Peter Pan Ride To Get Makeover To Remove Insensitive Stereotypes

Insensitive racial stereotypes and caricatures of indigenous people will be removed from Disneyland’s Peter Pan ride and replaced with a different scene depicting the Never Land Tribe, the park’s officials said.

The change to Peter Pan’s Flight in Fantasyland is in line with a recent update to its sister ride at Florida’s Magic Kingdom.

It is the latest in a series of updates aimed at keeping the park’s attractions “authentic, relatable and relevant,” according to Disneyland officials.

A disclaimer on Disney+ that accompanies the 1953 animated movie “Peter Pan” notes the negative and harmful depictions of the indigenous people.

“These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” says the disclaimer.

The new Never Land Tribe scene in Peter Pan’s Flight at the Magic Kingdom theme park near Orlando, Florida, depicts a harvest celebration with animatronic figures of Tiger Lily and her great-grandmother on a spinning turntable, according to Attractions Magazine.

“The change in Orlando attempts to empower Tiger Lily while depicting the other members of the Tribe with dignity that was absent in the previous version of the scene,” according to Theme Park Insider.

The scene to be replaced shows members of the tribe sitting around a campfire, the chief with his arms crossed over his chest.

Peter Pan’s Flight was an opening day attraction in 1955 at the Anaheim theme park.
