A mum has criticised Disney after her daughter heard swearing in a kid's film

A mother has labelled Disney an "absolute disgrace" after the company denied that one of its characters can be heard saying the F-word in a children's movie.

Emma Reed from Pontefract in Yorkshire said she was left stunned when her four year old daughter, Ava, began repeating the swear word after watching the Disney+ channel.

When Emma asked where Ava had learned the word, her daughter told her it was said in the 2019 family film, Lady and the Tramp. The mother then watched the film herself, only to be shocked by what she heard.

'I was shocked'

Emma, 31, said: "Ava came into the kitchen and blurted it out, so I asked where she got it from.

"She told me it was what Lady had said it in Lady and Tramp and I told her she would never say that.

"She got quite upset, so I watched the film and at 36 minutes I heard it. I was just shocked."

"My first reaction was to ring Disney, but got no joy really," she continued.

"They rang me back a couple of days later and said they couldn't hear it, and couldn't see how a four year old could pick that up from there, but it's obvious.
