The Disney + platform will contain a warning about racist connotations that subscribers will be able to see when playing several of its classics, as "Peter Pan" (1953), “Dumbo” (1951) or "The Jungle Book" (1967).

"This program includes negative representations and / or mistreatment of people or cultures", reads the new message that can be seen as well as heard when you start viewing, according to US specialized media.

The measure is the result of consultations with an independent council that includes groups such as the Association of African American Film Critics., the Coalition of Asians Pacific and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

The Disney platform, that will arrive in Latin America on 17 of November, already had since its launch in 2019 messages that warned about "outdated cultural representations", but the new measure goes a step further in the search to adjust to the claims - in some historical cases- of different minorities who pointed out the samples of racial and cultural insensitivity in their films.

“These stereotypes were wrong then and they are wrong now. Instead of removing the content, we want to make known about its harmful impact, learn from him and ignite the 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 planet. ", said the company on its own website that seeks to generate social awareness called Stories Matter (storiesmatter.thewaltdisneycompany.com).
