Disney to Diminish Content Warnings Shown Before Classic Films
Briefly

Disney is set to downplay the content warnings for classic movies with racial stereotypes on its streaming service, changing the introductory autoplay message to a less visible disclaimer in the film details section. This shift is part of a broader strategy change within the company, which also includes modifications to how executive diversity efforts are evaluated. Instead of a Diversity and Inclusion metric, executives will now be rated on a new Talent Strategy performance factor, indicating a change in corporate priorities on these cultural issues.
Disney's decision to alter content warnings on films such as Dumbo and Peter Pan reflects a broader trend in how companies manage sensitivities on cultural issues.
The new disclaimer regarding negative depictions will no longer autoplay before films but instead be found in the details section, signaling a reduced visibility.
