Disney Plus warns of 'outdated cultural depictions' in some films

Disney's much-anticipated streaming service has tacked warnings onto the beginnings of some movies indicating that they might include racist or otherwise offensive elements – a move that experts say begins to address the problem but fails to go far enough.on Disney Plus says the movie is shown as it originally was made and "may contain outdated cultural depictions.

"They are accounting for the fact that, 'yes, this is the company that we once were, but we're moving in a new direction'," Davé said. "It's a safe way of saying they understand the moment in which their company exists and in which we are in now." Representatives for Walt Disney Co. did not respond to a request for comment on why the company decided to add content warnings and how their language was chosen.Walt Disney, who co-founded the Walt Disney Company with his brother Roy Disney, has been called racist and misogynistic, although his biographer and other supporters have disputed that representation.

Producing live-action versions of classic films has given Disney a chance to revise parts of movies that have been deemed insensitive. In the new live-action remake ofthat debuted on Disney Plus, the Siamese cats that depict Asian stereotypes in the original movie are not portrayed as Siamese.

Would you PC dimwits just bugger off. Get back to the kindergarten that spawned your type.

Like the 'huge' cigarette package beside the shrunk kids in that movie.

All LiberalAus paraphernalia should contain a similar message that should read “outdated cultural expectations and grafting”.

Ohhh poor offended bigots leave the classics alone

Oh dear... brace yourselves for the new age Dumbo... dressed in a g string , waving dildos and rainbow flags singing ‘ love is love’, and crying about toxic masculinity... 🙄🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ never has the name ‘Dumbo’ been more fitting!

But no Song of the South...

Who cares. If you don’t like it don’t watch it

How woke of them

Cancel culture will erase it all eventually.

who gives a shit

The triggered PC crowd at it again. Is nothing sacred? I wish these people would just fk off and stop trying to change everything to suit their own agenda

Good! Leave it as original as possible! Fck political correctness!

Up next, blazing saddles followed by love thy neighbour.

Like all fairy tales.

No thanks Disney... I care about Aussie Kids?🤔

We want to see more
