I saw the movie as a kid and liked it. My girlfriend and I went to it as adults and I saw a completely different movie.

The offending language in question is the use of the word “hottentots,” which is used in the movie by Admiral Boom (Reginald Owen), including one instance in which he refers to chimney sweeps (like Bert) whose faces are covered in soot.
The word is a racially insensitive term for the Khoekhoe, an indigenous group of nomadic herders in South Africa.
