Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries

Beauty and the Beast

One of Disney’s most highly anticipated live-action remakes was generally welcomed by audiences around the world. However, it was Kuwait that didn’t approve of the film and its release. Was it the monster, the magic, or the romance that stirred controversy?

It turns out it was none of that. In fact, it was the inclusion of LeFou – Disney’s first openly gay character – that would cancel the film’s release. Cinemas only found out afterward and even offered refunds after people complained.
