Saw that in front of the original Junglebook and couldn't work out what it's referring to... Haven't seen it for years and didn't watch past the first few mins though so maybe it's obvious!

It's the depiction of the character King Louis in Jungle Book, this article mentions some of the other Disney films the content warning has been added too.

The monkeys and King Louis (orangutan) are voiced as black (by white actors obviously...).
EDIT...too slow...

While on the subject of movies, my daughter put on a Disney film the other day and I saw they have now added a disclaimer about how their old films have racist elements, I never even noticed it before but apparently its been updated from this...
'This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions'
To this...
'This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.'
A step in the right direction?
