Was this the first Disney Animated Film to feature an interracial kiss?

I know Peter Pan gets a lot of hate for its stereotyping of the Native Americans, and rightfully so, but what I hadn't considered was whether or not Tiger Lily's kiss shared with Peter was the first time an interracial kiss was shared in a Disney film. Is there any precedent for that? Just wondering.

Hm, I don't know, does it count if it's just (to use an unfortunate term) an "eskimo kiss"? Although Peter's face disappears back under the headdress for a second, to me they still appear to just rub noses. Even if they did lock lips, that's basically some incidental censorship.
