According to the Pixar letter, that claim is at odds with employees' experience of trying to create content with same-sex affection approved by Disney executives.
Los Angeles: A statement attributed to "the LGBTQIA+ employees of Pixar, and their allies" obtained by 'Variety', employees of the animation studio allege that Disney corporate executives have demanded cuts from "nearly every moment of overtly gay affection" regardless of when there is a protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar.
The stunning claim is part of a wider reaction to the company-wide memo sent to Disney employees by CEO Bob Chapek on Monday regarding its response to the recently passed legislation in Florida known as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, reports variety.com.
In the memo, Chapek states that the "biggest impact" the company can make "in creating a more inclusive world is through the inspiring content we produce".
According to the Pixar letter, that claim is at odds with employees' experience of trying to create content with same-sex affection approved by Disney executives.
"We at Pixar have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were," the letter states.
