I prefer the disclaimer route as Disney is doing with the Muppets, rather than just locking them away in a vault, as Disney did with Song of the South.
There's a discussion to be had about allowing controversial material to exist and be consumed, but it's a little different when it's the company themselves saying some of this imagery is dated and we weren't making money on it so we'll let it go out of print. To me it'd be a different debate if say it were already in a library or a store and people were protesting to stop other people from seeing it.
