"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."
Now, after years of parent complaints about the sexualized identitarian-themed content, Disney has started to take the hint. The mega studio has decided to cut a "trans storyline" from Pixar's "Win or Lose" series, saying that perhaps parents would prefer discussing these matters with their children "on their own terms."
"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," said a Disney spokesperson, per Variety.
"Win or Lose" is a long-form series from Pixar, the first the animation studio has made. It was meant to showcase a trans storyline, but that has since been quashed. The plot is about a school's co-ed softball team that is slated to play in the championships. Each episode trails a different character, Variety reports, including "the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire." Apparently one of those episodes was meant to showcase a trans storyline.
Variety reported that a source said, "references to one of the characters’ gender identity was removed, affecting a few lines of dialogue in the show’s later episodes, though it appears that there was not a full episode devoted to the subject matter."
Pixar states: "'Win or Lose,' Pixar Animation Studios’ first-ever original long-form animated series, follows the Pickles, a co-ed middle school softball team, in the week leading up to their championship game. Each episode offers a look inside the off-the-field life of a character—a player, their parent, the umpire—revealing their funny, emotional and always relatable point of view in a unique visual style."
Disney has come under fire for implementing ideological, as opposed to character or story drive, plot lines throughout their content. Dr. Jordan Peterson has slammed Disney's smash hit Frozen for not following any hero's journey but for contriving a plot intentionally to boost the concept of girl power. Disney's Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler, has been on the rocks since Zegler declared that the love story aspect of the film had been replaced by Snow White's quest for power—essentially remaking Snow White's journey as the one her enemy, the Wicked Queen, had undertaken in the 1935 version.
