Disney+ removed several movies, including Dumbo and Peter Pan, from children's profiles over stereotypes deemed offensive.

The move comes after Disney placed warnings on certain children's movies for “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people and cultures.”

Children under the age of 7 will now no longer be able to watch the movies, including Swiss Family Robinson and The Aristocats. Adults with Disney+ accounts will still be able to watch the movies.
