Streaming service Disney+ has blocked children under seven from watching several films with characters based on racist stereotypes.
Peter Pan (1953), Dumbo (1941), Swiss Family Robinson (1960) and The Aristocats (1970) have all been removed from the children's section, so they can only be watched with parental consent.
In the past, Disney+ has included warnings on several films due to offensive material.
Peter Pan features the portrayal of a Native American tribe called "redskins".

Dumbo includes a scene with Jim Crow who is portrayed as an offensive African American stereotype.
The Aristocats features a Siamese cats with offensive stereotypical facial features and East Asian accent. They also sing a song in the stereotypical accent.
Swiss Family Robinson contains "yellow face" and "brown face" pirates.
According to The Hill, some disclaimers have been shown on classic titles too, warning that there is content some may find offensive.

The disclaimer notes on the films that: "It may contain outdated cultural depictions."
We reported in October that the first movies to be included in the disclaimer - stating, "this program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions" - were The Aristocats, Fantasia and Lady and the Tramp.

But the channel has now changed its warning on films including Peter Pan, The Jungle Book and Dumbo too after members of the public accused Disney of trying to 'gloss over' the true impact of racism embedded in its films.
The new warning reads: "This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures."
Some films, such as Song of the South, are also not available to stream on Disney+ at all because of racism concerns.
The film follows a young white boy going to live on his grandfather's plantation following the American Civil War and befriending an African-American man named Uncle Remus. The character has been widely recognised and condemned for its offensive racists stereotypes.

According to The Guardian, Disney CEO Bob Iger previously said in 2011 that a release of the film on home media "wouldn't necessarily sit right or feel right to a number of people today".
The advisories come as part of Disney's ongoing review of its archive content.
