Default Disney bans smoking in PG-13 films


Quote:
Disney has banned smoking in all future films rated PG 13.

The ban will include productions from Marvel, LucasFilm and Pixar, reports The Telegraph.

However, the ban will not apply to films which use smoking as an historical accuracy surrounding a real-life figure, such as Abraham Lincoln.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said: "We are extending our policy to prohibit smoking in movies across the board."

Clarifying the exception to the ban, he added: "For instance, we've been doing a movie on Abraham Lincoln, he was a smoker, and we would consider that acceptable.

"But in terms of any new characters that are created for any of those films, under any of those labels, we will absolutely prohibit smoking in any of those films."

Disney characters that have been shown smoking in the past include 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella De Vil, Alice in Wonderland's caterpillar and also Pinocchio.

Nice to see if it is historically accurate they will keep it in. I wonder how much if at all this has impacted movies close to development or already in development.

I wonder if this will be retroactively applied to Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.

Thank you, you're a wonderful crowd.

It happened already a while back with Pearl Harbor. Critics howled with derision that no one is shown smoking back in the 1930s and 1940s.

What's next? Bad language? Drinking? Unhealthy food? Sugary products? This is a slippery slope.

So does this mean if Marvel ever get X-Men back, we'll never see this again?
