Disney's Peter Pan DVD

I recently bought Disney's Peter Pan DVD for my 3 year old son. I am a very

protective parent and do not allow my kid to watch just any kind of

programming. Being Disney the reputed company that it is, I blindly let my

son watch this movie with its Spanish audio track, since my kid speaks

Spanish only. To my surprise, it is full of racial slurs and violent

content. It seems that Disney has edited the English audio track to make it

"politically correct" and eliminating offensive content, while not doing so

in the Spanish track. For example, in the scene where the kids and Peter Pan

are talking about having happy thoughts, little boy John says (in the

English track): "I think I'll be an Indian brave", while in the Spanish

track it says: "Yo muchos indios voy a matar" ("I'm going to kill lots of

Indians"). This is just an example of an array of violent language content

included in this DVD. I lost count of how many times the word "kill" comes

up in this movie. No surprise that now my 3 year old is going around saying

"I'm going to kill you" to anyone. This is an outrage and I wonder why

English speaking kids deserve to be protected from this kind of language,

and Spanish speaking kids don't. This is a terrible, terrible mistake.

Disney is a company for kids everywhere in the world, no matter what

language they speak. I am now weary of buying additional Disney movies for

my son. As a mother I am deeply surprised, disappointed, and saddened by

this fact.
