The Aristocats featured a similarly negative Asian stereotype with a scene featuring a Siamese cat. IGN’s Jim Vejvoda noted that while the remake was enjoyable enough, its more colorblind use of the same time period left some problematic elements on the table, which you can read about in our review. Notably, the 2019 live-action remake turned the cats into a pair named Devon and Rex, voiced by two black musicians. The cats also feature large buck teeth, a common Asian stereotype from that era. The original Lady and the Tramp film infamously depicts a pair of Siamese cats taunting Lady via a song, using exaggerated Asian accents and deliberately butchered English. With a white actor voicing the crow, some, like the Washington Post, have called it the vocal equivalent of blackface.

Dumbo has been criticized in the past for depicting a group of wise-cracking crows using African-American stereotypes of the time. The warning understandably stems from some of the racial stereotypes Disney has employed in certain characters and scenes in its earlier films. Aladdin never had a content warning until now, but the edited version has always been on Disney+. To learn more about how stories have impacted society visit: Although Disney posted this message in front of the original Aladdin, the version on Disney+ has still removed the "cut off your ear" line from the opening song and Aladdin's mumbling on the balcony. Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe. 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. "These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. "This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures," the statement reads. UPDATE: Disney has updated their content warning on Disney+ to an unskippable, 12-second message in front of controversial movies or shorts.
