If you want to show your offspring the cartoon hits from Disney, you can no longer call up all the films via the Disney + children's profiles.
That is why they were removed.
Disney
's classic
cartoons are
part of the standard program for children
in countless households
.
Films like
“Aladdin”
,
“Sleeping Beauty”
or
“Snow White” are
known not only to the youngest among us, because earlier generations also watched them.
However, that does not mean that these works represent a perfect world.
On the contrary: With regard to the current debates about racism, Disney * also found questionable representations in individual cartoon works.
Therefore, the group has now taken the consequences and blocked several films.
These are no longer available for children, but only with a warning for adults.
Disney + is making Dumbo, Peter Pan and Aristocats inaccessible to children
Similar to
Netflix
, Disney + offers its users the option of creating separate profiles for children.
If you are afraid that the next generation will access inappropriate content, you can limit the offer to child-friendly content.
Most recently, the streaming service took a closer look at the selection for younger users.
The result:
“Peter Pan”
,
“Dumbo”
,
“Aristocats”
and
“The Swiss Robinson”
were banned from children.
Disney has been labeling these films with warning notices for a long time.
According to several media reports, it could be inferred from these that individual scenes contain “negative representations and / or abuse of people or cultures”.
The lettering does not seem to be enough, which is why the streaming service resorted to more drastic means.
If you still want to see the films in question, you can access them via an adult's profile.
They are still available there, including warnings.

Disney Movies "Peter Pan", "Dumbo" and "Aristocats": That's Why They Are Racist
With this measure,
Disney
wants
to stimulate discussions on the topics of racism and discrimination in order to sensitize younger generations and give them a healthy worldview.
To do this, it is necessary to know which scenes are problematic in the films mentioned:
"Peter Pan" contains
a stereotypical representation of the native peoples of America.
In addition, they experience ridicule from the main character Peter Pan.
In
"Dumbo"
the ravens are a caricature of the black population in the USA.
“Aristocats”,
on the other hand, makes fun of East Asian cultures that are cast in a bad light by the Siamese cat Shun Gon.
He speaks with an accent and uses chopsticks as drumsticks.
