Peter and the Lost Boys engage in dancing, wearing headdresses and other exaggerated tropes, a form of mockery and appropriation of Native peoples' culture and imagery," the site continues.</p><p>In another example, Disney points to a scene from "Dumbo," where a group of crows has a musical number that references Jim Crow laws and perpetuates anti-Black stereotypes.</p><div type="image" title="dumbo crows" height="679" width="907" msid="78726234" hostid="261"></div><p>"The crows and musical number pay homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations," Disney's website reads.</p><p>The "Stories Matter" explanation continues: "The leader of the group in Dumbo is Jim Crow, which shares the name of laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. In 'The Song of the Roustabouts,' faceless Black workers toil away to offensive lyrics like 'When we get our pay, we throw our money all away.'"</p><p>In November 2019, <a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/disney-plus-outdated-cultural-depictions-dumbo-1203403518/">Disney added a shorter content warning to some of its movies created in the 1940s and '50s, including "Dumbo."</a> The original advisory message read: "This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions."</p><p>Instead of removing scenes from its movies, Disney says that it's using the new content advisories to spark a conversation about harmful stereotypes and improve representation in its content moving forward.</p><p>"We also want to acknowledge that some communities have been erased or forgotten altogether, and we're committed to giving voice to their stories as well," reads the "Stories Matter" website.</p><p>However, one of Disney's older movies, 1946 "Song of the South," is not available on the Disney Plus platform, according to Variety.  </p><p>The film is set on a plantation and follows "a Black former slave who lives happily on his former white master's plantation," <a href="https://www.insider.com/moments-themes-in-disney-movies-that-havent-aged-well-problematic#every-moment-of-song-of-the-south-is-offensive-5">Insider's Abby Monteil previously noted.</a> The movie inspired Splash Mountain, <a href="https://www.insider.com/people-petition-disney-change-splash-mountain-song-of-the-south-2020-6">an attraction at Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Tokyo theme parks</a>, as well as the ride's characters, songs, and settings. </p><p>In June, Disney announced — amid a petition to update the ride — that <a href="https://www.insider.com/disney-changing-splash-mountain-ride-tied-to-jim-crow-film-2020-6">it would change Splash Mountain to be themed around the 2009 movie "The Princess and the Frog."</a></p><p>Representatives for The Walt Disney Company did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.</p><ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/disney-live-action-remake-cartoon-comparison-2019-4">Here's how every character in the new Disney live-action movies compares to the original versions</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/yara-shahidi-black-tinker-bell-peter-pan-cast-live-action-2020-9">Yara Shahidi will be the first Black actor to play Tinker Bell in the live-action 'Peter Pan' remake</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/underrated-disney-halloween-costume-ideas-2018-10">22 underrated Disney costumes that will help you stand out on Halloween</a></li></ul>

And it's touting this pool of data, which the company says is rich with information on how people shop, along with a slew of new shopping-oriented ad products, in meetings planned with 30 or so agencies and marketers over the next few weeks, the company told Business Insider.</p><p>The message is simple: We are uniquely positioned to help marketers sell products.</p><p>Spearheading the effort is Troy Young, the global president of Hearst Magazines Digital Media, along with Adam Harris, the vice president of data products at Hearst Digital Media, who joined the company from Mashable in May.</p><p>"This is the Amazonification of media," Young said.</p><p>Harris, who has logged stints at ad-tech firms like Collective and PointRoll, said that while Facebook excelled at targeting people using basic demographic information like age and gender, "we know more about people's shopping habits than Facebook."</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Hearst</span></p><p class="caption">Hearst thinks its readers are ready to shop.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2>We've always helped people buy stuff</h2><p>That's bold talk for a company thought of by some as a print dinosaur, given Facebook and Google's dominance - the two companies by some estimates <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/30c81d12-08c8-11e7-97d1-5e720a26771b">devour upward of 75% of every new dollar spent</a> on digital advertising.</p><p>In fact, it's the data aspect of this claim that might get you laughed out of some conference rooms on Madison Avenue, as those two tech giants are seen as winning again and again because they have more data on real people than anybody else - and as a result are the best in the business at helping marketers get people to make purchases.</p><p>But Young argues that magazines like Redbook, Good Housekeeping, and Esquire have long been in the business of telling people what to buy. And more recently, rather than shying away from that fact in its sales strategy for fear of casting doubt on its editorial integrity, Hearst is embracing it.