em>, which has been both promoted and hidden by the company at various intervals throughout the years.<\/p>\n

But unlike Disney\u2019s treatment of\u00a0Song of the South<\/em>, which Disney has made a concerted effort to make unavailable on home video and streaming, the House of Mouse is attempting to have a fuller conversation about the racist elements of its beloved classics like\u00a0Peter Pan<\/strong>, Dumbo<\/strong><\/em>, and\u00a0The Aristocats<\/em><\/strong>. The company is expanding is Disney+<\/strong> content warning to these three films, improving and enhancing its advisory label to include \u201cnegative depictions\u201d and deeper dives into the cultural context of the titles.<\/p>\n

Disney+ first introduced its warning label for classic films that contained \u201coutdated cultural depictions\u201d in 2019, adding warnings to films such as Dumbo<\/em> (1941), Lady and the Tramp<\/em> (1955), The Jungle Book<\/em> (1967), and The Aristocats<\/em>. The advisory label was met with some divided opinion, but it was a better move than just leaving out the films completely or cutting the dated scenes in question \u2014 which streamers like Netflix have done in order to avoid the \u201cdiscourse.\u201d This way, at least a conversation can be had about why these elements are troubling \u2014 and Disney+ is smartly looking to continue that conversation with an expanded content warning label.<\/p>\n

Here is the new, full text on the content warnings on Disney+ (via Collider<\/a>):<\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThe link at the end of the text takes you to a website that gives\u00a0deeper examinations of the cultural stereotypes that show up in classic Disney titles,\u00a0including\u00a0The Aristocats<\/em>,\u00a0Peter Pan<\/em>, and\u00a0Dumbo<\/em>, and explain the historical context and negative aspects of these depictions.\u00a0The page promises how Disney is planning to change representation in the future:<\/p>\n

\u201cStories shape how we see ourselves and everyone around us. So as storytellers, we have the power and responsibility to not only uplift and inspire, but also consciously, purposefully and relentlessly champion the spectrum of voices and perspectives in our world\u2026 We can\u2019t change the past, but we can acknowledge it, learn from it and move forward together to create a tomorrow that today can only dream of.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It also lists the social<\/a> justice groups Disney is working with on this new initiative, including The AAFCA, CAPE, Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, GLAAD Media Institute, IllumiNative, NALIP, RespectAbility, and more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s admirable that Disney is not trying to sweep these issues under the rug by including this expanded advisory warning, especially after the company has been in hot water for serious issues like the politically thorny production of\u00a0Mulan<\/em>. While it doesn\u2019t make up for all of the company\u2019s past issues, it\u2019s good to know that Disney is willing to have these conversations instead of painting over its past.<\/p>\n
