The latest film from Disney/PIXAR is set for a theatrical release on June 17 but has been met with some controversy as it has been revealed a same-sex kiss scene has been restored to Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ following employee outrage over the Florida bill. Despite the controversy, a sneak peek of the film is coming to Walt Disney World Resort between now and June 17 for Guests to catch a peek of the film at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

PIXAR has made a big promise to fans about its newest film. During the 94th Academy Awards, PIXAR aired a commercial that promised a theatrical debut for its upcoming film, Lightyear. If you watched the Academy Awards, you might have missed it, thanks to a surprising and unscripted smack across the face of Chris Rock, compliments of Will Smith.

In the commercial, PIXAR promised a theatrical debut for Lightyear, making it the first PIXAR movie to be released at the theater and not on the Disney+ streaming platform since March 2020 when Onward was released at the box office during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic.
