Malaysia and other Muslim countries have banned "Lightyear" from playing in theaters after Disney refused to cut a same-sex kissing scene from the animated film.
The Disney Pixar film was released in theaters on June 17. Malaysia's Film Censorship Board said it approved the movie with parental guidance for those under 13 on the condition of modifications.
Scenes and dialogues that it "found to contain elements promoting the LGBT lifestyle, which violate key aspects of the Guidelines on the Film Censorship," were ordered to "be cut and muted." "However, the film distributors did not agree to comply with the instructions" and decided instead to cancel the screening, the board said, adding that it would not compromise on any LGBTQ scenes.
