A few months ago they did an extended series on the Disney movie 'Song of the South' that came out in 1946.  I remember seeing this played on the Wonderful World of Disney when I was a kid and may actually have seen it in a theater when I was really young.

It's been pulled from their collection and won't be rereleased.  Holy Moly...the racism and stereotypes in that movie are unnerving.  As a little kid I just liked the music and it was one of the first live action/animation films I recall seeing.  I am pretty sure I had the Uncle Remus books and I clearly recall Br'er Rabbit stories.  

I am not sure exactly how I feel about censoring films.  They are a reflection of the time in which they were made.  But I don't have a problem with a company deciding they want to pull something from their lineup.  

Do we pull 'To Kill a Mockingbird' because it's depicts the times and then erase the message conveyed?

Gets a little dicey, I think.
Or we could do the same thing and put it in context and again this isn't censorship it's adding context

How is that sexism ?
