Many Disney Movies From Your Childhood Now Have Content Warnings. Here's Why.

Many Disney films that may have been a childhood staple for many are exactly what parents today preventing their kids from viewing.

Several Disney films now have content warnings and should not be shown to kids.

Two years ago in 2021, Disney+ had placed restrictions on some of their movies including Dumbo, Peter Pan, Swiss Family Robinson, and The Aristocats.

The restrictions were set in place in order to prevent children who are under the age of seven from watcing these films on their own account.

Disney’s restrictions on many of their older movies comes from a campaign that was created and designed to review the films and release the appropriate advisories.

Multiple Disney’s films have been flagged for racist depictions, outdated stereotypes, etc.

Therefore, if you do happen to open one of the movies that have a content warning, you’ll see the following message before the movie begins.

“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures,” the warning reads. “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”
