Disney’s Lightyear will not run in some countries

Light year Screening will not be allowed in many countries due to a short scene showing a same-sex kiss, which was removed from an early version of the film, but has been brought back for the final cut. The film was banned in markets such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia and Indonesia. While none of these markets are huge markets for American pillars of support, it is also possible that the film would be banned from showing in Chinese theaters if the scene was not removed or edited. China recently forced Warner Bros. to make discounts in Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets To avoid references to a same-sex relationship.

Pixar, which has been highly critical of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida, re-kissed after Disney CEO Bob Chapek mishandled the situation. As such, it seems unlikely that Pixar would be willing to make cuts in the context of what Warner Bros. did. for the Wizarding World sequel. according to Limitthe scene appears to be between Alisha, the character voiced by Uzu Aduba, and another woman.

Warner Bros. said. In time. “We hope to launch our features worldwide as our creators did but throughout history we have encountered small tweaks made in local markets. Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets, a six-second cut was requested and accepted by Warner Bros. These changes to accommodate local requirements but the spirit of the film remains intact. We want audiences everywhere in the world to watch and enjoy this movie, and it’s important to us that Chinese audiences have the opportunity to experience it as well, even with these minor edits.”

Other recent Disney releases to meet similar challenges in international markets have included Marvel’s eternity And the Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madness.
