Disney Plus has withdrawn some of its most popular movies from children's profiles due to what Disney describes as "negative depictions" of other cultures.

The move, which was picked up first by news outlet 1011 Now, means that kids will no longer be able to view classic films including Peter Pan and Dumbo. The Aristocats and live-action Swiss Family Robinson flicks have also been impacted by the decision.

Western World has gone mad...

[zhounan]

Western societies are committing suicide.

[whiteman]

woke at its deadliest

[Sujo]

Perhaps they should go out and play.

Over reaction to the controls. All that it means is that kids can only access with parental authorization. They cannot watch on their own. Is it such a bad thing that a parent  should see what child watches?

[tgw]

very, very disturbing at all levels.

our culture is offensive.

have Disney and organizations with similar bias become the cultural "enemy within" ?

entirely depends on what else they can watch without parental authorization.

I would bet they can still watch content where businessmen or policemen are stereotyped as "bad people".

cultural suicide. it's possible.

You didn't think that out very well. There are numerous reasons why children may not be able to 'go out and play' and only one of them is the Covid situation.

It is lucky that children no longer bother to read books - otherwise we would have to burn lots of books ....... bookburning in the 21st century is much easier

What are the reasons children are not able to play outside?

 

It is germs, swarms of perverts waiting to molest them, dangerous dogs, sharp things?

When my children were little, I bought them a set of small books by Helen Bannerman, beginning with Little Black Sambo.

I didn't expose them to racism, I exposed them to charming books filled with caricatures unrelated to any humans on the planet.

Now that six Dr. Seuss books have been banned for far less egregious representations, I think it might be hard to find any Helen Bannerman books.

There was a time when books were mostly filled with artfully-contrived words. These are now called 'chapter books'--think The Wonderful Wizard of Oz & Anne of Green Gables. In roughly the 1970s a trend developed so every children's book was filled with more illustrations than words.

Those Disney animated classics are wonderful. We are severely dumbing down succeeding generations to be woke robots.

How about weather conditions? Snow, heavy rain etc. Thunder and pouring rain but you want the children to go out and play. How about the children that can't go out and play through injury, illness. You going to forbid them watching cartoons etc.

These situations would be in the minority and I suspect you know it.

I was born before the internet and wokeness came along and remember what it was like before then. It's like having an out-of-body experience watching the world destroy itself via social media. Amazing.

[ravip]

TBH who came up with these 'correct' behaviour attitude?

I remember many nursery rhymes we used to recite as kids quite innocently, without an iota of malice, but now dare not even mention the titles!

I guess we reap what we sow - Sad, but true.

[tgw]

it's part of a culture to say other cultures are not as good as your own culture.

the Russians and the Chinese must be rolling on the floor laughing.

I'm pretty sure I got to see Disney films on my own ( back before tv ).

Cancel culture at its finest. I've cancelled the US  and its Orwellian quest to erase all history from its past. 

[cdemundo]

I saw a video where one of these Qanon believers was explaining how Pinnochio is all about child trafficking and child exploitation.  I guess you see what you look for.

These movies have not been totally removed......just removed from kids profiles......it puts the decision on what they can watch onto parents..........bearing in mind the lunatic, litigious nature of the USA probably a wise move.
