Disney Removes Transgender Storyline from Pixar's First-Ever Long-Form Series 'Win or Lose'
Dec 17, 2024, 07:46 PM
Disney has removed a transgender storyline from Pixar's upcoming animated series 'Win or Lose,' the studio's first-ever long-form series set to debut on its streaming service. A spokesperson for Disney confirmed the decision, stating: "When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline." The transgender character will remain in the series, but references to their gender identity and any related storyline have been removed, affecting a few lines of dialogue in later episodes. 'Win or Lose' centers on a little league championship, and this move reflects Disney's sensitivity to parental preferences regarding the introduction of certain topics to young audiences.
