"Le 9 mars, l employés et alliés LGBTQ Pixar ont envoyé une déclaratn mune à la directn Disney, affirmant que l dirigeants la firme avaient activement censuré "l'affectn ouvertement gay" dans s films. Il existe en effet s films d'animatn qui montrent s personnag homosexuels mais c films sont stés à un public adulte: South park en 1999, Persepolis en 2007, Ssage Party et le récent Flee, nommé à l'Osr du Meillr film d' représentatn s personn LGBTQ dans l films d'animatn stés à un jne public t beup pl rare. Mais il a rapiment ajouté: "no n'en avons pas tant parlé" parce que le film se "ncentre sur l'amié" et t "pré-romantique" s employés Pixar: "No no somm très souvent hrtés à la qutn savoir ment faire pour représenter s personnag gays sans lr donner un térêt amourx.
