More examples: There is at least one Disney film that is not available anywhere (Song of the South; even eBay banned sale of used dvds. I saw this film as a child on I guess VHS).

There are other Disney films and WB cartoons with large sequences removed.

Disney pulled the chord on SotS decades ago of their own accord despite their conservative leanings as an organization. That wasn’t because of “the wokes.” They straight up saw it as a liability.

It’s also very easy to watch if it’s that important to you to watch racist nonsense. Hell I think internet archive hosts it, they did a while back for sure.

Song of the South is apologist towards slavery. It should rot.
