Films including Gone With The Wind, Flash Gordon and the animated version of Dumbo that are available on Sky Cinema now come with a warning that they contain “outdated attitudes, language and cultural depictions which may cause offence today”.

The channel, which is also available on Now TV, has added a disclaimer to a number of titles to warn viewers about issues of cultural sensitivities and potentially offensive attitudes.

It comes after streaming service HBO Max removed Gone With The Wind following criticism of its “racist depictions”. The 1939 epic, set in the south of the US during the American Civil War, will return to the service with a discussion about its historical context and criticism of its “racial prejudices”.
