Kissing isn't wrong? And especially a kiss on the cheek. If kissing was so wrong then most Disney films should be censored
No kiss of true love, reunion kiss, first kiss in the Disney Channel shows, etc. it either applies to everything or nothing.
Yes, but we have to remember it's a small minority of folks. I have known married gay couples for decades before it was legal, and I only know of two couples who have children;
- An older Lesbian couple with one wife who is a reformed Mormon who was married to a man decades ago and had several children (all now grown) with him.
- A middle-aged gay couple, very succesful doctor's both of them, who had twin boys via a surrogate mother just over a decade ago.
I know that gay/Lesbian couples who have adopted kids is a growing thing, and I do think that's wonderful, but it's still a tiny sliver of a fraction of 1% of the American theater-going audience.
This isn't a moral issue, it's a business decision to do right by the shareholders.
The vast majority of Disney's core audience for Pixar films is heterosexual families with young children. Society has changed greatly since President Clinton signed the first anti-gay marriage bill 25 years ago to "protect marriage" for his straight voters. But even with all the change since then, most American parents aren't ready to send their young kids off to a Pixar movie that has an astronaut Lesbian couple in it for no apparent reason other than to appease anonymous people on Twitter and Emeryville's HR department.
I don't think it was the only reason for Lightyear's failure, but I bet it played into at least 20% of the missing box office over the past two weeks. Burbank desperately needed that missing box office.
Also no clue how you would know if they screened that or not as I couldn't find any article on if that film had any controversy nor is it showing on Disney+.
It was a joke. I literally Googled "Kurt Russell winks miniskirt" and that came up. I'm an old 1960's Disney movie nerd, but I don't remember that on at all. But I laughed, and cut and pasted.
The point remains though; I may not be adept at today's current crop of Pixar cartoons, but I am fairly familiar with the film canon from Walt Disney Productions circa 1962 to 1982, that are almost universally silly G rated fare that wouldn't make Mrs. Lillian Disney blush. The thought that some of those films now need to be screened for morality and correct thinking is hilarious, when they just tried to convince America's parents to take the kiddies to a $200 Million non-funny PG rated cartoon that had Lesbian astronauts.
