Disney thinks this is offensive, no one else does

Disney has pulled this film and it is not currently avaiable. The time is after the Civil War and the negros are free, so I don't see what is so offensive about this movie. White and black people get along fine. There are no racial slurs. The black people live in poverty and so do some of the white people. The "bad" people are white and there is also a bad bear and a bad fox.
Anyhow, a great and enjoyable movie. I'm not sure if I saw this in the theaters when I was younger. I was 5 when it hit theaters last and there's a huge chance. Maybe when I was younger I read a Disney book about this. And I REMEMBER THE RIDE AT DISNEYLAND! Do they still have it? It was like a log ride and I remember the fox and the axe.
This is insane. I was reading all about it on the web last night. The movie will enter the public domain in 2034, so there is speculation that Disney will release it again before then so they can make as much money off it as possible. Hm, definitely a movie I would show my children if I had any.
