‘Lightyear’ is a spin-off and it tells the origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger from the ‘Toy Story’. However, the movie will not be screened in the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi, and other countries in West Asia because of a same-sex kiss scene. This scene does not fall under the appropriate age classification of the country’s media content standards.
