  • Disney+ Adds Content Disclaimer to ‘The Muppet Show’ Episodes

    Disney+ Adds Content Disclaimer to ‘The Muppet Show’ Episodes

    Disney Plus has added a content warning to the beginning of 18 episodes of The Muppet Show, which first aired in 1976 and started streaming on the platform on Friday.

    Disclaimer warnings have previously been added to Disney films such as Aladdin, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats and Dumbo.

    “This programme includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures,” the disclaimer reads. “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.”

    It’s unstated precisely what Disney considers to be offensive on the show, but some characters depict Native American, Middle Eastern and Asian people.

    And in season five, legendary country singer Johnny Cash is seen performing in front of a Confederate flag.

    Disney’s disclaimer added: “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 advisory note comes after several months of revisionism around films and TV programmes which could be considered offensive by the standards of today.

    Disney Releases First ‘Cruella’ Trailer Starring Emma Stone

    Disney has released the first trailer for Disney’s Cruella, the live-action adaptation of 101 Dalmations starring Emma Stone.

    Stone will portray Cruella de Vil circa the 1970s, and the film will delve into her life prior to her penchant for terrorizing the puppies of London, as was depicted in the 1961 animated original film.

    “The thing is, I was born brilliant. Born bad — and a little bit mad,” Stone’s Cruella says in the trailer as you can see below:

    The film also stars Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry as Cruella’s henchmen Horace and Jasper, and Emma Thompson as the Baroness, the head of a fashion house where our budding villainess gets a job. Having been announced in 2013 and cast its leading lady in 2016, the project has had a long journey to the screen, passing between multiple writers before Dana Fox and Tony McNamara wrote the final version of the screenplay.

    The Walt Disney Company releases Cruella on May 28.

    Cruella’s first trailer drops on Wednesday, and the film is scheduled to be released on May 28.
