After 27 years of “Toy story”, theaters welcome “Lightyear”, the spin-off that brings us closer to Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger who inspired Andy’s iconic toy and whose origins will finally be revealed. However, this new movie pixarstarring Chris Evans in the voice of the astronaut, has raised an avalanche of reactions for a particular scene that shows content in support of the community LGBTQ+.
YOU CAN SEE: “Lightyear”, post-credit scenes: does the spin-off of “Toy story” have more history?
In fact, the premiere of the animated film was banned in 14 countries in the Middle East, for including a lesbian kiss in one of its sequences, which -according to the United Arab Emirates, to cite one of the examples- supposedly “violates content standards current media in the Emirates”.
Despite the fact that many would ‘justify’ that this thought can occur due to the culture of that region, the public is incredulous that this situation has migrated to ours, although somewhat ‘dosed’. Specifically, as displayed even on its website, Cineplanet Peru has chosen to add the following ‘warning’ line to the synopsis of “Lightyear”: “It contains scenes with gender ideology.”
This ‘clarification’ for a particular content in the feature film has unleashed all kinds of reactions, which have positioned the aforementioned chain among the trends of Twitterplatform in which they have shown that this controversial decision has not been disseminated in all markets, since the panorama is different in Chili.
