The government of Russia has warned the Walt Disney Company against distributing one of Pixar’s shorts films in the country, noting that the film violates Russian law.
The short in question, Out, directed by Steven Clay Hunter and produced by Max Sachar, was released on Disney+ last year as part of Pixar’s Sparkshorts series. It features a lead character who is gay.
Russia’s internet and communications regulator Roskomnadzor wrote in a letter to Disney that the film was harmful the country’s children because it “denies family values and promotes non-traditional sexual relationships.”
