JAKARTA - Disney Pixar's latest film, Lightyear, has reportedly been banned in 14 countries due to the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) scene. Saudi Arabia became the first country to ban the screening of a film scheduled for release on June 16.

Saudi Arabia, like other countries that have a Muslim majority, prohibits same-sex relations. Reportedly it was seen in the film Lightyear, starring Chris Evans.

Apart from Saudi Arabia, Disney is also said to have failed to get a broadcast schedule in 13 other countries including Lebanon, Kuwait, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Launching The Independent, Lightyear shows a kiss scene between Hawthorne, whose character is filled by Uzo Aduba with a fellow woman.

Disney reportedly did not want to cut any scenes for release in certain countries. The scene is said to have something to do with the main character Buzz Lightyear, which is filled by Chris Evans.

Evans as the voice actor admitted that he was confused to see that there was a ban on films that expanded social relations.

"It's great that we're part of something that's making strides forward in social inclusion capacity, but it's frustrating that there's still a place where it shouldn't be," said Chris Evans.

Lightyear tells of Buzz Lightyear stranded on a planet 4.2 million light from Earth with their crew. Buzz tries to find his way home by joining an ambitious group and a charming robot cat.

Previously, the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was also banned from showing in Saudi Arabia because of its LGBT content.
