Disney Updates Peter Pan Ride to Remove Stereotypes

Disneyland is set to update Peter Pan's Flight to eliminate stereotypical portrayals of Indigenous peoples, following similar changes at Disney World. The original depiction featured a chief in a headdress and drumming braves, which will now be replaced by a scene showcasing Tiger Lily and her mother in a more culturally sensitive context. Disney officials emphasized their commitment to making thoughtful updates to ensure attractions remain relevant and authentic. This move aligns with previous actions taken by Disney, including the addition of content warnings for films like the original 'Peter Pan' that highlight racist imagery. The timeline for these changes at Disneyland is currently unspecified, but they are part of a broader effort to address cultural sensitivities in the park's attractions. The updates reflect a growing trend in the entertainment industry towards more accurate and respectful representations of diverse cultures.
