  Why do you think they're not appropriate anymore? Not necessarily disagreeing, just curious about the opinion. There's animated violence, lots of racial stereotypes, unsafe house behaviour, etc. Is it just an overall combination of them that you think is not appropriate, or something specific?

    Standards for what is socially considered appropriate for children has changed over time, at least in American society. For example, in one of the DVD re-releases of the late 1960s-early 1970s seasons of Sesame Street, a children's television program that airs on PBS, there is a disclaimer that says that these re-released episodes are intended for adults and not for children due to the changed social norms. And these changes have nothing to do with racism or cartoon violence; these changes have to do with other norms such as children talking to strangers. This YouTube video has a segment of an interview that discusses this further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vow6p7uKVw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vow6p7uKVw
