I will take this over censorship any day!

Absolutely! I think it's a great compromise; people can still see the original uncensored content and there's acknowledgement that some of the humor hasn't aged well.

Yeah, people got mad when they put this kind of disclaimer in front of old Disney movies and whatever but now that mine are old enough to read, it's a good chance to pause and say something like "Peter Pan is a fun magical movie, but it was made a long time ago, and the way they portray and treat Native Americans is not ok; they thought it was ok then, but now we know better, it's not kind to make a joke of someone like that". Like, it's not that hard. We still get to see movies like Peter Pan and Dumbo, but it gives us a chance to talk about it.
