Disney adds disclaimer about 'racist' content to 'Peter Pan,' other classics on streaming service

Disney is now putting disclaimers on some films in its streaming service — including such children's classics as "Peter Pan" and "Dumbo" — warning viewers that some scenes might include "negative depictions" and "mistreatment of people or cultures."

The films begin with the 12-second disclaimer that in part tells viewers: "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."

The warning, which cannot be skipped, also directs viewers to a website that explains some of the scenes, according to The New York Times.
