The lead actor in a '90s Disney film has responded to calls for the film to be removed from streaming after being called “inappropriate.”

Between The Lion King, Tangled, Moana and many more that I won't get into now, it's safe to say that Disney has released some epic and much-loved films over the years.

Given that some of his popular releases were made in the 1940s, it's no surprise that some of them contain content that wouldn't necessarily make the cut for a film today.

However, it might be surprising to learn that a film made in the 1990s sparked controversy for exactly the same reason.

The 1994 film Blank check stars Brian Bonsall as an 11-year-old boy who inherits a blank check and uses it to buy houses under different names.

This may seem amusing, Alone at home-style comedy, but a controversial part of the plot involves the 11-year-old apparently entering into a romantic relationship with an adult woman, played by Karen Duffy.

Duffy, who was 31 at the time, played a bank teller/FBI agent, and at one point she kissed Bonsall's character on the lips and told him she would have a meet him in six years.

However, as Bonsall's character was only 11 years old, that would only make him 17 years old.

I'd like to think that the storyline was also questioned at the time, but it's definitely something that audiences are now labeling as completely inappropriate.

One person wrote: “PLEASE remove the film, the blank check from Disney+ and your brand. »

“As I continue to rewatch movies from my childhood, I constantly find myself thinking, 'ohh, that wouldn't fly today,'” another commented.

Another commented: “This is so bad, this was one of my favorite movies as a kid.”

In response to the criticism, Bonsall shared a Facebook post in which he appeared to dismiss questions regarding the film's relevance.

He wrote: “I had a blast filming this movie! It was a pleasure working with everyone and it's great to see so many people still enjoying it!”

Some fans of the film have sided with Bonsall, largely arguing that the film was made in a “different era”.

One posted: “Oh for the love of God leave this movie alone. Not everything needs to be re-evaluated from a modern perspective.”

Another wrote: “Stop taking away our childhood. It was a different time. I don't like it, don't watch it.”

UNILAD has contacted Disney for comment.
