Walt Disney Co has been unable to obtain permission to show its new Pixar movie “Lightyear” in 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries, a source said on Monday, and the animated film appeared unlikely to open in China, the world’s largest movie market.

"Lightyear" is a prequel to Pixar's acclaimed"Toy Story" franchise.

The animated film depicts a same-sex couple who share a brief kiss, which prompted the United Arab Emirates to ban the film. Disney has not received an answer from Chinese authorities on whether they would allow the film in cinemas, “Lightyear”producer Galyn Susman said.China has rejected other on-screen depictions of homosexuality in the past.
