A “Lightyear” producer told Reuters that Chinese authorities had requested cuts to the film, which Disney refused to make, and she assumed the film would not be released there as well. The animated film depicts a same-sex couple sharing a brief kiss, prompting the United Arab Emirates to outlaw it.

According to the UAE, the couple’s relationship violated the country’s media content standards. In many Middle Eastern countries, homosexuality is considered a crime.

Other countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Lebanon, did not respond immediately to requests for comment on why they would not allow the film to be shown.
