Disney have announced that they will have placed strengthened content advisory notices on classic films such as The Jungle Book and Peter Pan.
In a move to alert viewers of negative racial depictions, Disney confirmed that a number of classic films on its Disney+ service will contain warning notices.
Disney say the new notices have been put in place as part of its review of content in all of their films.
It is understood that subscribers of the service will now see the following message when they watch films such as Lady and the Tramp.
The message reads as follows: “This programme 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.”
It is understood that a number of movies including The Aristocats, Dumbo and The Swiss Family Robinson will contain the notice.
