Disney+ drops several movies from Kids profiles over negative depictions

Peter Pan, Dumbo and more are impacted.

Disney+ has removed several movies from Kids profiles over negative depictions, Disney has recently confirmed.

Films that will not be accessible from Kids profiles include Peter Pan, Dumbo, The Aristocats and Swiss Family Robinson.

Like episodes of the The Muppet Show, the films above will also carry a disclaimer that reads, “this program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. 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.”

The content remains accessible to adult Disney+ accounts.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