</p><p>A few years ago Hearst even introduced a standalone commerce-oriented site called <a href="https://digiday.com/media/hearst-experimenting-commerce-content/">Best Products</a>. Now it's encouraging editors to grade themselves on how many products they sell.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Hearst</span></p><p class="caption">Hearst is pushing new shopping-oriented ads.</p></div><p></p></div></div>"There's a misperception that journalists don't like feedback," Young said. He said when the company started talking about producing content for paying advertisers a few years ago, his public-relations team would warn him never to suggest that editors worked on content for marketers.</p><p>Now things have changed, he said, as the company hires more versatile digital-content producers. "They all want to know how much stuff their work is selling," he said.</p><p>OK, but surely magazine brands don't have the kind of data to prove the efficacy of this content and advertising the same way Facebook and Google can, right?</p><h2>Our data is better than you think</h2><p>Well, not in the same way that people build profiles using their real names, Harris acknowledged. But Hearst's magazines do have a solid number of email addresses from various subscription lists as well as billing info from print subscribers and a growing number of anonymous mobile-device identifiers, he said.</p><p>To help tie all this together, the company has invested in data science and ad technology, Harris said. Plus, over the past year, Hearst's various publications have pushed out editorial content designed to both entertain and furnish these profiles with more shopping info.</p><p>Think <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/quizzes#.ip8m6K3LG">BuzzFeed quizzes</a> centered on sussing out people's shopping inclinations. For example, Cosmo asks "When I need <keyword id="6354851" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="retail">retail</keyword> therapy, I'm most likely to buy" followed by various shoe-style choices.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Hearst</span></p><p class="caption">Hearst uses fun interactive content to gather data on consumers.</p></div><p></p></div></div>"We needed to be smarter," Harris said. "We're building a database of human connections that we can exploit."</p><p>Plus, Hearst now has seven brands on Snapchat Discover, where people interact with content frequently. Young pointed to a recent poll on Seventeen's Discover channel asking "<a href="http://www.seventeen.com/life/a27471/ideal-celeb-roommate/">Which Celeb Would You Want to be Your College Roommate?</a>" (Zendaya, Dove Cameron, Yara Shahidi, Kylie Jenner).</p><p>Young said that a million people responded in an hour and that more people would see that content than read some of Seventeen magazine in a month. "That's real data!" he said.</p><p>Of course, knowing that some people like <a href="https://zendaya.com/">Zendaya</a> over Kylie Jenner won't tell Hearst which shoes they'll buy. But it can convey something about their style or perhaps their age. That can be appended to other information Hearst has on its consumers.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Hearst</span></p><p class="caption">Hearst learns about its readers on Snapchat.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2>Marketing traditions upended</h2><p>Young believes that the traditional patterns people go through when learning about brands and making decisions on which to buy have collapsed, given the emergence of Amazon, Fresh Direct, and other direct-to-consumer shopping services.</p><p>"The funnel is dead," he said. He's referring to the traditional marketing treatise that people are made aware of ad products with brand advertising (the top of the funnel) then are further convinced with other ads later on - moving them down the funnel, metaphorically speaking, before getting them to pull the trigger on a purchase when ready.</p><p>Facebook, Google, and Amazon are thought to excel at the bottom of the funnel. And that's where Hearst wants to make inroads.</p><p>"I'm not even sure young people care about certain brands that much anymore," Young said. "We know who people are and what you can sell to them. We want to help marketers figure out what is going on."</p><p>Hearst will surely face some skepticism. Even if magazines like Cosmo are known for their influence, people don't typically buy things on those sites. They'll have to prove they can pull all this together from both execution and tracking perspectives.</p><p>"The traditional publishers have a good story around knowing their customers and content," one ad buyer said. "It's how their business was built. Their ability to translate that to a digital offering has been slow."</p><p>"I don't think the concept is crazy per se," this buyer said. "The question is how much scale they have, which can be a challenge when it comes to data matching. I'm not sure it's big or unique enough."</p><p>Still, there's surely an appetite among ad buyers to do something other than spend more on Facebook and Google. That's what Hearst is looking to tap into.</p><p>"There are areas we believe we have more leverage," said Young, who wants Hearst's new data/tech business to be viewed as a platform - like Facebook's and Google's - that can be used to launch new brands. "We need to capture the value of the whole thing, the whole funnel. We can bring this all together in a way few people can."</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-footage-hurricane-harvey-threat-texas-2017-8">Terrifying NASA footage from space shows the giant Hurricane Harvey about to slam the Texas coast</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div>
