The removals are part of a larger effort by Disney to deal with its past

Last fall, The Walt Disney Company launched “Stories Matter,” a concerted effort by its various branches to reckon with the company’s history of racist stereotypes and negative depictions. “We can’t change the past,” reads the Stories Matter site, “but we can acknowledge it, learn from it and move forward together to create a tomorrow that today can only dream of.” With the launch of the campaign came the addition of content warnings on a number of Disney Plus streaming titles.

Now, Disney has taken another step forward in reshaping its own image for the next generation. This week, Disney Plus removed several titles that currently run with advisory descriptions from Kids profiles. The titles include Peter Pan, Aristocats, The Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, The Jungle Book, and the live-action Swiss Family Robinson.

pretty sure it has to do with how native American's were portrayed.

they are still available so not like much changed. (as if any modern kid actually uses the "kid profile." option or that this will some how stop parents from showing it to kids. my dad had me watch Jurassic park and terminator when i was 4-5)

it's basically just done for show

Disney, stop your flimsy censoring and start confronting and owning your terrible, racist past. Nothing is going to hide the fact that you've created Song of the South and those blackface centaurs in Fantasia. The curtain has been open for decades and generations know your errors.

At what age do you feel as though it's appropriate to teach your kid(s) about racism?

'Cause unless I'm missing something, this "censorship" only applies to children's accounts, not the entire platform or retail/physical releases.

Second or third grade should be appropriate to start, that's when history books in an elementary level start talking about racism.

As expected, SHITsney advocates for that FILTH but virtue signals the removal of minor details.
Dragon Ball. Only Dragon Ball matters. Everything that isn't Dragon Ball is moeshit. Everything that thinly pertains to or relates to Dragon Ball gets a pass, but is still moeshit.

What does this even mean that it's taken from kids profiles? They aren't allowed to watch it without parental approval or something? How does that work?

I figured as much; just jumping to conclusions, indulging in the mob mentality of "all censorship is bad" and getting into possible conspiracy theories without unironically taking a Helen Lovejoy approach and actually thinking about the children and how they can either understand or not understand what racism is, let alone being able to identify it overtly or subconsciously within those movies. It's a heavy topic where many people have different ideas on how to teach a younger generation about it, and Disney just seems to be erring on the side of caution; for their image and monetary value, sure, but possibly/hopefully for legitimate concerns for children as well.

That said, it's just a slight delay of the inevitable. Kids will eventually know about their past racism, including where to watch Song of The South (on Vimeo), Walt Disney hating Jewish people among other things, and they'll eventually know that 95% of their animated stories are fabrications of Grimm's Fairy Tales and be disillusioned towards the phrase "and they lived happily ever after"; all at an accelerated rate compared to people my age and older because of the internet.

disney plus allows parents to make kid profile that only lets them watch G rated films.

they just moved a few films from kids profile you can still watch them with a normal acc, but kids can't watch it on there own. this mostly only will affect 1-10 year old most kids who are around 14+ at this age know how to switch profiles. like i said it was done for appetence nothing else.

Parents have been left dumbfounded after trying to watch the films on Disney’s £5.99-per-month service. One said: ‘I wanted to watch Peter Pan with my daughter, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.

‘Then I realised they had all gone – they had been removed from the kids’ accounts. It was shocking.’

drama queen. it's still there.

and just turn off kid profile and switch to normal. It doesn't cost a cent. to make profiles.

here's how easy it is you click profile button you click add new profile.
this screen pops up

your done.

unless you are completely computer inept and can't even login to your own computer there is literally nothing stopping you from doing that.
it's amazing how much fake outrage the "anti sjws" are literally act more like sjw's then sjw's these days i swear.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-mail/ daily mail is also not know for being accurate at all.

so my question is are you going to trust a notoriously bad news site that has a low fact reporting rate over some one who OWNs a subscription to disney plus if you want to do that go for it, but it proves peoples point about trump supporters being delusional all i am saying.

bruh it's not even censorship ANYONE can make profiles on Disney plus
even your kid can make a non kid profile while you are not looking it's literally the most pointless feature in the first place made to appease helicopter parents who probably wouldn't even let them watch anything alone in the first place.

if it's still available and easy access It an't censorship now is it?

It's about time, honestly. Every all-white voiced Disney movie needs to be taken down and reimagined to incorporate BIPOC and LGBTQA2+ individuals. Our society is deeply plagued by the colonial white supremacist patriarchal sins of our past, and in order to right this wrong and give way to a more diverse and inclusive future for the Western world, we must eliminate monocultural and monoethnic values and art from Europe and her "colonies" (AKA STOLEN LAND). The future is brown, queer, and beautiful, sweetie.

An excellent choice! They thought that the world is a bit angry after the whole Mulan debacle and the Uighur concentration camps. Yes, directly supporting the mass genocide of an ethnic minority may sound terrible, but removing those ever so racist titles makes up for everything.

I may even start going to Disneyland again once my social credit score gets high enough.

yes nothing was actually taken down and anyone can switch off the kids profile feature.

The OP also mentions Aladdin and the Aristocats too, I wonder how those are offensive and racist.
I don't see the issue if it can prevent kids from watching Disney all day...
The problem is that they delisted their greatest movies from the kid's options, but the modern Disney dung remains visible.
