Disney says some of the offerings on its new streaming service may contain tobacco use and problematic representations

A Disney logo forms part of a menu for the Disney Plus movie and entertainment streaming service on a computer screen in Walpole, Mass., Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019. TORONTO -- Disney Plus is warning subscribers that some of Walt Disney's most beloved classics might contain "outdated cultural depictions."

Numerous titles from Disney's extensive library carry the warning, among them "Peter Pan," a 1953 film long criticized for its stereotypical depiction of Indigenous people, and "The Aristocats," a 1970 production which features a Siamese cat playing piano with chopsticks.

It’s a sign of dark times that a message such as that even needs to be said. People need to stop being butthurt about every single little thing.

You mean the time when the media & our educational institutions didn't control what is considered to be social correctness.

Here’s a thought; if you don’t like what you are watching, change the channel!!!!

How about 'Some content accurately depicts life at the time the content was produced.' It has gone past the point of ridiculous. T+E network in Canada has a disclaimer before X-Files episodes that claim they contain sexual and violent content. Idiots.
