Lightyear Movie Banned in 14 Countries Due to Homosexuality

Buzz Lightyear, the character that we met in Disney’s Toy Story series and is engraved in our minds, will be released on June 17th. Although the film, which will be Pixar’s newest work, is eagerly awaited, it has continued to take place in an important discussion since the day it was announced. The gay scenes in the movie resonated all over the world.

According to the latest news, the scenes previously released by Disney and faced with protests, which were added to the movie after these protests, will prevent the movie from being released in many countries. According to the news of Reuters, which is based on an unnamed producer, the film will not be released in 14 different Middle Eastern and Asian countries.

Lightyear will not be released in China

Among the countries where Lightyear will not be released, China, the world’s largest cinema market, will also be included. According to the information provided by the producer to Reuters, this is due to Disney’s refusal to accept China’s demands. The producer shared that China asked Disney to cut the scenes in question, while Disney did not do it.

In the controversial scenes of the movie, Buzz’s close female friend marries another woman. In the controversial scenes of the gay couple, it is seen that the couple kiss for a short time. Disney was last on the agenda with the production of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in May, and could not release the movie in Saudi Arabia and several Middle Eastern countries.
