“Peter Pan,” and the “Swiss Family Robinson,” were axed, meanwhile, for their negative portrayals of native Americans and foreigners, respectively. “The leader of the group in Dumbo is Jim Crow, which shares the name of laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States,” per the site. They cited “Dumbo’s” (1941) infamous singing crows, which “pay homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations.” Disney cites the racist portrayals of the crows in “Dumbo” (1941) as a reason for removing the flick from kids’ profiles. Disney+ explained its rationale behind each film’s removal five months ago in conjunction with the launch of the kid-focused Stories Matter section of their website, explaining that the Kids Profile was a different user experience intended for a younger audience - which might not be of reading age or able to understand the advisory. Per the initiative, children under 7 will be forbidden from watching “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan” “Swiss Family Robinson” and the “The Aristocats.” Settings on the app now prevent the movies from even showing up on the young viewers’ profiles.Īlthough just now garnering attention from industry media outlets amid “cancel culture” buzz, the change was actually made in October 2020.
