According to a report by IGN, the decision was made after the failure of Lightyear, a spin-off of Toy Story, which featured a lesbian couple.
Pixar reportedly pressured the filmmakers of Inside Out 2sequel to the 2015 film, to make the protagonist, Riley Andersen“less gay”. According to a report by IGNthe studio would be worried about the repercussion of the film after the failure of Lightyearderived from Toy Story released in 2022, which featured a lesbian couple.
“In the movie, what you saw, nothing about Riley says that she’s gay, but it’s kind of suggested, based on certain contexts. And so that was something that they tried to downplay at various points.”a source told the website.
According to the person interviewed, it was necessary to take special care with the relationship between Riley and Vala hockey player greatly admired by the girl, so that he would seem as platonic as possible, which even required editing the lighting and tone of certain scenes to remove any trace of supposed “chemistry” between the two.
“[Tínhamos que] do a lot of extra work to make sure no one saw them as straight”he added.
Despite Pixar’s alleged attempts to brand the sexuality of Riley As a heterosexual, the theory that the girl was lesbian, bisexual or non-binary — that is, that she does not identify with the male or female genders — began to be fed on social media. Many even believe that the girl’s big secret, presented in the film, would be about her sexual orientation. Check it out:
