The Hill has reached out to Disney, Pixar’s parent company, for comment. The characters’ relationship itself was never called into question during production, a source told Variety, but the kiss was only recently reinstated. It reportedly includes a scene in which a character named Hawthorne, voiced by Uzo Aduba, kisses another woman, Variety reported. The prequel follows popular character Buzz Lightyear, who will be voiced by Chris Evans. Pixar’s “Toy Story” prequel “Lightyear” has restored a previously cut same-sex kiss after backlash from employees concerned Disney’s handling of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, according to a Friday report.
