However, the very email making this claim opened with a corporate statement regarding the ongoing situation in Ukraine. To this end, it feels terrible to be a part of a company that makes money from Pride merch when it chooses to “step back” in times of our greatest need, when our rights are at risk.The second claim stated that “corporate statements do very little to change outcomes or minds”. Additionally, Disney began capitalizing on Pride in 2018 with The Rainbow Mickey Collection, (while de-emphasizing the terms like LGBTQ+ and not even featuring explicitly LGBTQIA+ pieces such as Pride flag pins until 2021). Disney has a history of shutting down fan-created Pride events in the parks, even removing same-sex couples for dancing together in the 1980's.

It began with the claim that Disney has a long history of supporting the LGBT community, but Disney Parks did not officially host Pride until 2019, in Paris alone. But it didn’t.Monday’s email, “Our Unwavering Commitment to the LGBTQ+ Community”, rang hollow. In regards to Disney’s financial involvement with legislators behind the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, we hoped that our company would show up for us. It’s no secret that huge companies capitalize and promote themselves by declaring their support for minorities, but, like many other companies before it, it seems like Disney is not willing to take real action when it comes to taking a stand that might hurt its profit.Ī Statement to Leadership from the LGBTQIA+ Employees of Pixar & Their AlliesWe are writing because we are disappointed, hurt, afraid, and angry. The problem is that shutting down and erasing these stories is silencing the very voices of LGBTQIA+ families that produce the content inside dozens of production companies. As we could imagine, this is done in order not to make audiences "angry" with the content that is being fed to their children. The letter makes clear that this didn't happen from lack of trying. Pixar has a history of trying to bring LGBTQIA+ voices into their mainstream movies, but so far these characters have been only in the background and their sexuality is mostly implied and never stated. Beyond the ‘inspiring content’ that we aren’t even allowed to create, we require action.” Even if creating LGBTQIA+ content was the answer to fixing the discriminatory legislation in the world, we are being barred from creating it. Nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut at Disney’s behest, regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar.

“Monday’s email, 'Our Unwavering Commitment to the LGBTQ+ Community', rang hollow. The letter also shot down Chapek’s statement that they can make the biggest impact on society through the content they produce by revealing that several Pixar pitches and scripts that featured LGBTQIA+ elements were systematically rejected. In the memo, Chapek stated that the “biggest impact” the company can make “in creating a more inclusive world is through the inspiring content we produce,” and pledged a $5 million donation to the Human Rights Campaign and other organizations. This week, after being criticized for staying mum as the "Don’t Say Gay" bill was passed in both the Florida House and Senate, Disney CEO Bob Chapek was pressured into releasing a statement and a company-wide memo, since many of the company’s LGBTQIA+’s employees are directly affected by the bill - which seeks to limit what can be taught in classrooms regarding gender and sexual orientation. Now, however, the Pixar team revealed in an official letter shared with Judd Legume, that creative decisions have angered them on a much deeper level. Earlier this year, the team that brought us films like Toy Story and Finding Nemo didn’t hold back to express their disappointment when the Mickey Mouse company decided to pull their latest animated film Turning Red from a theatrical release, giving it a Disney+ premiere instead.

It’s not exactly news that Pixar employees have been unhappy (to say the least) when it comes to their mother company Disney’s decisions regarding a series of issues.
