Disney has made changes to its upcoming Pixar series 'Win or Lose,' removing a storyline centered around a transgender character. The company stated that the decision was made to respect parental wishes to discuss these topics with their children.
Disney has dropped a transgender storyline from its upcoming animated Pixar series 'Win or Lose,' a spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday. Pixar Animation Studios' 'Win or Lose,' follows a co-ed middle-school softball team named the Pickles in the week leading up to their championship softball game, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which first broke the news about the changes made to the show.
Disney confirmed that lines of dialogue referencing a character's gender identity were removed from later episodes in the show. 'A source close to Win or Lose said the studio made the decision to alter course several months ago,' THR reported. A spokesperson for the media company said in a statement that the changes were made in deference to parents who would prefer to address those sorts of topics with their children on their own. 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,' a Disney spokesperson told Fox News Digital about the changes made to the show. 'Win or Lose' premieres on Disney+ in February 2025, and is Pixar's first-ever original series. Disney has faced backlash in recent years from conservatives who've accused the media giant of inserting messages about sexuality and gender identity in entertainment geared towards younger audiences. In 2022, Pixar's 'Lightyear' received negative attention ahead of its opening because of reports of a same-sex kiss in the animated film. The movie went on to bomb at the box office, earning $51 million its opening weekend. The following year, the Pixar film 'Elemental,' which features the studio's first 'non-binary' character, earned just $29.5 million in its opening weekend
